The CDC on Wednesday casually admitted some of the Covid nose swabs ended up in a lab for genomic sequencing analysis.

But don’t worry because only the virus will be used for the genomic sequencing analysis, the CDC said.

Is this true for the 15 minute IgG IgM antibody tests done at Kroger’s pharmacy?

Those involve a finger-stick drop of blood put in a little plastic indicator tray.

That only proves Biden is stupid.
CDC and WHO have nothing to do with border security.

“Chinese Military-Linked Firm Gathers American DNA, Provides COVID Tests”

“...China is “developing the world’s largest bio database,” said Edward You, who is the U.S. national counterintelligence officer for Emerging and Disruptive Technologies. “Once they have access to your genetic data, it’s not something you can change like a pin code.”

Racing to dominate the bioeconomy, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is compiling a massive database of medical, health, and genetic information from people around the world, including Americans.

The CCP enlists the help of private companies to aid in gathering genetic data, which can be combined with top military supercomputing capabilities, to discover genetic weaknesses in a population. Bioweapons can then be developed, which prey on these weaknesses. As part of Beijing’s military-civil fusion policy, Chinese scientists, along with the military, have been conducting research in the areas of brain science, gene editing, and the creation of artificial genomes.

Similar research could be used to enhance the performance of Chinese soldiers. BGI Group, formerly Beijing Genomics Institute, is the leader of the CCP’s genome project, as well as one of the leading producers of COVID-19 tests. BGI also has ties to China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA), according to a Jan. 30 report by Reuters.

BGI operates the largest pig cloning project in the world. After manipulating generations of pig DNA, intentionally producing pigs that are smaller or larger, more susceptible to certain diseases, or less susceptible to others, the CCP is zeroing in on the ability to produce “super soldiers.” Among the projects currently underway is BGI’s attempt to make China’s Han ethnic soldiers less susceptible to altitude sickness.

BGI’s current chief infectious disease scientist, Chen Weijun, was among the first scientists to sequence COVID-19, taking samples from a military hospital in Wuhan. He is also credited with the patent on the BGI test kits, which have been distributed around the world, including in the United States. Four of BGI’s researchers have been affiliated with the National University of Defence Technology (NUDT), under China’s Central Military Commission, which is headed by Chinese leader Xi Jinping. The NUDT has been blacklisted by the United States as a threat to national security.

Under Xi, private technology companies have been increasingly integrated into military-related research. In 2021, BGI offered to set up COVID test centers in the United States. But U.S. security officials warned that test centers would allow China to gain access to American DNA, as the swabs have genetic material on them. According to Mike Orlando, the head of the National Counterintelligence and Security Center, no U.S. states agreed, but at least 18 other countries allowed BGI to establish test centers. Additionally, BGI test kits were sent to 180 nations.

Chinese medical testing companies regularly use DNA collected from test subjects for other research. Human rights groups say the CCP is using the data for security purposes such as identifying and tracking Uyghur Muslims. Furthermore, Chinese police are trying to amass samples of DNA from the country’s 700 million males, to keep track of future criminals.

Home ancestry tests are another way that the Chinese regime is obtaining DNA from Americans. The U.S. military has warned soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines to avoid companies such as Ancestry and 23andMe, which have ties to China. An estimated 50 million Americans have already paid to have their saliva tested for their DNA ancestry, according to Bill Evanina, former director of the U.S. National Counterintelligence and Security Center.

Chinese firm WuXi Biologics bought a Pfizer manufacturing plant in China, and established a production facility in Massachusetts. In 2015, the firm also bought a stake in 23andMe. WuXi Biologics now has locations in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and New Jersey, as well as a drug plant in Delaware, which was built with a state grant.

BGI Group earns part of its revenue by selling genetic sequencing services to universities and health systems around the world. The company has also been purchasing U.S. genomics firms since 2013, and now has multiple partnerships with U.S. companies involved in gene sequencing. In each of these arrangements, BGI gains access to genetic data. Under China’s National Intelligence Law, all data obtained by Chinese companies, even abroad, must be turned over to the CCP, upon request.

The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) warned that Chinese firms invest in U.S. companies in the hopes of gaining access to U.S. data. Last year, CFIUS blocked a Chinese firm from purchasing a California fertility clinic, which was located in close proximity to six U.S. military bases. The concern was that not only would the CCP gain access to the genetic data of U.S. soldiers, but also of their unborn children.

In spite of the obvious dangers, this year, the Biden administration signed a $1.3 billion deal with iHealth Labs, a unit of the Chinese firm Andon Health Co., for home COVID test kits. It is part of the administration’s initiative to provide 1 billion free rapid COVID-19 tests to Americans...”

yes space flight was science fiction in 1955 so was the computer and transplants, sequencing for evil purposes is legal for a non law enforcement purpose and in communist countries that harvest population information to get around vulnerabilities.

From the comments:
《this year, the Biden administration signed a $1.3 billion deal with iHealth Labs, a unit of the Chinese firm Andon Health Co., for home COVID test kits.》

Does this include 10% for the “big guy”? Who thought being president could be so profitable?

"Manufacturing DNA evidence of your criminal misdeeds.
Operation black mail"

Prosecutors would laugh a person out of court (unfortunately, effectively) for claiming this was even possible in their particular case.

"Conspiracy theorist whacko!"

And yet, you're quite right. Serfs don't stand much of a chance against a gov't. that has already shown its surreptitious intent to be prepared to put us down.

I take my medical advice from credible persons and that doesn’t include Biden, Malone, Mercola, Stella Immanuel, Steve Hirsch, or any other anti-vaxxer you wish to name.

“Not to mention it is wildly against Federal law to collect genetic information without due process.”

LOL! HAHAHA. How many things have been done by the Biden administration ALREADY that are “wildly against Federal law”?

“even collecting a fingerprint is illegal without due process”

So is incarcerating people for over a year without due process. So is closing churches. So is tracking and spying on citizens without due process.

“Manufacturing DNA evidence of your criminal misdeeds.

I saw a true crime story a while back where a wife killed her husband and framed a former prisoner for the murder. She worked in a law enforcement lab and somehow got a convict’s fingerprints on file, transferred them to Scotch tape or similar, and transferred them to a car door handle where her husband was found. It actually worked for a while. Then she was found out.
