Andersen, Holmes, Rambaut
When One Healthers talk about amassing the planet’s bio-data on a centralized system, the jewel in the crown is genomic surveillance capability. In plain terms: they’re coming for your DNA.
This is the meeting of minds - where scientist/CCP-thought aligns. Ethics is placed on extended leave. Championing this bio-data amassment are three CCP-friendly co-authors from the notorious Proximal Origin paper.
Andersen, Holmes, Rambaut: We urge those working on infectious disease to focus funds and efforts on a much simpler and more cost-effective way to mitigate outbreaks — proactive, real-time surveillance of human populations. This will best be achieved through an established global network .. such as the WHO.
Remember this is the same such as the WHO/One Health/EcoHealth Alliance/NIH-type established global network who, in the critical early days, told us:
- There is no evidence of human-to-human transition.
- Covid is not an international emergency.
- Don’t close the borders with China.
- Don’t wear masks.
- China’s commitment to transparency is .. impressive, and beyond words.
At the same time shutting down crucial advice from Taiwan, which i’d list, though it’s simpler to: re-read the above - make it the exact opposite.
Such a pity the world didn't follow Taiwan's advice: Covid would have been stamped out by the 29th of April, 2020. But the Taiwan silo wasn't absorbed into the One Health Concept - why? - coz WHO banned them from giving input.
The best kid in the class - was none of the Global One Health lot - it was Taiwan. But you expelled them from school.
Then promoted advice that caused Covid to spread globally.
A year later, a WHO investigation (including One Health Editorial Board members Daszak & Koopmans), vetted by the CCP, announced a lab-leak was extremely unlikely.
So forgive me, i'm having a few trust issues. Firstly ...
Andersen, Holmes, Rambaut: Second, ethical, rigorous and standardized protocols for the collection of samples and data from patients should be established (by) .. a global consortium involving the ministries of engaged countries to facilitate the generation and sharing of that information.
Lot of nice words. The CCP ministries - yeah they're known for rigorous standardized protocols. But Ethical ones…?
Uyghur DNA collecting study: The national physical examination (NPE) is a free physical examination provided by the Chinese government for all Xinjiang people. .. The data came from the physical examination data of Urumqi in 2018. .. This study was performed in accordance with the principles outlined in the Declaration of Helsinki and approved by the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region CDC ethical committee.
That’d be fine, right? They're using the Helsinki principles - with an autonomous ethical committee ...
Andersen, Holmes, Rambaut: A helpful analogue is the approach used by the Human Heredity and Health in Africa (H3Africa) Initiative, which .. has used standard consent-form guidelines (the Helsinki ones?) for collecting DNA samples from subjects.
As a potential subject, glad you guys brought that up. African countries (along with China) have become frontier hubs of western/sino DNA gathering (& GoF activity) due to corrupt/compliant/enthusiastic governments, a "host of VIP's", and a centralized media that knows how to butter bread. It's open-slather. Without restraint. That’s Kurtz territory.
Let’s take a closer look at what goes on there.
