CDC Admits To Collecting COVID Nasal Swab PCR Tests For Genomic Sequencing Analysis
The Centers for Disease Control published a controversial post on Twitter, admitting that Americans who took a Covid-19 nasal swab PCR test may have had their DNA harvested. “Remember that #COVID19 nose swab test you took?” the post reads. “What happened to the swab? If it was processed with a PCR test, there’s a 10% chance that it ended up in a lab for genomic sequencing analysis. Learn more about the process and its importance.” Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA) asked on Twitter, “Did the CDC get permission from people to take their DNA?” There is a precedent to suspect a government would seek to build a database of human DNA. The U.S. government has been collecting DNA samples of nearly every child born in the nation’s hospitals for decades now.
