GIDeoN - W. Ian Lipkin 

A thread amongst our pro-CCP Celebrity Scientists is the One Planet-One Health global bio-data-base evangelism.

For example, every chance Lipkin got in the crucial, embryonic Covid period - and he got a lot - he preached GIDEON, a One Health initiative.

Lipkin: Every chance I get, I preach this - what we need is an international surveillance system, this is the future for us - (31:40) this is what will keep us secure on the planet - this is what we need.

An international surveillance security system? Sounds a bit creepy, Ian.

Lipkin: This program is called GIDEON - ...(31:55) - .. it’s an international integrated network where people share data and care for one another - to try to protect the world.

Ohr, so sweet.

Lipkin: It ensures that everybody employs a common database 1:06:05 and uploads their data so everybody can see it.

Uhmm … so a global health data-base where everybody can see it? Or you mean everybody who's anybody? Like your good self?

Private medical data is sensitive stuff to be sharing, Ian. You want to upload a whole globe’s worth onto one database? What about all the cyber-hacking of medical data? 

Out of curiosity, who are these more everybody than normal bodies  in charge of surveilling/securing the planet again?

Lipkin (16:44): Lu Jia-hai, who's a professor at Sun Yat-sen University .. runs a large One Health program - it’s been funded for about 6 months by the Chinese Government, but doesn’t really have any support in the US. It’s called GIDEON - Global Infectious Disease Epidemiology Network. .. This is the future(31:40) - this is what we need.

Update: GIDEON (a play on the heroic Israelite, Gideon, from the bible?) is a One Health.. international surveillance system - to keep us secure on the planet - funded by the Chinese Government.

Is that the same Chinese Government already using western bio-surveillance tech to oppress the Uyghurs, Tibetans and Hong Kongers and threaten Taiwan? Or the one that was transparent in sharing that this was a serious threat globally? (19:05)

So as a cure for a disease potentially caused by scientists - you're suggesting a temporary abrogation of privacy rights/freedoms of the globe? to get us out of this mess? Or is it a more of a Dan Andrews-style permanent Covid-normal? 

Lipkin,  GIDEoN Conf, 101:03: There will be more of these - there’s no question - .. what we need to do to survive as a species is - as humans - is to create an integrated network that allows us to detect these (Covid-style events) early and to respond to them as a world.

So scientists detected Covid early - can’t get earlier than causing it - or is it more about responding as a world?

Couldn’t we simply stop scientists playing GoF?
