Darth Soros? BioTech: Beyond 666 Wuhan → GENOMICS
anon at >>7916103 (pb) notable found WuXi PharmaTech (previously WuXi AppTech) was alleged Soros-owned, Cayman-registered with biolab at a spoopy 666 street street address in coronavirus Wuhan. Have read that there appears to be HIV inserts in coronavirus, it preferentially targets Asians / Chinese , etc. not sure what to believe, not a biofag.

Just learned that WuXi PharmaTech bought a leading genomics outfit NextCODE 'round Jan 2015. US, Iceland, HQ in Shanghai.

Seems to be buying / growing since then. 1/4 of a billion $ can do that to you.
“WuXi NextCode, which collects genomic data to sequence and analyze DNA, announced today that it has closed a $240 million round led by Sequoia Capital China. Temasek, 3W Partners, and JACK MA’s private equity firm, Yunfeng Capital, also participated.
“Founded in 2015, WuXi NextCode uses genomic data — or data related to DNA — to determine the functions of specific genes. The company is based between Cambridge, Massachusetts; Reykjavik, Iceland; and Shanghai and draws DATA FROM various sources, including NATIONAL GENOME PROJECTS in England, Ireland, Qatar, Singapore, and Iceland, as well as GLOBAL PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES AND RESEARCH HOSPITALS IN BOTH THE U.S. AND CHINA.”

WuXi going big into vaccines in Ireland:
https://www.irishtimes.com/business/health-pharma/wuxi-biologics-to-build-216m-vaccine-production-facility-in-dundalk-1.4091773
The plant, which will employ 400 people when up and running, has been designed to be the world’s largest biologics contract manufacturing facility using single-use and flexible scale-out production technology.
“We believe our ‘co-located’ WuXi Biologics and WuXi Vaccines businesses will work well together, and contribute substantially to the further future growth of the WuXi Biologics Campus in Dundalk,” said chief executive Dr Chris Chen.
“This new project to exclusively manufacture a vaccine for the global market is among the first of its kind in the industry, and is a further testimony to the technical strengths and premier quality which WuXi Biologics will bring to Dundalk.”
