To that end, last week, the: u s ordered an additional two hundred million vaccine doses. This month marks the anniversary of covered in america. Last year. On january thirty, first, there were eight confirmed cases. Now, it's twenty six may. A year ago there were no reported deaths, but today nearly four hundred and fifty thousand americans are gone, as fast as these numbers are, there is a third even larger group of pandemic sufferers. They are the bereaved,

Family members left behind, they did not die, but they lost their lives. The lives they had so carefully. Land timber, enscombe opened a tiny box and released a cheer. A cruise ship timber. Twenty nineteen moron thomas collapsed into his arms in part because he actually did get the ring. She sent him in a picture and I said I'm screenshots system as eleven might you know if he ever want to propose These are rings that I like. How did you meet we? we met in high school, he was always looking for. and I was always running the other way late. I and we reconnected on facebook, and I realized like ok. You know TIM a thirty two years, a security guard and Lauren. Chicago health, insurance administrator set their date december. Twenty twenty one

I called him teddy cause. He was just like a big teddy bear. He called me kitty. He was a big guys, six, seven, like four hundred seventeen pounds on the surface. It's like well that's a big scary guy, but they when you get to know him like you're, just so cuddly, but last april when doctors were struggling to understand treatment. The big man fell hard after six days in the hospital. I got a call, and it was a doctor and not just hurt, like These light machines going off like all these beeps and she was asked Neither have his mom call because it was an emergency terms. Kidneys were failing Then, a few minutes later, like the doktor call back when she caught that time, it was quiet. The machines had stopped beating her stop it sell the room, was quiet.

So a new like it was a real kills got two weeks before, she picked flowers for the wedding. Now. was choosing funeral wreaths. I had to, contact our wedding than you and let them know k he passed away. There won't be a wedding and I had to get their deposit back from them. In turn contribute that money to his burial tell me about terms funeral. I dont even richer Do it as a funeral, because he couldn't even have like a proper decent funeral of just a viewing because of a pandemic, and that's it It's me the most because he was so personable. He was charitable, He was so warm, and yet he had to die alone. Onawandah later and couldn't even get a proper celebration of his life with criminal, isolation and outrageous speed code.

it has become the nations third leading killer cancer. Heart disease kill more, but they don't attack entire families at once in march, andy fillets, a pennsylvania sales executive window the hospital as his wife trish, and therefore children suffered at home body aches migraines every vomiting, everything and then two days after my dad one- and I wanted to ask people to issue andy and carbon in the hospital at the same time, and you must have thought you could have wash them both and my father and I was in the hospital to Andy's father and his father. asked away from covert on April twenty eightth friend, then Andy pasht may thirty. First Andy it was a six day a week runner and he passed away at what age he turned fifty three the week before

He endured the marathon in the hospital for sixty five days weeks later trish received a hefty envelope in the mail. It was addressed to it. it was an itemised built from the hospital for about an hour for weeks of his hospital stay, or do they come It came to a little over four million dollars. It was much before she learned that insurance would pay, it was unsettling at the worst time, but her husband's memory helped her through it andy's bad I was really touched and changed. A lot of people do, and I think he'll continue to to help us. How does it change you? I'm definitely stronger. I thought, but

kind of always leaned on him. He was kind of our rock it's just a different different future. For me, oh dear future and an uncertain one for the bereaved, including jamie drastic, have. the centre of our universe anymore. We wanted to grow old with the grand kids and we had plans and those are all gone june Jamie lost her forty nine year old, husband craig. He was a college in a stranger in connecticut at some point. Inevitably,

