Anthony Fauci has been managing the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for 36 years. He is one of the best infectious disease experts in his country. No wonder it “predicted” the current COVID-19 pandemic.
- Anthony Fauci in June 2019 described a potential pandemic that the world could contend with and that will put a heavy burden on health systems
- At this year’s Future of Healthcare Fauci, he said he was sorry to “foresee” the pandemic
- Not only Fauci, but also WHO and Bill Gates warned of the emergence of a new, unknown disease that could have pandemic potential
Anthony Fauci “predicted” the COVID-19 pandemic
In June 2019, during the first edition of Future of Healthcare, in an interview with Steve Clemons from The Hill, Fauci was asked about the worst-case scenario regarding public health. He said at the time that he was imagining an infectious disease that affects the respiratory system and spreads rapidly. It is new, therefore we do not have population immunity.
“It almost always turns out to be a brand new pandemic flu,” said Fauci. He added that he was worried because respiratory diseases, which spread easily and have a high incidence rate and a higher than usual mortality rate, put a heavy burden on public health.

One year later, as we read these words, one cannot help but get the impression that Fauci predicted the COVID-19 pandemic – he assumed a new flu strain would emerge, but a new coronavirus was discovered instead. «I’m so sorry about that prophesying in the last interview, Steve. I am really sorry »- said Fauci during this year’s edition of Future of Healthcare.

Not only Fauci “predicted” the epidemic
The World Health Organization has developed a special tool that defines which pathogens and diseases should be prioritized in public health research and development. In addition to the known pathogens, disease X also appeared on the list, which, according to WHO specialists, may appear at any time. Until now, disease X was only a body of knowledge that a serious pandemic could be caused by a currently unknown pathogen.
Is the COVID-19 pandemic an announced disease X by the WHO? Dr. Marion Koopmans, virologist and expert of the World Health Organization, wrote in The Cell journal that “whether the epidemic can be contained or not, the coronavirus fits the first real pandemic challenge, disease X, listed WHO priority diseases for which we must prepare in our current globalized society ».
Not only Fauci and the WHO “predicted” the impending pandemic. Bill Gates also said that the world should be prepared for outbreaks of unknown disease as it prepares for potential wars. Despite the warnings, the United States has reduced its capacity to respond to a potential pandemic on many levels over the past 10 years.
Many experts emphasize that the United States lacks a well-coordinated disease monitoring system, and that is one of the main reasons why the COVID-19 pandemic has hit the country so hard.
