In June of last year, Dr. Peter Hotez, a vaccine promoter, made headlines when he declined to debate Robert Kennedy Jr., an author, activist, presidential candidate, and attorney on the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.
Rather than accept the invitation extended by Joe Rogan to discuss the facts on his show, Dr. Hotez chose to take aim at both Kennedy and Rogan.
He stated that “Science is not something that is typically debated” – a statement which has caused many people to question his credentials and decision-making abilities as a scientist.
Recently, Dr. Hotez declared a new virus called ‘Disease X’ will be even more serious than COVID-19; however only time will tell whether this prediction is accurate or not.
“So I am very worried that we as a nation, haven’t made that commitment to really fully protect the American people,” Hotez told FOX 26.
“We have a likelihood that new pandemic threats that people call them disease x are going to be rising on a regular basis.”
“COVID-19 is just the warm-up act. The next pandemic may not be as severe, but it could be much more severe,” he added.

“Disease X” is a placeholder name that was adopted by the World Health Organization (WHO) in February 2018 on their shortlist of blueprint priority diseases to represent a hypothetical, unknown pathogen that could cause a future epidemic. It is a potential disease that could cause a global pandemic, and scientists are working to identify and prepare for it.
The WHO does not know what Disease X is, or what it could look like, but they are “concerned that it could arise at any time.”
Livemint reported:
Health experts are sounding the alarm about “Disease X,” a term coined by the World Health Organization. They warn that this potential new pandemic has the capacity to result in 20 times more fatalities than the coronavirus. The COVID-19 pandemic began in 2020 and has tragically claimed the lives of over 2.5 million people worldwide.
In an interview with the Daily Mail, Kate Bingham, who served as the chair of the UK’s Vaccine Taskforce from May to December 2020, expressed her belief that Disease X is expected to be considerably more perilous than COVID-19.
up to 50 million fatalities. “Let me put it this way: the 1918-19 flu pandemic killed at least 50 million people worldwide, twice as many as were killed in World War I. Today, we could expect a similar death toll from one of the many viruses that already exist,” she told the Daily Mail.
In response to Disease X, Bingham asserted, “the world will have to prepare for mass vaccination drives and deliver the doses in record time.”
She disclosed that while scientists have identified 25 virus families encompassing thousands of individual viruses, she holds the view that there are millions of viruses yet to be discovered, and these have the potential to evolve into pandemics.
In recent weeks, numerous schools in China have reported a surge of hospitalizations of children due to a mysterious pneumonia-like sickness. The symptoms exhibited by the affected individuals, including high fever and lung inflammation, are similar to those of pneumonia.
However, this illness has been characterized by the absence of common respiratory symptoms like coughing; thus leading health professionals to label it as an “undiagnosed pneumonia”.
The World Health Organization has expressed concern about this new illness and has requested information from China regarding the associated cases of respiratory diseases and clusters of pneumonia among children.
Consequently, medical experts remain perplexed with regards to categorizing and understanding this peculiar symptomatology.
How convenient. Just in time for the election.
