We must remain vigilant about current diseases, but an even greater danger lies in fixating on the last pandemic when preparing for future threats. Emerging infections can arise from various sources, and we are still susceptible to the intentional spread of diseases by those who seek to cause harm. Our global community faces numerous potential health threats.

Vaccines are often seen as a solution, but expectations may be too high. Initially, a vaccine was touted as providing lifetime immunity, but that may not be realistic. Over time, efficacy rates have dropped significantly, with reports showing effectiveness decreasing from 95% to as low as 33%. Immunity may last only a few months, requiring regular boosters, similar to the flu vaccine. The focus may shift to annual shots rather than a one-time solution. As companies work on combining COVID and flu vaccines, the reality is that COVID is likely here to stay, and ongoing adjustments will be necessary.

The summer is not over yet, and Corona is making a comeback. Some are warning, while others are already calling for masks and old measures. Have we really learned so little from the past years? The virus has lost its terror, as almost everyone has had contact with SARS-CoV-2. The pandemic is officially over, and most people have developed immunity. However, Corona was never gone and will never disappear. Critical experts advise us to remain calm, as Corona is now just a normal illness. It's always there, less in summer and more in winter, like other respiratory diseases. There's no need to panic. Those who are already warning and demanding old measures either haven't understood or don't want to understand. Perhaps it's because a comprehensive evaluation never took place. We need to know what was good, bad, unnecessary, and harmful before repeating old mistakes and spreading fear again.

Now that we're coming out of the pandemic, the issue of variants will mainly be discussed by specialists. They will talk about the impact of these variants in conferences. Currently, the planned vaccination covers all variants. And does vaccination limit the emergence of new variants? Absolutely, by reducing the number of affected individuals. It decreases the portion of the population where the virus can multiply and mutate, thus leading to new variants. So, vaccination is absolutely essential to control the situation.

"There's the transformative, if I might use that word, experience that we've all had now in year five of COVID." The speaker says, "The thought that we won't have another pandemic, I think is naive at best and just not completely unrealistic at worst." They add, "I'm convinced that there will be another pandemic and that's the reason why we have to be perpetually prepared to prevent the terrible impact of a pandemic."

In recent years, global mortality rates have been lower compared to the past 50 years, with a spike in 2018 due to new vaccines. Despite claims of a deadly pandemic, mortality rates have remained lower than in 1952. People were getting sick, but not dying at alarming rates. This raises questions about the severity of the pandemic.

There will be another pandemic; it's just a matter of time. The annual risk is around 2% to 3%, and we must prepare for future outbreaks, including unexpected ones, often referred to as "black swans." The work we do now is crucial for readiness, as we will inevitably face new challenges and different types of viruses. It's essential to acknowledge that surprises will arise, and we need to be equipped to handle them.

Vaccinated individuals are still at risk of getting COVID, but may have milder symptoms. Vaccines were introduced late in the pandemic, and early treatment and natural immunity were key in saving lives. There is controversy over vaccine safety, with reports of deaths following vaccination. Some studies suggest vaccinated individuals are at higher risk of severe outcomes. Calls have been made to remove vaccines from the market due to safety concerns. Translation: Vaccinated people can still get COVID, but may have less severe symptoms. Early treatment and natural immunity were important in saving lives. There are concerns about vaccine safety, with reports of deaths after vaccination. Some studies indicate vaccinated people may be at higher risk of severe outcomes. There are calls to remove vaccines from the market due to safety concerns.

The UN General Assembly adopted a declaration on pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted societies and economies, exposed political fault lines, and eroded trust. Misinformation and inequality worsened the impact on vulnerable communities. A new pandemic accord and amendments to international health regulations are being negotiated by WHO member states to strengthen the global response. National ratification and accountable implementation are crucial to avoid repeating past mistakes. We must not return to a cycle of panic and neglect. Together, we are stronger.

We must remain vigilant about current diseases, but an even greater danger is focusing too much on the last pandemic when preparing for future threats. Emerging infections can arise from various sources, and we are still vulnerable to intentional spread by those seeking to cause harm. Our global community's health faces numerous potential threats. It's crucial to consider a wide range of possibilities to effectively safeguard public health.

The massive vaccination of the population likely led to the current situation. The virus has become less virulent, but the vaccine does not provide complete immunity. It protects individuals but does not directly protect the community. However, it indirectly helps protect the community. There is controversy surrounding whether the vaccine prevents transmission, but it is known to prevent severe symptoms in individuals. The vaccine allows individuals to develop a functional immune memory that helps avoid severe forms of the disease.

The chance of anyone watching this video dying from coronavirus is low. Even without a vaccine, many people will not get the virus. Some who do get it have no symptoms, while others have mild or moderate symptoms and recover fully. Only a minority need to go to the hospital, and most of them just require oxygen and survive. A small number have severe disease and may die, but it's important to note that the majority of people who get infected do not die, even in the high-risk group.

