And suddenly the conspiracy theorist is not so crazy once again. This is a pretty scummy thing to do an jeopardizes future pandemic testing as people will feel they are being lied to and won’t trust testing. But by the. I suspect it won’t matter. They will have so many DNA samples that even if you are a slight relative they will be able to figure out who you are from a unknown sample of DNA.
- rob_c 5y agoYep. The most prolific conspiracies have always had an unfortunate nugget of truth behind them. "They're using it to track us". Or "Its to make a database to remove our freedoms" claims don't looks crazy at first glance. At the some time I'm now glad biology had such a reproducibility problem, they probably can't identify a human strand from a rat in most "biotech" start ups I reckon...
- registeredcorn 5y agoI like to think of the reproducibility problem as a sort of modern Tower of Babel. It's obviously not a perfectly 1:1, but interesting similarities to be sure.
