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 scientists/CCP-thought align. Ethics is placed on extended leave. Championing this bio-data grab are three pro-CCP co-authors from the notorious Proximal Origin paper.
Andersen, Holmes, Rambaut (2018): 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 WHO/One Health/EcoHealth Alliance/NIH, 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 in terms of how to stop this global catastrophe unfolding - was not the Global One Health lot - it was Taiwan. But you expelled them from school.
Then provided advice that caused Covid to spread globally.
A year later, a WHO investigation (including One Health Editorial Board members Daszak & Koopmans), proudly vetted by the CCP, announced a lab-leak was extremely unlikely.
So not real big on truth and integrity inside these Global Health Cohorts are we?
Andersen/Holmes/Rambaut (2016): Given the development of portable sequencing technologies, real-time viral genome sequencing is now possible in clinics and diagnostic laboratories, including in resource-limited settings. .. The need for immediate analysis and the growth of open sharing of sequence data means the challenge in genomic studies may be moving from data acquisition to analysis and interpretation.
Ok, so now that we've got it - the challenge is to how to wield it.
Andersen, Holmes, Rambaut-18): 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.
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-18: 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 a frontier hub of DNA gathering activity due to corrupt/compliant/enthusiastic governments, a "host of VIP's", and a centralized western 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.
