Specifically, Regeneron has been working with Sanofi to develop and market the drug Dupixent (dupilumab) for various conditions, including COPD, and Dupixent has been approved for use in China for this purpose.

Don’t worry about any DNA you might have sent to 23, its safely stored where it was tested and analysised - in PLA vaults in China

No problem. Big pharma has proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that they can be trusted. I mean, what harm could they possibly do with the DNA of millions of people? I mean, aside from custom-designing viruses to kill one specific person, cloning people without their consent, or a billion other nefarious prospects. But other than that?

And they are likely working with the PLA on the next Super-Weapon toward which the Chinese spend billions every year to develop: a genetic virus that targets everyone except Han Chinese, with the aim of getting rid of the inferior races.

Hard for me to feel sorry for anyone on this. Repeatedly, shouting in the wilderness only to be ignored.

Yep, was never tempted to do this DNA “investigation.” I knew my parents and grandparents. They knew there grandparents. Whatever happened many moons ago does not change much.

My first blessing was to be born in the Greatest Nation On God’s Green Earth. My six brothers and sisters and I did not have much growing up, but we had each other.

The DNA I inherited allowed me to work and pay for school. After many years of practice, I reached 100 miles a day on my bicycle. Saved up money and went to the school in Spain.

Whatever, whoever my ancestors were and did to eventually reach America - God bless them!

What’s you point in comparing legitimate businesses with cocaine dealers?

To address the privacy concerns surrounding the acquisition.

I often wondered if my blood tests the doctor asks for end up there.

4 tubes seems like a lot to me for their need of a test?.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ ?.

If I ever invested in a pharmaceutical company, it would be one that has made a breakthrough in anti-paranoia meds.
