The World Health Organization and the Johns Hopkins University Center for Health Security partnered with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for an event that took place in Belgium.
Participants engaged in a table-top simulation that depicted a lethal enterovirus emerging from South America in 2025, which subsequently spreads globally, resulting in millions of fatalities. The disease, part of the polio virus family, poses a significant threat to children.
The virus has been designated as SEERS – Severe Epidemic Enterovirus Respiratory Syndrome.

What is Enterovirus D68?
Enteroviruses are a large family of viruses that can cause a variety of illnesses, ranging from the common cold to more severe conditions like meningitis. EV-D68 is one particular strain that gained widespread attention during the 2014 outbreak in the United States. Unlike most enteroviruses, which primarily cause gastrointestinal issues, EV-D68 primarily affects the respiratory system.
A Serious Complication: Acute Flaccid Myelitis (AFM)
One of the most concerning aspects of EV-D68 is its association with a rare neurological condition called Acute Flaccid Myelitis (AFM). AFM causes sudden weakness in the limbs and can lead to paralysis. While not every case of EV-D68 leads to AFM, the link between the two has raised significant concerns, particularly in children.
What Causes Some People to Believe Vaccines Are Linked to Acute Flaccid Myelitis (AFM)?
According to Pfizer’s records, there are significant concerns regarding severe health conditions resulting from the vaccine, including meningitis, gastrointestinal complications, and respiratory ailments.
