WHO Ran Full Scale ‘Simulation’ Of The ‘Next Pandemic’ Involving 31 Governments

At the end of last year the World Health Organization”quietly coordinated a large-scale pandemic simulation”

In December 2025, 31 countries and areas across the Western pacific region took part in the simulation which WHO described as “getting ready for the next pandemic,” according to White House correspondent Natalie Winters.

Winters said “That phrase was not commentary. It was the official title and purpose of the exercise”.

World Net Daily reports: The WHO publicized the exercise on Facebook, saying: “Getting ready for the next pandemic! 31 countries and areas from across the Western Pacific participated in IHR Exercise Crystal to test their readiness for future #HealthEmergencies.

“Simulations offer a much-needed opportunity to evaluate, refine and iron out coordination challenges and practice teamwork before a real crisis hits.”

Winters says the event took place over several weeks in December and “simulated the emergence of a novel respiratory illness with the potential for international spread. Participating governments were not asked to discuss theory. They were asked to respond in real time to alerts, verify information, conduct risk assessments, and coordinate actions across agencies.”

The description proffered by the WHO stressed CRYSTAL was planned to examine how nations would operate during an emerging outbreak, not afterward.

Officials highlighted “real-time information sharing,” “multisectoral coordination,” and decision-making under pressure.

“The framing is notable,” said Winters. “WHO did not describe the drill as preparation for a hypothetical scenario. It repeatedly referred to readiness for ‘the next pandemic.'”

“This wasn’t some tabletop drill. It lasted weeks, triggered real-world airport and border systems, and modeled a fast-moving respiratory outbreak with global reach,” opined Vigilant Fox on X.

“Think this is over? It’s not. They’re already rehearsing the sequel.”
