Former UK Scientific Advisor: Another Pandemic 'Absolutely Inevitable'

Facts

Former UK chief scientific adviser Sir Patrick Vallance has warned that another pandemic is 'absolutely inevitable' and called for preparing for future pandemics to be treated like potential wars.¹
Furthermore, he said Britain isn't prepared for another pandemic, alleging that the G7 countries have forgotten the importance of 'continual government focus and attention.'²
However, Sir Patrick said he was optimistic about the Pandemic Preparedness Treaty, which aims to develop pandemic-fighting tools within 100 days.²
This comes as negotiators from the World Health Organization's (WHO) member states failed to reach a consensus to adopt a global pandemic treaty in time for the two-year deadline that expired Friday.³
The sticking points were reportedly related to access to life-saving drugs and vaccines, including what percentage should be guaranteed for free or at non-profit prices.⁴
Last month, the Biden administration announced its Global Health Security Strategy to help 50 nations — most from Africa and Asia — identify and respond to infectious diseases and stifle future pandemics.⁵

Pro-establishment narrative, as provided by Nature. The next pandemic is merely a question of when — rather than if — and the world must be ready because human timetables will be worthless. That's why a global pandemic treaty has to be in place as soon as possible to improve preparedness and response to such an event and ensure a safer future for humankind.
Establishment-critical narrative, as provided by American Conservative. Even before the once-in-a-generation coronavirus pandemic ended, the media and WHO were looking for a new worldwide health emergency, so warnings about the next pandemic are nothing but new. Adopting a treaty would effectively create a large pandemic industry and allow personal freedoms to be restricted again.
