Disease Itself Won’t Be the Real ‘Weapon’ in Next Pandemic: Dr. Richard Urso

This week global leaders met at the World Economic Forum to discuss “Disease X,” a hypothetical pathogen that could usher in a new—and deadlier—pandemic.

But to disease experts like Dr. Richard Urso, it’s nothing novel.

“I’m not really that worried,” he told Frontline Health.

“It literally took me two hours to figure [COVID-19] out…If they make something really deadly, it won’t spread that easily,” he said. Urso alluded to the possibility that the next deadly pathogen may likely originate from a lab rather than nature.

“At the end of the day, the disease itself won’t be the real weapon. It’ll be the vaccine,” he said.

Urso is a drug design and treatment specialist, an ophthalmologist, and former chief of orbital oncology at MD Anderson Cancer Center.