You have to begin worrying about practical things and craig was the biggest part of your income. We had life insurance, but eighty percent of income was lost and you hate to look at it like you know you think about the emotional part, and then you have to think of the practical thing like. How am I now going to raise five children in this life that we ve built together? We ask the five to joins Alex. Should me cold, be kaden and kindly my youngest as only twelve years old. I have a long way to go still. I can hear them. Don't ass man for that. That's too expensive. actually feel even worse, because I don't want them to hard enough dealing with losing your father. It's u want to deal with having such a lord tram way. On the other hand, many

hands make light work as much work as they create. They help at the same time, not only the the physical things that need to get done, but just to be able to share all of our different stories and it's going to help keep my husband alive and with us Greg is shooting all around you and when I look at them I can see it. I see the mannerisms. I see that behaviors. I see a little bit a lot of him and eat them kaden, drastic told us about his dad's last words to him. as of right now, you're the man of the house and you kind of like over and take on responsibility. So there's a lot of talk. It's still a lot of pressure, but I feel like it's kind of my job to do at the age of fifty. when apparent dies. Two young children

age too soon covered aid, emirate Volta, an orphan murmur, we were best friends, she loved kids and she love working with other people. After his father died beers ago, his mother, best friend any raised him in new york. Last week deaths in the city averaged seventy a day, but last spring in falter was when seven hundred were dying each day as a college, junior emirate eased her journey to the end they told me that I was I was the person in charge of my mom in her medical decision she was forty one. There last touch was through a screen

throughout the entire? Faced time call I tried to smile. I tried so hard to make. You know if this was my last memory with her. It really wanted it to be me smiling. I wanted it to be me. Hopeful or an ice had mom you're gonna make it through this and I love you. How has losing your mother, your remaining parent. Enjoy your young life, I've always been independent. I've always been able to help out others when the help is needed. Now that I am fully on my own hello, it feels lonely, I I feel like I I can manage jake shown stole, shares the loneliness and the need to manage. He told him,

dad there was no need to worry anymore about the family business. I said tat. I got it from here community let me take care moment, jane and everybody. I shall keep Moreover, no matter what and how old are you now? I'm seventeen the dear barnes or feed store in rural indiana Jake and his dead started it Add to john shots. Stalls pays a firefighter windy, wendy miss John the most at night. When I Member he's not coming home, jennifer shop stall holders. John got sick and march day. Indiana has vaccinated about six percent of the state, half a million people, but last spring coded seemed like

Just a curiosity on the news work. Tear haute indiana were not a big city were not world travellers, we're midwest rule country folks, so I can't say that week really took it serious. She couldn't visit. hospital so to be near him. She and others in the family sat in a car side his room all day and all night every day I sent one tax to one firefighter, hence at eight o clock tonight, I'll be at the hospital praying for John and so that night, the entire fire Hurt makin the visual stood for more than a week just shut up everything.

It's ok but forty one year old, John shots stall died before dawn on a sunday. Jennifer was with him on a facetime call and they were doing cpr at that time, and I was telling him top, don't go. I needed in areas that without not asleep- and that was he- sunday. He is one of the only people I have ever known to be able to go be in heaven on resurrection sunday in that's pretty pretty powerful. To me. These are only these days, when the bereaved still expect to hear the key in the door or catch themselves, thing about something they'll say when the one who's gone comes home. They are days that more and thomas lives in the past tense. I can't

help but notice you're wearing your engagement ring. Yet I cannot take it off, even though I see him in the casket? I saw them the word that same casket into the ground, but taking this ring off. She is confirms that, although this is real, he is really going on. so I don't know how it's going yeah my hand, but I'm in no rush to take it up all over the country people are talking about is going to be great when this is over, and it occurs to me speaking to you that for a lot of people in this country, it will never be over.

What is normal? Normal is not a thing for a lot of us any more for all. The polarization grips Washington, here's, a source of rare senses the emerging thread of china's push to acquire our healthcare data include. the dna of american citizens. U s officials tell us the communist regimes. Aggressive collection of our most personal information present a danger both to national security, and our economy as alarm bells ring across agencies, parties in presidential administrations, different branches of government have taken action over the past year. stem the tide of our medical data flowing to china, the quest to control or bio data and in turn, control healthcare is future husband.

