Daszak: COVID-19 is “Disease X”

On February 27, 2020, Peter Daszak wrote an Opinion in New York Time stating COVID-19 is Disease X which they’ve been telling us was coming and that CEPI was preparing for with fast, new vaccine platforms.

Peter Daszak heads up EcoHealth Alliance and funded coronavirus research at the Wuhan labs, the very labs he helped investigate as potential origin of SARS-CoV-2.

But this pandemic “will challenge us in new ways, as people try to evade quarantines, and misinformation campaigns and conspiracy theorists ply their trade in open democracies.”  More to the point he states “the really big picture: Pandemics are on the rise, and we need to contain the process that drives them, not just the individual diseases.”  “Plagues are not only part of our culture; they are caused by it.”

“These spillovers are increasing exponentially” he stats, [that is the  “Eco” and “Health” connection] because “our ecological footprint brings us closer to wildlife in remote areas and the wildlife trade brings these animals into urban centers” aka the wet market in China!
