Original Note:
Disease X is a placeholder name that was adopted by the WHO in February 2018 on their shortlist of blueprint priority diseases to represent a hypothetical, unknown pathogen that could cause a future epidemic. Tedros is correct, Alex Jones claim is false. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disease_X https://www.unmc.edu/healthsecurity/transmission/2023/09/27/what-is-disease-x-how-scientists-are-preparing-for-the-next-pandemic/ https://www.factcheck.org/2024/01/scicheck-posts-misrepresent-who-term-disease-x-for-possible-future-illness/ https://cepi.net/news_cepi/disease-x-what-it-is-and-what-it-is-not/