The new space race with more than national pride in the balance, our investigation begins with an unsolicited and surprising proposal that came from overseas at the onset of the covert crisis Only last march, the state of washington was the site of the first major corona virus outbreak in the: u s is covered in the need for tests were spiking b. I grew the world's largest biotech firm, a global giant based in china approached the state of washington with an enticing offer in a strikingly personal letter to the governor bt I proposed to build

help run state of the art, covert testing labs bg, I would quote: provide technical expertise, provide high throughput sequences and even make additional donations. It seem like an offer. The state couldn't refuse, especially given the desperate need, but officials were suspicious about b g. I ended connections to the chinese government. They are the ultimate company that shows connectivity to both the communist state, as well as the military apparatus? the eleven nina recently step down the top counter intelligence official. In the? U S, a veteran of both the fbi, and cia. He was so concerned by bt eyes, covert testing proposals and who would ultimately get the data. that he authorized a rare public warning quote: foreign powers can collect, store and exploit biometric information from coal. Tests. We put our revise, read too not only to every american but to hospitals, association,

Knowing the bijou icy is a chinese company? Do we understand dad is going tens, a million americans getting covert test this year. We will take a lot of them. Are boy boy, whereas this data going what third parties involved, I would proffered no one's thinking that, but this shows the nefarious mindset of the communist party to take advantage of an worldwide crisis like covered by eleven nina suspects. These laws, offers are modern day trojan horses b g. I comes to the: u s, bearing gifts but harbouring other motives, its unclear whether be Gee I or any covert tester would get dna from nasal swabs. He says, but the labs areaway to establish a foothold to bring their equipment start mining. Your data and set up shop in your neighborhood, you have to take a step back and ask yourself who has access to that data supervisory special agent edward. You is a former biochemist turned F b I and

two gator and with that it there's a very uncomfortable truth that comes out that in the last decade or so you'll see China has heavily invested through the purchaser acquisition of actual companies, access to our data Question is: where is this data going? All roads lead to china? They are the biggest player right now. The authoritarian government of china in its leader, she djinn ping, have been boldly open about their ambitions to beat the west in reap the benefits of advances in dna, science and technology. The communist regime even has published manifest though, with a catchy name. They have something called made in china, twenty twenty five and in these national strategies, the absolutely call out wanting to be the prominent leader in this biological age wanting to be the leader and being able to develop vaccines, precision, medicine for all the classified briefings about china that bill Levin, Nina received the threat really hit her

when he called home? This is new york now we're having with my dad is ten years from now. I get a phone call? by the way we understand you are going to develop hypertension, rain you're on the verge of parkinson's. Here are three men You should take moving forward to help libya, some of the symptoms, my doesn't like we're. How do they know this and the companies from China because they ve already micro targeted my dad based upon his dna, and my dad says: ok I'll do it doubles advocate argument would say: listen if you are able to pinpoint something dna or sign up for that? That's exactly that the argument is to him from a long term action cost or nation to be one we want to have another nation systematically eliminate or healthcare services Are we okay with that as a nation? If we are ordination, then so be it, but that's what's happening our dependence.

On china during cove id for p p for masks we'll pale in comparison to our potential health care dependence going forward according to edward you of the fbi. What happens if we realise that all of our future drugs a future vaccines, future health care are all completely dependent upon a foreign source? If we, Wake up will realize one day we ve just become healthcare. Crack attics in some like China has become a pusher health care crack. Annex ii say right if they're in a position to be able to offer you personalized, effective low cost healthcare. Would we be in a position to say no? I don't think so. How close are we to that. I don't how close we are, but I can feel it breathing down our neck sent a little xenophobia. If china is

the industry leader here, why? Wouldn't you do business with them? Will at the end of the day, it's not about the chinese people? It's about the chinese government. He says china's government understands that their future six That's hinges on accumulating large amounts of human dna. They are building out a huge domestic database and if they are now able to supplement that would data from all around the world. It's all about who gets the largest most diverse data set, and so the ticking time bomb is at once they are able to achieve true. Artificial intelligence Then there are the races and what they can do with that date, you're saying biggest dataset wind, correct.

