Australian Biosecuirty CRC for Emerging Infectious Disease is founded

On November 21, 2003 the University of Queensland launched the Australian Biosecurity Cooperative Research Centre (AB-CRC) for Emerging Infectious Disease following the award of a 7-year federal government grant of $60 million to a consortium. It consisted of 3 universities, 8 federal and state government agencies, 5 industry groups and 3 international organisations (Bangkok, New York and Winnipeg). [1, 2, 3, 4] The intent is for the partners to combine their resources and expertise using the latest diagnostic, computer and satellite technologies to develop specialised early warning systems for the rapid detection and response to disease outbreaks. The spread of new infectious diseases into Australia, through the movement of people and animals, viruses jumping from animals to humans, or even bioterrorism, is an increasing risk according to Dr Stephen Prowse the CEO “The global SARS epidemic is a perfect example of the far-reaching impacts of newly emerging diseases” Dr Prowse said. Experts in  AB-CRC, including Dr Hume Field and Professor John Mackenzie who were involved in the global response to the SARS outbreak, under the auspices of the World Health Organization. [3] Prof Mackenzie was on the WHO Emergency Committee in 2020, and both were authors on The Lancet statement..> READ MORE

The term “Disease X” is born – the next unknown pandemic

At a annual WHO R&D Blueprint meeting held February 6-7, 2018, "a group of experts" which Peter Daszak belongs to coined the term “Disease X”. They were "referring to the next pandemic, which would be caused by an unknown, novel pathogen that hadn’t yet entered the human population." and of which there was an "absence of efficacious drugs and/or vaccines". [1] The objective of the blueprint and meeting was "to reduce the time between declaration of a public health emergency and the availability of effective diagnostic tests, vaccines, antivirals and other treatments that can save lives and avert a public health crisis" Disease X would likely: Result from a virus originating in animals and would emerge somewhere on the planet where economic development drives people and wildlife together. Be confused with other diseases early in the outbreak and would spread quickly and silently; exploiting networks of human travel and trade, it would reach multiple countries and thwart containment. Have a mortality rate higher than a seasonal flu but would spread as easily as the flu. It would shake financial markets even before it achieved pandemic status.

Wildlife Trust becomes EcoHealth Alliance – Leader in One Health movement

In a press release September 21, 2010 the "Wildlife Trust", a non-profit international conservation organization founded in 1971, and stated to be "dedicated to protecting wildlife and safeguarding human and animal health", announced that the organization will be re-branded with a new name and tagline: EcoHealth Alliance, "Local Conservation, Global Health." [1, 2] Dr. Peter Daszak, president of EcoHealth Alliance said "Building on our strong history, we have grown beyond our original conservation focus to become the central organization defining the intersection of local conservation and global health...A leader in the One Health movement which began in 2004, EcoHealth Alliance is on the forefront of informing the public, businesses, and the scientific community about emerging diseases, including potential pandemics." [3] Through The Intercept FOI requests over $95 million of EcoHealth Alliance funding comes from USAID and US Department of Defence into potential "bioweapons" research. [4, 5] EcoHealth Alliance is in the center of tracking and cataloguing animal viruse genetic sequences and providing finance to laboratories for Gain-of-Function/Dual Use research.
