Future generations may not forgive the World Health Organization’s member nations, should they fail to agree on a pandemic treaty, the organization’s chief said Saturday at the Warwick Economic Summit, calling the agreement “mission critical for humanity.”
Despite lessons that should have been learned during COVID-19, the world is unprepared for the next pandemic, be it an influenza virus, another coronavirus, or “Disease X”—a term the organization has used since 2018 to refer to a yet-unknown pandemic pathogen, Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said, speaking virtually from Geneva at the summit, held in Coventry, England.
Oh watching COVID kill your parents or friends because some plague rat coughed on them is going to motivate a lot of people. I know just seeing it happen on the news motivated me. I’m still wanting payback over the deaths of 1 million of my fellow citizens, far too many of which were fellow African Americans.
What kills me is if we’re going this whole “global coordination” way then why the fuck aren’t we discussing making those wet markets that basically breed these viruses illegal?
Sanction any nation that doesn’t properly regulate those markets so we don’t have bats shitting on monkeys that are pissing on hamsters that someone is going to eat in China or wherever…