Think of dna is the ultimate treasure map a kind of double helix chart containing the code for traits, ranging from our eye color to our susceptibility to certain diseases. If you have ten thousand dna samples, scientists could possibly isolate the genetic markers in the dna associated with say breast cancer, but if you have ten million samples, you're statistical chances of in the markers improved dramatically, which is why china wants to get so much of it. It is one sided, though, that china passes last year, the chinese companies actually clamp down on any access to their biological data or their biological also, it is a one way street, so their data leaving china, but their sucking it in All over the world right, it's not just dna. According to bill ever nina, he and his colleagues have been tracking china, as the country uses less than honourable method to vacuum. Up all sorts of data from

side, their borders. They do it both legitimately and illegitimately. They still some data, but their very strategically. They acquire it throughout the world you're, at least in some cases. China's hacking to get this- china is number one in the world that any kind of hacking capability and their brazen about it, several john rackliff, then the director of national intelligence went so far as to name I know, as the number one national security threat to america, citing specifically their theft of data in technology. We have probably five or six healthcare companies. The last five years who have been, I would say trade experts traded hacked by China. What's the likelihood you and I have been hacked by china, one hundred and ten percent personal data, personal data, colonel its or that eighty percent of american belts have had all their personally identify all information stolen by the communist party of china. The concern is that the chinese regime is

taking all that information about us what we eat, how we live when we exercise and sleep and income, binding it with our dna data, with information about her did he end environment. Suddenly, They know more about us than we know about ourselves in bypassing doctors, China can target us with treatments and metal we don't even know, we need think about the dawn of the internet of things In the five g networking and smart homes and smart cities there going to be sensors, everywhere it's gonna, be tracking your movement, your behavior habits and, ultimately Can I have a biological application, meaning that, based on the data that gets collected, they'll, be able analyze it and look at improving your health. That data becomes incredibly well then, and very very valuable you're describing data almost as a as a commodity

it is absolutely gonna, be the new oil all this may sound like a premise for a disturbing, futuristic science fiction movie. But u s? Government officials say that picture gets even scarier. given how china is already using dna strategically against its own citizens, today, These are some of the most serious abuses that the chinese government has committed in modern history. Sophie Richardson, director of the china programme for human rights watch Since china has rounded up more than a million wiggers chinese citizens a muslim minority in jail them in camps. The? U S, government calls this a crime against humanity there being subjected to political and, they can't use their own language. There not allowed to worship those people are highly restricted in how they can live their lives. This is a population under constant surveillance. Yeah it's a region, that's a wash in surveillance technology, ranging from official recognise

and software surveillance cameras, data where's wifi, sniffer is part of the social control includes the forced collection of dna. Under the guise of free physicals for wiggers richardson says china is actually collecting dna and other biometric data. That then you specifically to identify people Target other family members and refined facial recognition, software in those national security officials say or just the use, as we know about, in response to the weaker repression. Last July, the? U s: department of commerce, sanction to subsidiaries of a chinese biotech company that company b g I the same one, offering washington state the covert testing lap. Those companies were identified to have been facilitating the collect

and of genetic information of ethnic wiggers? If anything that should serve as a warning signal for all of us that that is potentially what can happen if our data gets out of our hands. How can be used? It's not a coincidence. Beach eyes involved in the weaker crisis, given the company's close relationship with the communist regime in twenty ten have receiving one point: five billion dollars from china's government be Gee. I was able to expand dramatically the monstrous they have contracts with over sixty countries globally to provide not only genomics sequencing but also to provide analytics, they say or private company. Are they such thing as a parent company in the communist party of china. Under a he's of laws unthinkable in western democracies, chinese company

like be, I are obligated to share data with the chinese regime. It's as, if say, Google, amazon and facebook had to turn over their data to the cia on demand for guaranteeing the chinese government whether its biotech or they hate. We want your information, please provide it. Absolutely you must prove Any all data that's asked for by the communist party in china, which the scary part sometimes it's not all their data. If you are in a joint partnership, a joint venture, their dad has now susceptible to go to the chinese communist party, as bt. I touts on its own website. The company has been steadily developing partnerships with hospitals and bio tech companies inside the united states, giving bt I and, by extension, the chinese government potential access to our dna data sequence. Technology and analytics. How does b d I partner with you as companies, so they do it first, while with money so investment, I want to invest

million twenty million eighty mind out in your company. Every company says come on in the same tone they're going to have an unwritten rule that they're going to be able to take that data. Your sequencing capabilities, what they don't know, is trying to keeping it and they're, giving you a copy back bt? I declined our request for an interview and said in a statement quote the notion that the comic data of american citizens is in any way compromise through the activities of b g, I in the. U s is groundless. They said they are a private organisation founded to benefit human health and well being remember, bt eyes proposal to build covert testing labs for the state of washington. Sixty minutes learned that the company made similar proposals to more than five other states. Including new york in california, and after a federal officials, warned against partnering with bt. Each state said no to be g eyes labs.

