CDC Admits Covid Nose Swabs Being Used for DNA Analysis

If you took a COVID-19 PCR test, there’s a chance your swab may have been sent to scientists around the globe for genomic sequencing analysis, the CDC says.

In a tweet, the CDC said five to 10 percent of COVID PCR tests are sent to labs for mapping “genomic sequencing.” Genomic sequencing is a process used to analyze the genetic makeup of viruses. However, the announcement made by the CDC has sparked human DNA privacy questions.

“Its’ [PCR tests] being used by scientists all around the world to track the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants,” the CDC said in the video.

People took to Twitter Wednesday questioning the CDC’s motives, alleging that people’s DNA is being taken without consent.

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) wrote on Twitter, “Did the @CDCgov get permission from people to take their DNA???”

Another person alleged that conspiracy theories surrounding government DNA harvesting are true.

“OMG they’re admitting they stole your DNA using the nose swabs & it’s now being used in labs to study genome sequencing,” @USRising1776 wrote on Twitter. “Yet another “conspiracy theory” that was 1000% true. Class-action lawsuit there for the taking of labs using your genes without your consent or compensation.”

However, people are misunderstanding, says professor of Epidemiology and Nutrition at Harvard Albert Ascherio. In this case, scientists are analyzing the sequencing of the COVID-19 virus for variants like Delta and Omicron. Sequences from collected tests can be compared to help scientists track the spread of a virus, how it is changing, and how those changes may affect public health.

Ascherio says the PCR tests used for genomic sequencing help distinguish common variants of the virus, not human DNA.

“The PCR tests generally do not sequence the full genome, but only selected segments/genes that are more relevant to distinguish the most common variants,” Ascherio told Newsweek. “Full sequencing is however possible and it is done for research purposes to identify the relation between different variants, the appearance of new variants.”

Although there may be the chance for human DNA to get sequenced, Ascherio says it’s unlikely.

“There is no need to test human DNA, but of course, it will be on the swab so it could be tested, which is probably what people may worry about if they are in [a] conspiracy mood,” Ascherio said.

Law professor and former Chief White House ethics lawyer Richard Painter says he doesn’t see a problem with the genomic sequencing of the virus because human DNA isn’t being collected. If the CDC were to track how variants from each person’s DNA, then there would be privacy issues.

“They take the positive test and they want to look at the strains to see what we have,” Painter told Newsweek. “And it’s just the DNA of the virus. What privacy interest do I have in the DNA of a virus? Anything that they can do to study the DNA of the virus to help solve this pandemic, they should be doing.”

    The PCR test is incredibly invasive. They literally insert that irritating probe close to 2 to 3 inches into your nasal cavity. It was never designed to “test” for the non-existent fake covid nonsense.
    If they are simply looking for proteins or anti-bodies or whatever it is they claim to be “looking” for why not just have the person spit in a cup? Why not just have them blow their nose into a tissue? Just collect that.
    Whatever they are doing it is highly suspect. This article claims they are collecting DNA. Others claim that they are inserting strands of Graphene Oxide close to the blood brain barrier membrane. Others claim poisonous compounds are coating the probe. Whatever is going on is definitely suspect.
    If you try to apply common sense to the process it falls apart.
    This “test” is the covid Plandemic. Can’t have a fake plandemic without a test. All the case numbers that built this fraud came from this fake test and the other fake tests that are now being used.
    Refuse any test. There is no Covid. It’s all nonsense. No Covid. No need for any test. And definitely no need for any jab that is killing so many people that have fallen for the delusion that is covid 19.
    Need a test or jab to keep your job? Refuse. If you are fired. Lawyer up and sue them for every last dime. It’s all a house of cards built on lies, and nonsense. It can’t hold up to legal scrutiny. They are counting on your obedience, lack of scrutiny and coercion to push this insanity.

      When you consider the recent information about the surface of the mucus acting as part of the immune system, you can realize that yet another purpose of this “swirling probe,” is to break that surface down and allow any and all pathogens to pass through it. It certainly would be one way to attempt to insure spike protein, if it was on the probe, to have a chance to enter the system, and perhaps be there long enough to “set up house” in a few cells. Or any other bacteria, fungus, virus, or what have you, as well.

        Hi Tom. It is refreshing to read your comments. Spot on.
        Some of us recall the article on PSI where the little girl had blood coming out her nose and from around her eye after the PCR test swab.

        The result is virus directly in to blood or tissue, as you say.

        The win from this plandemic is we all now know how to minimize the common cold or flue.

    Slowly all the so-called ‘conspiracy theories’ of the last 2 years are being shown to be anything but theories. I knew the first time I saw these nose swabs that this is wrong. I did not know then why.

    It simply beggars belief that any clinician did not smell a rat when the nasopharyngeal swab was introduced for “testing”. There is NO possible reason for this invasive procedure as opposed to the simple non-invasive sputum sample that’s ALWAYS been used for respiratory infections.

    WHY have most clinicians remained so silent on this unnecessary and gross over-turning of established medical protocol. Every early-years medical studen would KNOW this, but I am personally aware of medical students who were threatened with course termination if they asked “awkward” questions about the PCR procedure.

    It has been revealed that Annastacia Palaszczuk’s father is the head or chairman of a gene-data storage and sequencing organisation, a giant DNA storage and research project.

    More proof that the government agencies you thought you could trust are well beyond being completely corrupt. Certanly this is an invasion of privacy as is injecting a mRNA poison of which you are not told of what it consists. Never getting any injections, vaccines or fake PCR tests even if gates and fauci send down the black plague part 2 to earth.

    This seems to be a tacit admission that the SAR-CoV-2 virus was indeed never sequenced early on. The CDC diagnostic procedures for the PCR test stated the virus was not isolated. Therefore this also seems to confirm what was published in the procedure.
