After the outbreak of New Coronary Pneumonia, I noticed that the elderly in various countries are very susceptible to the New Coronavirus, especially those with basic diseases are susceptible and have the highest mortality rate. A joint expert investigation team of China and the World Health Organization's New Coronary Pneumonia introduced at a press conference in Beijing that new coronary pneumonia has a high incidence of middle-aged and elderly people. From the perspective of the entire patient group, people over the age of 65 have a higher risk of death. The average age of the Italian deceased is over 80 years old, and almost all the old people in the whole town have died. The early death rate of new coronary pneumonia in South Korea is close to 1%, and 90% of them are over 60 years old. From 70s to 90s; Salomon, the director general of the French Ministry of Health, also said that 93% of those who died of new coronary pneumonia were older than 65 years old.

　　Seventeen years ago, "SARS" targeted the human respiratory system, only attacking the lungs and not harming the immune system; this time, the new coronavirus can also target the cardiovascular system, respiratory system, immune system, digestive system, etc. of the elderly Basic disease, and has accelerated the death of diagnosed elderly people. This phenomenon reminds me of a project of the "Model and Analysis of Mortality of Older Elderly People" conducted by some American institutions around the world more than 20 years ago.

The United States has collected the genetic genes needed by the "Elderly Mortality Model" project globally

　　In the 1990s, when the concept of human genetic resources around the world was unclear, the United States launched large-scale collection and research of human genetic resources worldwide in Asia, Africa, and Europe. The "Human Genome Project". One of the projects is "Model and Analysis of Mortality of Older Elderly People". It is necessary to investigate the types of diseases of the elderly and list cerebrovascular diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, bronchitis, emphysema, asthma and pneumonia , Tuberculosis and other 18 basic cases of the elderly. To investigate these basic cases of the elderly, it is necessary to obtain the genetic genes of the elderly suffering from various diseases, so it is necessary to collect targeted blood samples of the elderly. At the time, it was funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Duke University signed contracts with the Max Planck Institute in Germany and the University of Odense, Denmark in 1996 to collect blood samples from the elderly of Europa races in central, southern and northern Europe; The institution has also collaborated with some research institutions in Saudi Arabia and other countries to collect blood samples of the elderly in the Middle East.

　　At that time, a Chinese aesthetician signed a subcontract with the University of Odense, Denmark, responsible for collecting blood samples of about 300 elderly people in Beijing, Hangzhou, and Chengdu, China, and then sent them to the United States. At the end of 1997, Chinese scholars and Duke University reached an agreement separately in 22 provinces and cities in China, except for the five provinces and districts in northwest China, as well as Tibet, Inner Mongolia, Yunnan, Hainan and other provinces and districts with more ethnic minorities , A cooperative project to collect blood samples of 10,000 elderly people, covering about 100 million Chinese elderly people. In order to obtain the approval of a domestic unit, Chinese scholars changed the name of the project "Model and Analysis of Mortality of Older Elderly People" to "Chinese Elderly People's Longevity Health Monitoring". The Chinese translation of the English contract avoided the word "gene" and claimed to the domestic The blood sample of the old man is collected to examine the old man. I was working in the unit at the time and hoped to stay in Beijing to do this international cooperation project, but the person in charge of the project informed me that Beijing, Guangdong, Hubei, Shanghai, and Heilongjiang are important project areas, and more professional personnel need to be arranged. Finally I was arranged to take charge of the project in Hebei area closest to Beijing, including blood collection tasks.

　　On March 4, 1998, I attended the China Investigator Training Conference of the Tibet Mansion in Beijing. Genetics expert Bent Peterson of the University of Odense in Denmark introduced his blood collection experience in the Nordic region and asked Chinese investigators to follow their Method. The specific method is to soak the old man's hand in hot water for a period of time, and then rub the old man's hand further, and then insert it into the side of the old man's finger with a needle tube to let the old man's finger drip blood. One drop of blood is not necessary. From the second drop of blood, drop it into 5 circles of filter paper. According to the field test, at least two drops of blood will fill one circle. If the blood dripping from one finger cannot fill 5 circles, continue Blood from another finger is taken, that is to say, more than 11 drops of fresh blood must flow from the finger of the old man, and it takes more than 1 minute to complete the blood collection process. Never use iodine.