The financial stakes for dominating the global biotech sector, the industry, that's bringing us. The covert vaccine are staggering, estimated to be worth up to four trillion dollars a year for prospective that more than the valuation of amazon and apple combined, not surprise Lee? Many? U s! Companies one a piece of that pie and recognise that control over the future of health care lies in color the thing and then analyzing massive quantities of data. So like china, they too were building up vast libraries of health information There are undeniable benefits to this potential cures and treatments, I'm already in use, but there's also a darker truth buried in the fine print companies, including some of the ones that sell those popular genealogy test. Kids could profit off of consumers and their private

medical data, sometimes americans or people on the globe, don't even know their value. Other dna that that even has value, but is your single soul? Identifier of everything about you as a human being bill. Evelina just stepped down the top counter intelligence official at the directorate of national intelligence, I'm a victim of identity theft. I can get a new visa amex you get my genetic identity, I don't a baca, that's correct, so past and your future is Walser children's future. So in recent years millions of americans have given away their dna for ancestry, searches is risky, it's very risky and I think the unknown is probably the risk is part so risky. In fact, The? U s military recently issued a warning to all service members instructing them not use direct consumer genealogy tests like those offered by ancestry,

twenty three in me and other companies quote these genetic tests are largely unregulated and could expose personal and genetic information outside parties are exploiting the use of genetic data from the fence issued that problem she's saying please do not use the genetic services, because we are not comfortable yet as a government to understand where that genetic data goes its back. for the military. We wondered why there are not government warnings to american consumers already. an estimated fifty million americans have paid a small fee and sent in their saliva hoping for clues to what country their ancestors came from roads. They may not know they have or some other information about their health genealogy are selling us on. The use of dna is a consumer product, but supervisory specially did edward. You of the fbi, says what they are really selling us is something else entirely their return investment is aggregate

the data and what they can do with it once they have enough of your saying these, these genealogy companies, the real value, is everything you can do with this is it the value is in the data. It is not just a genealogy companies, everybody, Looking at what kind of data do I have access to? How much do I have How can I turn around and and monetize it? That's where the money is absolutely. For example, just this past week, twenty three and me was reported to be in talks to go public with a value of four billion dollars. It's a common refrain world of biotech data is the new oil and it's all types of health data that might come from your smart watch, your social media, your credit card, you see, Davis, professor of law, lisa ikey, moto specializes in

I owe ethics and is studying how the new market for dna and health data is taking shape. It seems like a bit of a bait and switch. We pay one hundred box whatever it is for our ancestry reports and then they actually want to turn around and sell our data, that's what's being hidden there you're, allowing your personal information to be used by others, and that information is being transferred to third parties. And its being for uses that you never imagined. Professor echo motorways. Sceptical about whether crew informed consent is being granted when we provide our dna and point out that most customers click yes giving permission for their data to be used for research gay moto wonders if they realize what that really means. We printed out the privacy forms for twenty three in me and ancestry miss amid this. Just a blizzard of paperwork and.

