Medical whistleblower, author, and former medical coder Zowe Smith describes for AM Wake Up how the COVID-19 registry—used to keep track of those who (supposedly) contracted COVID (whatever that is) as well as the contacts of those who contracted COVID—has been privatized. Specifically, privatized by Datavant, which is a health information “AI ecosystem” company working with BGI in China. BGI, Smith notes, is what became of the Human Genome Project in China.

Smith notes this private database housed by Datavant (assembled from the COVID registry data) is shared with 500 other private companies.
