(End of the American Dream)—Should all of this talk about “Disease X” alarm us? According to the WHO, “Disease X” is an “unknown” hypothetical disease that could potentially kill millions upon millions of people. It is supposed to be a purely theoretical disease, but by giving it a name they are basically inviting people to come up with all sorts of theories about it. And that is especially true now that experts have speculated that it could cause 20 times more deaths than COVID did…
Health leaders are meeting at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos on Wednesday to discuss ways to prepare for ‘Disease X’ – a term coined by the World Health Organisation (WHO) in 2018 to describe the unknown, hypothetical pathogen that could cause the next pandemic.
According to some experts, Disease X could result in 20 times more fatalities than the coronavirus pandemic.
It’s on the WHO’s shortlist of priority diseases, alongside viruses like SARS, Ebola and Zika.
The WEF is certainly contributing to the hype around this hypothetical disease.
On Wednesday, there will be an entire session at the WEF’s yearly gathering that has been entitled “Preparing for Disease X”, and the description for that session ominously declares that “‘Disease X’ could result in 20 times more fatalities than the coronavirus pandemic”…
The 2024 program is one for the ages. Attendees will watch Pfizer’s Albert Bourla and Open AI’s Sam Altman talk about Artificial Intelligence (AI). They’ll see depopulation advocate Bill “Bugman” Gates advancing the climate hoax. John Kerry will appear on four different stages to discuss the “energy transition.” We will also see Klaus Schwab sit down for a 1 on 1 with the second highest ranking Chinese government official.
But one panel in particular sticks out: Preparing for Disease X. The topic is both incredibly vague and incredibly disturbing.
The description for the discussion reads: “With fresh warnings from the World Health Organization that an unknown ‘Disease X’ could result in 20 times more fatalities than the coronavirus pandemic, what novel efforts are needed to prepare healthcare systems for the multiple challenges ahead?”
Why give such a specific number?
I don’t think that is helpful at all.
Are they trying to cause panic?
The list of speakers that are scheduled for this session includes the Director-General of the WHO…
- Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General, WHO
- Shyam Bishen, Head, Centre for Health and Healthcare; WEF Geneva
- Roy Jakobs, President and Chief Executive Officer, Royal Philips
- Preetha Reddy, Executive Vice-Chairperson, Apollo Hospitals Enterprise Ltd
- Nisia Trindade Lima, Minister of Health, Ministry of Health of Brazil
- Michel Demaré, Chair of the Board, AstraZeneca Plc
Without a doubt, more global pandemics are coming.
This is something that I have been relentlessly warning my readers about.
But to give an “unknown” disease a specific name and to throw out numbers for potential death rates is only going to fuel unhealthy speculation.
Of course it isn’t just the WHO and the WEF that are doing this.
In June of last year, a bill known as the Disease X Act of 2023 was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives.
And it is being reported that a facility that has just been built in the UK will actually be performing “vaccine research” for Disease X…
A new facility has been constructed in the UK that will conduct vaccine research for an unknown pathogen dubbed by the World Economic Forum (WHO) as “Disease X.”
The new facility is located at the secretive Porten Down science and technology campus in Wiltshire, England, which is best known for chemical and biological warfare research.
Experts at this facility are “preparing” for the emergence of a new “Disease X” virus, the BBC reported in August.
I have no idea how they can conduct “research” on an entirely “unknown” disease, but apparently that is what they intend to do.
Instead of chasing ghosts, perhaps our leaders could focus on fixing what is already broken.
According to one recent study, almost one out of every five hospital deaths in the United States is caused by doctor error…
Nearly one in five US hospital deaths are caused by misdiagnoses, research shows.
A study published last month in the journal JAMA examined 2019 medical records from nearly 2,500 patients in 29 different American hospitals.
All of the patients were transported to the intensive care unit (ICU), died while hospitalized, or both.
Let me give you another example. The makers of Ozempic are being sued by dozens of people including one woman “who will suffer diarrhea for the rest of her life”…
A woman who will suffer diarrhea for the rest of her life after using Ozempic is among dozens of patients who are suing the maker of the blockbuster weight loss drug over claims it left them with crippling stomach paralysis, a DailyMail.com investigation reveals.
Novo Nordisk, the maker of Ozempic and Wegovy, is facing lawsuits from patients across America who say they experienced extreme side effects which they were allegedly not warned about.
Another woman literally vomited until her teeth fell out.
We have very real problems that health officials could be focusing on. And we have very real diseases which have been spreading all over the country in recent months.
But instead of addressing our pressing needs, many health officials would like us to look forward to a “Disease X” which may or may not materialize. Why?
Once again, I certainly believe that we are living during a time when great pestilences will be very common. But I think that it would be wise to wait until they actually appear to give them names, and the sort of speculation that the WHO and the WEF are engaging in is not helpful at all.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
