Hey Anons:
Call me paranoid, but a thought occurred to me today re: the new Coronavirus blood test - maybe it's just a virus test, but damn, that'd be one slick way to get the DNA of damn near everybody in the world, wouldn't it? The company who developed it had their stock go up $10 billion after their test got FDA approval.
Mayhap the real "value gain" there isn't selling a test, but building a library of half the DNA (or more) of the world's human population?
The new test was developed by Abbott Laboratories. Started to do a little digging on Abbott: the company has been around since the late 1800's, they got over 100,000 employees; apparently the wife of the founder was America's 1st woman business executive, was their corporate director. She left 12,000 shares of stock for "in furtherance of my beloved husband’s profession and work" which could be innocuous or ominous. Lord knows that shit like eugenics was real popular back then…
No idea who this "Bodysphere, Inc." is - sounds spoopy, and I'm having a hard time locating a company website. Anybody got any leads on Abbott Laboratories or Bodysphere Inc? Is there any protocol in place to destroy DNA from the tests after it's taken and confirmed positive or negative, to ensure that it's not sucked up and added to some registry without people's knowledge or consent?
