A long but very interesting read that relates to Biden signing the “Executive Order on Advancing Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing Innovation for a Sustainable, Safe and Secure American Bioeconomy.” Basically the break down is that this authorizes the defensive pathogen research which includes offensive pathogen creation (already happening with government money funding foreign labs as well as military installations), so read that develop new pathogens like how Covid-19 and Monkeypox were created by genetic manipulation in a lab. The threat then being a new pandemic that would allow the removal of more rights and freedoms, with giving up American sovereignty to the WHO through the treaty being negotiated with reference to a supreme court case that can set a precedent for treaty conditions overriding state sovereignty. It’s a compelling case, but looking at section 4 of the document linked above I’m alarmed at the data provisions. So we should be on the lookout for new simulations before the event just like they conducted the corona virus and monkey pox simulations. And patents will probably give away the game just like with Covid-19.
(i) identifies the data types and sources, to include genomic and multiomic information, that are most critical to drive advances in health, climate, energy, food, agriculture, and biomanufacturing, as well as other bioeconomy-related R&D, along with any data gaps;
(ii) sets forth a plan to fill any data gaps and make new and existing public data findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable in ways that are equitable, standardized, secure, and transparent, and that are integrated with platforms that enable the use of advanced computing tools;
