Why are some folks already refusing a vaccine for Disease X?

[link removed] No one is asking if you want a Disease X vaccine or jab, because it is not a real disease...

The usual suspects...

What is Disease X?

First things first though.

Before you refuse a vaccine for Disease X, shouldn't you what it actually is?

> "Disease X represents the knowledge that a serious international epidemic could be caused by a pathogen currently unknown to cause human disease, and so the R&D Blueprint explicitly seeks to enable cross-cutting R&D preparedness that is also relevant for an unknown “Disease X” as far as possible."

Wait...

So "Disease X" is an unknown disease that is caused by an unknown pathogen?

How could we already have a vaccine to protect us against it then?

Well, of course, we don't!

> "Disease X is a placeholder concept that refers to a pandemic pathogen that has not yet been characterized. Its purpose is to encourage proactive thinking about pathogens that could cause a pandemic. It represents a way to push people's thinking forward so that they're not wedded to lists of prior pandemic pathogens, like influenza."

All of the talk about Disease X is simply about getting prepared for the next big public health emergency or pandemic.

Preparation that just might help prevent it!

Preparation that will help us make a safe and effective vaccine much more quickly than if if we sat around doing nothing and simply waiting for a disease to hit us.

Refusing the Disease X Vaccine

But why would you refuse to take a vaccine ( [link removed] ) if you don't even know how bad the disease might be and you don't even know anything about the vaccine?

It's simple.

These folks ( [link removed] ) are against all vaccines ( [link removed] ) .

Which is a good reason that you shouldn't listen to their advice ( [link removed] ) that puts your family at risk.
