60 Minutes has learned Chinese company BGI Group, the largest biotech firm in the world, offered to build COVID labs in at least six states, and U.S. intelligence officials issued warnings not to share health data with BGI. See the story, Sunday on CBS. The largest biotech firm in the world wasted no time in offering to build and run COVID testing labs in Washington, contacting its governor right after the first major COVID outbreak in the U.S. occurred there. The Chinese company, the BGI Group, made the same offer to at least five other states, including New York and California, 60 Minutes has learned.

This, along with other COVID testing offers by BGI, so worried Bill Evanina, then the country’s top counterintelligence officer, that he authorized a rare public warning. “Foreign powers can collect, store and exploit biometric information from COVID tests” declared the notice. Evanina believes the Chinese are trying to collect Americans’ DNA to win a race to control the world’s biodata.

Jon Wertheim speaks to Evanina and others for an investigation into how personal data, particularly biodata, has become a precious commodity and in the wrong hands, poses threats to national security and the economy. Wertheim’s two-part report will be broadcast on 60 Minutes Sunday, January 31, at 7 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.  

Thanks partially to Evanina’s efforts, none of the states accepted the offer of the BGI Group, which he says has close ties to China’s military and ruling Communist Party. “This shows the nefarious mindset of the Communist Party of China, to take advantage of a worldwide crisis like COVID,” says Evanina. A veteran of the FBI and the CIA, he recently stepped down, but not before sounding the alarm. “We put out an advisory to not only every American, but to hospitals, associations, and clinics. Knowing that BGI is a Chinese company, do we understand where that data’s going?

One worry for Evanina and others is control over biodata that can lead to the complete control over health care: if a person’s current or future medical condition is known through DNA and other data, the entity that knows it can gain a monopoly over the therapy or drugs to treat them. “From a long-term existential cost to our nation, do we want to do that? Do we want to have another nation systematically eliminate our health care services?” asks Evanina. “That’s what’s happening.”   

This is already happening on a smaller scale; the U.S. is almost entirely dependent on China to furnish the PPE it uses to combat the pandemic. The future could look a lot worse says Edward You, a former biochemist turned supervisory special agent in the FBI. “What happens if we realize that all of our future drugs, our future vaccines… are all completely dependent upon a foreign source? If we don’t wake up, we’ll realize one day we’ve just become health care crack addicts and someone like China has become our pusher,” he tells Wertheim.  

There are potentially other ways for China or other foreign powers to obtain the DNA of Americans. Millions of Americans have voluntarily given their DNA away when they used the services of genealogy companies to learn their ancestry. There is a lot that can happen to their DNA and most donors are not fully aware of the potential risks, bioethicists say. The genealogy companies can have partnerships with biotech firms to share that data, in the interest of developing treatments. Evanina says Chinese firms have been investing in U.S. biotech companies, in part, to get access to health data and technology. BGI states on its website it’s been developing partnerships with U.S. hospitals and biotech firms. People don’t seem to know the value of their own genetic material, says Evanina. “It’s your past and your future as well as your children’s future. It’s very risky and I think the unknown is probably the riskiest part.”   

It’s not just China that is interested in collecting the biological data of American citizens.  Wertheim reached out to the nation’s largest genealogy firms to get their perspective on the security of Americans’ health data. Anne Wojcicki, CEO of 23&Me, responded to questions about whether the true value of these genealogy companies lies in the health data they are collecting. “What we have done is we have empowered individuals with this opportunity to come together, to crowd source research,” Wojcicki says. “And I absolutely stand behind: we are going to develop drugs. So that everyone is actually benefiting from the human genome. So absolutely the data is valuable.” Wojcicki agrees with intelligence officials on China. “We need to be super vigilant about China, you know, with any kind of data. But the issue is more that China is putting billions of dollars into their own genetic programs and we are not.”

But sharing your DNA with these companies is risky enough that the U.S. military recently issued a warning to all service members instructing them not to use direct-to-consumer genealogy tests, saying, “These genetic tests are largely unregulated and could expose personal and genetic information… Outside parties are exploiting the use of genetic data.”  