And fine print it does. Anyone read these things were so used filling sort of scrolling through these long humans online to upload the upper whatever it is and then just clicking. I agree button at the end. This is an ancestry forms. You grant royalty free world sub licence, opel transferable licence to host transfer process, analyze, distribute and communicate your genetic information. What does that mean in English, I you're giving up our rights and any potential commercial interest in the use of your dna by ancestry. Dna who are they selling the data to who are the buyers here,

most of their genealogy companies are partnering with pharmaceutical companies. Biotech start ups established research, institutions, ancestry, declined our interview, request and said: ancestry does not sell consumer dna data and we do not have any for profit research partnerships, Genealogy companies told us that the data they do share for research is made anonymous and that the research is a force of good, but with those third party agree, to study disease and develop treatments can come investment dollars. Forty three in me has a partnership with glass smithkline three hundred million dollars to develop drugs based on this dna. Is that a good thing or about thing they might produce something very useful. In that sense, its good, it means twenty three in me and glaxosmithkline will make a huge amount of money. The people who provided

cells and tissues or dna that is being used, will make none they'll, probably be charged a lot of money for the drugs if they ever need them to we're. Providing the raw materials to create this product, and then we have pay for the product. Yeah! That's exactly right. People are now being mind for the roma Israel's it raises concerns about what it means to be human in this world from the foundation of the company. We have always said if our customers can't trust us. We don't have a business, see yo and founder of twenty three in me and would just key says her. Customers are making a conscious decision to contribute their dna for the benefit of society. When we started the company, we sat down with the leading privacy experts and what they taught me was that an privacy doesn't mean that your data is not shared anywhere. It means that we have choice. What percentage your customers are. Opting in an thing go ahead, use my dna for your research.

Over eighty percent of our customers upton, but you're still choosing how and when and where their data is being used. We give people safer. For instance, we have entered into a large collaboration with glaxosmithkline for therapeutic development, and we did that. We specifically emailed all of our customers and we gave them the opportunity to either opt into research or to opt out of research. But this idea that the value of this companies in the data to see where the real growth potential is your chief scientists said it's genius. People were paying us to build databases. What we have done, as we have empowered individuals with this opportunity to come together to crowd source research and I absolutely stand behind- we are going to develop drugs so that everyone

is actually benefiting from the human genome. So absolutely the data is valuable. I want to keep pushing you on this point, your relying on the kindness of strangers not paying aimed at all have a stake in potential profits is at a fair exchange. I believe our customers feel that that that the number one thing that we can do that is going to benefit them is the end result which is the end result, is actually develop a drug. That's a long way from learning more about your family's country of origin, No, they are using our dna. What's essentially our bar code for drug development, genealogy fur like twenty three me are not subject to hippo regulations, but would just be a short term. Companies. Privacy policies are stronger than hit any.

Other federal laws about the security of our data there patchwork in incomplete, according to lisa, a moto. This message of trust us what you respond to that. Given thirty years of research, I am not willing to give my trust to the biotech industry. I think probably true, that the researchers who do this work have the best intentions in most cases, but that doesn't mean that I can't be exploited in the process and then there is the issue of security, multiple consumer genealogy firms have been targeted by hackers and. Last few years, putting our dna data at risk, both ancestry and twenty three and me told us they have not been breached. You agree that the possibility of a hack is a serious, serious concern. Anyone who tells you that a hack is not possible is lying and so I have to make sure I'm doing everything that is reasonably possible on data security and now I'm doing every

I can with transparency, to make sure you trust, us and that you are never surprised, but you may be surprised, is about another potential security risk. How much money, foreign firms, particularly chinese, are investing into u s. Companies. They collect our bio data, according to former intelligence official bill ever nina, so the amount of effort that the chinese when has put into investing in companies in the u s. Current estimates are twenty three chinese base or fully companies are operating inside the? U s in consultation collaboration. Partnership, investment with: u s based companies. China's reach has gotten so vast it drawn the attention of a little known, but increasingly busy branch of the treasury department the committee on foreign investment in the united states or serious among its duties sniffing out suspicious business deals.

just a few months ago. A chinese firm was set to buy a san, diego fertility clinic in part, because the fertility clinic is located near six, us military bases, syfy has blocked the sale before it could take place. What if the fertility clinic sells all their capabilities and data to a company china? Now that has gone so all that capability of your unborn foetus now owned and operated by the chinese company, in other words the company, have had access to the dna, not just of u s. Soldiers, but other unborne babies ever Nina also expressed his concern to us that twenty three in me have some china investors? We know, there's an investment and chinese company and twenty three me we, what we don't know is there. Data sharing agreement with our company or not, we have twenty three You see yo and were jesting.