The situation has been horrific, leading to a shift in research and development budgets. Current vaccines primarily focus on improving individual health but only slightly reduce transmission. There is a need for a new approach to vaccine development that effectively blocks transmission.

According to the CDC, vaccinated individuals don't carry or get sick from the virus, both in clinical trials and real-world data. However, reports from international colleagues, like Israel, indicate a higher risk of severe disease among those vaccinated early. This evidence raises concerns that the strong protection against severe infection, hospitalization, and death could decrease in the future, particularly for those at higher risk or vaccinated earlier during the rollout phases.

The UN general assembly adopted a declaration on pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted societies and economies, exposed political fault lines, eroded trust, and highlighted inequalities. The next pandemic is inevitable, so WHO member states are negotiating a new pandemic accord and amendments to strengthen the global response. National ratification and accountable implementation are crucial to avoid repeating past mistakes. We must not return to the cycle of panic and neglect. Our world needs to be stronger for future generations.

A public health emergency of international concern is an extraordinary event that poses a public health risk to other countries through the international spread of disease, potentially requiring a coordinated global response. It's serious, sudden, unusual, unexpected, and has implications beyond a single nation's borders, possibly needing immediate international action. A pandemic is when a new virus affects the world's population. Declaring a public health emergency of international concern is the highest alarm level by the World Health Organization, meant to coordinate immediate action before an event escalates into a pandemic. In the case of COVID-19, we faced both a public health emergency of international concern and a pandemic.

In 2021, the goal is to manufacture a lot of vaccines to stop transmission and increase immunity levels. Vaccinated people do not carry or get sick from the virus, and the vaccines prevent the virus from spreading further. Fully vaccinated individuals have a very low risk of getting COVID-19 and no longer need to wear masks. It is important for people to take the vaccine to protect themselves, their families, and break the chain of transmission. With about 50% of adults fully vaccinated and 62% having received at least one dose, surges in cases are not expected. Vaccinated individuals will not be hospitalized, in ICU, or die from COVID-19.

More than five years into the COVID-19 crisis, a paper by Holzsher and colleagues in *Science, Public Health Policy and the Law* makes a broad call to remove all COVID-19 vaccines from the market. The paper cites international groups making that call, including lawmakers, and summarizes peer-reviewed scientific manuscripts that concluded the risks far outweigh the benefits. In the last few weeks, the US CDC dropped its universal recommendation for COVID-19 vaccination across all groups. The transcript states that public health agencies are “quietly backing away” from COVID-19 vaccination. The group described in the transcript is unified in calling for all vaccines to be removed from the market, particularly messenger RNA vaccines. It calls for a moratorium on the entire platform, including the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, and also including the Moderna respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine. The transcript further states that “messenger RNA vaccines have no ability to shut off production of the antibody.”

In the last few weeks, the US CDC dropped its universal recommendation for COVID-19 vaccination across all groups, and the transcript describes public health agencies as “quietly backing away” from COVID-19 vaccination. The group presenting these points is unified in calling for all vaccines to be removed from the market, with particular emphasis on messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines. They call for a moratorium on the entire platform, including Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, and also including the Moderna respiratory syncytial virus vaccine. The transcript states that mRNA vaccines have “no ability to shut off production of the antibody.”

The United Kingdom is about to enact another event two zero one kind of exercise, a tabletop exercise. This tabletop exercise in The UK will involve 4,000 people, and they will run it around the country in September about a respiratory pandemic. So we are not out of the woods. COVID is still with us. And if we don't do something now while we can, I genuinely think it's rational to believe that this scam will be run again, and it will have further harms? And it would be slightly different. Maybe it's it's a different type of emergency, but I think it it we're not we're not done here if we want to protect ourselves in the future.

Locking down entire populations and shutting down the economy were extreme measures taken to combat the pandemic. However, thanks to globalization, vaccines were developed in a record time of 9 months, compared to the usual 5 years. It is crucial to vaccinate globally to prevent the return of the virus in the form of new variants and increased contagion. Failure to do so will have negative consequences for us. Vaccination is not only important for recovery but also for anticipating future challenges.

The end of COVID-19 as a global health emergency doesn't mean it's no longer a threat. The Global Strategic Preparedness and Response Plan for COVID-19 emphasizes the need for action in five core areas. We still face the risk of new variants causing more disease and death, as well as the potential emergence of deadlier pathogens. We can't ignore these challenges. We must make necessary changes now to be prepared for the next pandemic. The Pandemic Accord is a commitment to international cooperation and a shared response to future threats. It's a generational agreement that aims to prevent panic and neglect, ensuring a more resilient world.