BGI Group declined to be interviewed, but said in a statement, “The notion that the genomic data of American citizens is in any way compromised through the activities of BGI in the U.S. is groundless.” The company identified itself as “a private organization,” which was “founded to benefit human health and wellbeing.”

Chinese hackers have breached the databases of American hotels, health care companies, a credit reporting bureau and the U.S. government; Chinese operatives have been stealing American technology for years. Nearly every American has been compromised already says Evanina. “You have probably five or six healthcare companies the last five years who have been, I would say, penetrated, exfiltrated, hacked by China,” he tells Wertheim. “Current estimates are that 80% of American adults have had all of their personally identifiable information stolen by the Communist Party of China.”    

In December, John Ratcliffe, then the director of National Intelligence, named China the number-one national security threat to America, citing its theft of technology and data.

After 440,000 Americans are dead – Facebook and American Journal of Medicine admit their stand on HCQ was wrong — these people should be prosecuted!

American Journal of Medicine admit their stand on HCQ was wrong

Back in August 2020 we wrote this on treating the coronavirus

The liberal mainstream media can’t hide this truth from the American public forever.

The latest international testing of hydroxychloroquine treatment of coronavirus shows countries that had early use of the drug had a 79% lower mortality rate than countries that banned the use of the safe malaria drug.

This means that Dr. Fauci, Dr. Birx, the CDC, the liberal fake news media and the tech giants have been pushing a lie that has had deadly consequences!

America had lost (reportedly) over 150,000 lives at that time.

Today that number is at 440,000.

We now know that that number could have been lowered significantly if HCQ use would have been promoted in the US!

A new study posted in the American Journal of Medicine in January found that early treatment of coronavirus patients with hydroxychloroquine lowered the mortality rate for the disease.

The study found that immediate use of HCQ, while the patient was still at home, showed significant benefits.

This is just the latest study that shows the effectiveness of HCQ in treating the coronavirus.

For the past several months the website c19study.com has been tracking the HCQ-coronavirus studies.

According to c19study.com there have been 237 studies, 171 of which were peer reviewed that show 67% of patients improved in early treatment trials.

Also today the Facebook Oversight Board announced it was overturning a previous case on the effectiveness of HCQ.

Facebook’s previously removed a post on the use of hydroxychloroquine in France which it claimed, “contributes to the risk of imminent… physical harm.”

Today Facebook announced this was a mistake.

How many hundreds of thousands of victims were killed due to Dr. Fauci, the CDC and the tech giants’ false claims on hydroxychloroquine?
The jihad against HCQ was to get back at Trump. Hundreds of thousands of Americans are dead today!
When will these people face justice?

“President Trump Had about 80 million votes and Biden had much less than that” – Sidney Powell continues to speak out on 2020 Election (VIDEO)

Sidney Powell was on Skyline News on Biden’s Inauguration day and she shared her thoughts on that significant day in History.

Powell like many Americans was concerned that this is a turning point for the country and the world.  She has a website defendingtherepublic.org where they are keeping track of her cases outstanding, all her pleadings and hundreds of pages of evidence show that President Trump did indeed win the election.

He [Trump] had about 80 million votes and Biden had much less than that, aside from the fact that hundreds of thousands of Biden votes were fraudulent from the get-go.  There were hundreds of thousands of fraudulent ballots.  There were flipped votes in algorithms run in the various machines and not just the ones from Dominion.

Powell explained that they had to drop a couple of cases because they asked the court to review before the inauguration which the court didn’t do so these cases became moot.  When asked about what President Trump knew about the steal, Powell said the following:

I think the people around him for his entire term have controlled him by controlling the flow of information that he got from the people that he could talk to.  There was a massive effort throughout his term to tamp down and limit what he could do by all means possible.”

Listen to the rest below and the next actions in performing full forensic reviews of all the ballots in the swing states and across the nation.

Americans must know the truth about this election.  Americans must trust elections.
