'Disease X': UK scientists begin developing vaccines against new pandemic
The work is being carried out at the government's high-security Porton Down laboratory complex in Wiltshire.
Professor Dame Jenny Harries, the head of the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), told Sky News: "What we're trying to do here is ensure that we prepare so that if we have a new Disease X, a new pathogen, we have done as much of that work in advance as possible.
"Hopefully we can prevent it [a pandemic]. But if we can't and we have to respond, then we have already started developing vaccines and therapeutics to crack it."

Quite a few hares running around there, especially as it seems to be ramping up work already done at Porton Down.
One conclusion we may draw from past experience is that mainstream media will merely pass on a shouty version of official narratives. A related conclusion is that those narratives will be misleading. They will not reflect a diverse range of scientific opinion, opinion which will be safely hidden away in Porton Down.
Apart from that, we may assume pandemics are to be a longer term bogey to scare and manipulate people. There are some obvious warfare, terrorist and bungled gain of function implications, but assessing those via the media and official sources won't be easy.
It's quite a conspiratorial stretch this one, but it is just possible that naming the thing as 'Disease X' was seen as a way to smear Twitter, or X as Elon Musk now calls it.

..."Then the Government will hand the entire process over to Neil Ferguson and a bunch of their University chums who can make some money out of it..."
X marks the spot. Does that mean the the new infection will have us covered in spots?
More than anything, this will get full msm attention so that the scruff will remain aware of the fantastical scaremongering. Then, when the PTB want to ramp it up to suit their own agenda/pension fund, it will take a minimum of effort to do so.
Sam - and maybe Ferguson already has a model prepared to give a range of horrific numbers to wave around to justify more restrictions. They won't affect his private life of course.
dearieme - not really, the story just reminded me of pirates and treasure maps.
Jannie - yes, it's there in case Net Zero doesn't persuade enough people to give up their freedoms. Not that there is much left to give up.
When the next 'pandemic' is here, Kneeler, Crayons and Abbott will be 'running' the country, so buy your loo rolls now folks!
Scrobs - strewth that's scary. Bound to be more than loo rolls too.
