Bio-data
Yes, normal vanity, greed, power hungriness motivates our celebrity scientists - but there’s also an ideological overlap with the CCP: they both love centralized, personalized bio-data.
They’ve seen the future (on our behalves) - this is what we need to keep us safe. We warned you about Covid - now we need to prepare for the Next Disease X (Spoiler: For the record: Ebright & Hobson, were warning-like-crazy, way before Dazza, that the Anthrax-funded GoF-craze was gonna lead to a pandemic.)
As Daszak/One Health says, common logic and reason tells you this approach will: save untold millions of lives.
Which is precisely where empiricism
- the science -
becomes illogical. This is why:
Global amassment of personalized bio/health-data, including DNA, opens the door to political abuse. That’s humans for you. Like it or not - it’s
- part of the equation -
It will affect the outcome.
But there’s no evidence for that!
Sure there is. Easy to find. Search the words genomic surveillance Uyghurs - see how you go … (or keep reading - we’ll delve into that later…)
Yeah - but - we’re taking the politics out!
Even if you were, which you’re not, that’s an admission you’re ignoring an integral piece of the puzzle.
Politics is involved in global biosurveillance.
If you’re weighing the long term effects - not taking this into account - then:
stand-down
You're proceeding from an illogical premise - thereby - making a horrible mistake with catastrophic humanity-shaping consequences… (!)
The One Health Initiative is a good case-study:
One Health Initiative website: In April 2006, Dr. Laura H. Kahn [MD, MPH, MPP] published the CDC article, ‘Confronting Zoonoses, Linking Human and Veterinary Medicine’ https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/12/4/05-0956_article which prompted Dr. Bruce Kaplan [DVM] to contact her. Together they started the One Health Initiative team, and Dr. Thomas P. Monath [MD] joined them in March of 2007 to establish the OHI triumvirate The One Health Initiative: Team Aims and Activities | Duke One Health. (Duke - remember that name)
Princeton: (Laura Kahn) published Who’s in Charge? Leadership during epidemics, bioterror attacks, and other public health crises in 2009 with Praeger Security International. (terrorism security company) (haven’t read it - probably interesting though)
One Health Initiative website: (worth clicking on for retro-value) The One Health Concept is .. a worldwide strategy for expanding interdisciplinary collaborations .. in health care for humans, animals and the environment.
The synergism achieved will advance health care for the 21st century and beyond by accelerating biomedical research discoveries.. (and) expeditiously expanding the scientific knowledge base .. (which will) save untold millions of lives in our present and future generations.
Great. Unless Covid was a lab-leak. In which case the: world-wide synergism of accelerated biomedical research collaborations and expeditious expanding
- cost -
untold millions of lives in our present and future generations.
But let’s not pre-judge. Let's take a closer look at a One Health Initiative scheme in action before we reach any conclusions.
