The Scientific Establishment Warns of “Disease X” while Downplaying Chinese Pneumonia Epidemic

"For months, the scientific medical establishment has warned of the potential of another pandemic – one much deadlier than COVID. They have taken to calling this future pandemic, Disease X.
Speaking to the Fox affiliate in Houston, Dr. Peter Hotez, warned of the dangers of Disease X, "We have a likelihood that new pandemic threats, what people are calling the Disease X, are going to be arising on a regular basis," explains Dr. Hotez and he says Disease X, the next pandemic, could hit hard whenever it arrives.

Why does he think some are predicting the next pandemic will make COVID-19 look like a walk in the park? "You know, I've written about this as well, that COVID-19 is just a warmup act. The next pandemic may not be as severe, but it could be much more severe," says Dr. Hotez, and because no one knows he says it's better to be prepared.
Bizarrely enough, while the scientific establishment warns of “Disease X” these same scientists are turning a blind eye to a pneumonia epidemic that is sweeping through China – leaving hospitals over-burdened.
Not all doctors are ignoring what is happening in China, however, Dr. Peter McCullough is paying close attention.
Writing in Dr. McCullough’s substack:
U.S. government agencies are fond of talking about “Pandemic Preparedness,” passing extravagant legislation such as the PREP ACT, and throwing hundreds of billions at the development of vaccines against viral respiratory illnesses—vaccines that are useless at best.
And yet, these agencies are, at the moment, strangely silent about a mysterious pneumonia that is affecting large numbers of children in two regions of northern China that are about 500 miles apart—Beijing and Liaoning Province. This situation reminds me of the conspicuous fact that the U.S. Consulate General office in Wuhan—which is presumably full of spooks—apparently reported NOTHING about the mysterious pneumonia that started circulating in that city in the autumn of 2019.
While the American government appears to be doing nothing, Dr. McCullough is urging Americans to be prepared.
We will be monitoring the situation in China closely, try to ascertain as quickly as possible what is causing the pneumonia.
In his position of Chief Scientific Officer for the Wellness Company, Dr. Peter McCullough is conducting investigative scholarship to ascertain what medications are the most safe and effective for conditions such as the pneumonia now circulating in northern China. Our ultimate objective is to ascertain if already available, FDA-approved medications could be useful in treating this pneumonia in the event it spreads to the United States.
Given the appalling performance of so many doctors during the COVID-19 pandemic, many of our readers may find themselves in search of a new doctor who has demonstrated greater discernment. Such readers may consider a membership with the Wellness Company, whose Virtual Care program offers prompt access to a trusted medical provider to treat your illnesses and obtain prescriptions.
The developing situation in China could be the next pandemic or it could be the next psy op or it could be nothing more than a problem for the Chinese.
Sadly, we all know the next medical crisis is just around the corner. Whether it comes in the form of a bioweapon or something much more mundane like a tick bite – you and your family need to be prepared." ZeroHedge