　　I opposed this blood collection method at that time, because most of these old people were skinny. This blood collection method was a torture and injury to them. Later, I gradually discovered that this project is engaged in genetics. After I made this public, I was immediately supported by dozens of domestic media reports; Agence France-Presse, Reuters, and the United States "Science" magazine and many other media Have participated in the report. Due to the pressure of public opinion, the collected blood samples could not be sent to the United States, and a domestic university was seized. Chinese scholars changed the name of the project and found another department. After 2000, they continued to cooperate with the United States and even contacted some Chinese hospitals to cooperate with the elderly people in 22 provinces and cities in China. Batch after batch sent tens of thousands of blood samples to US laboratories, and also gave the US the data on the overall basic disease status of Chinese elderly.

　　It is entirely possible to provide blood samples of elderly people with underlying diseases to Duke University, and whether Duke University will provide its genetic research results and data to other laboratories across the United States. Because the subcontract signed between Duke University and Chinese scholars clearly stipulates that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will subcontract the blood collection project to a Chinese population research institute through Duke University, and Duke University will provide funds to the Chinese side. Subcontractor, the contract clearly stipulates that Duke University may require the subcontractor to change the work content without limit on the number of times; the copyright allows non-exclusive possession, allowing the US government to copy, translate, publish, use and transfer it, and Grant equal rights to other US agencies. The contract is interpreted according to the laws of North Carolina. A questionnaire survey was also added to the blood collection process in China. For example, the 2000 questionnaire surveyed the latitude and longitude of the counties and districts in which Chinese elderly people live. The number of days and the average statistical data for many years, the average rainfall for many years, the land type and the staple food structure of the place where the elderly live. In another "investigation manual", one of them is to investigate the survival rate of elderly people who took blood in 1998, which elderly people died, whether the cause of death was sickness or natural death, with special emphasis on the time of death, and the need for third-party certification, etc. The data will be provided to the US without reservation.

The United States has gone through the entire research process from chemical bacteria to biological viruses to genetic genes

　　After the sudden outbreak of the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, the results published by many experts in the scientific, medical, and genetic fields in the world also support my point of view 17 years ago, that is, gene recombination technology It is mature. It is possible to find the common genetic defects of basic diseases between different ethnic groups by genetically sequencing the genetic genes of the elderly people with basic diseases such as Chinese people, Europa people in south-central and northern Europe, and Middle Eastern people. These old people of different races are not only susceptible to some viruses, the key is that some viruses can accelerate the death of old people on the basis of the old people suffering from various diseases.

　　In 1994, I went to the United States. Two Chinese Americans accompanied me to visit the US prosecutor of the “Tokyo Trial”. He told me that after the end of World War II in 1945, Japanese troops 731 will use “human experiments” and the manufacture and use of chemical bacterial weapons. All the information is provided to the United States. Since then, the United States has been the only country that has gone through the entire research process from chemical bacteria to biological viruses to genetics in the 75 years after the war. A large number of genetic genes of Chinese people and other races, and even genetic genes of patients of various ages and various diseases exist in American laboratories. What kind of research they are doing is unclear around the world.

　　I specifically mentioned in the book "The Last Line of Defense" that before the outbreak of SARS, coronavirus has been a topic of unpopular research, but ten laboratories in the United States have been studying for more than 30 years. After the outbreak of SARS, some American institutions paid special attention to the blood samples of SARS patients. At the end of 2003, two "atypical pneumonia" survivors wanted to call me through a newspaper reporter, telling me that some American institutions examined him and asked them to take their blood samples. In the 10th anniversary of the outbreak of SARS in 2013, I visited and funded some SARS survivors in Beijing. Some survivors clearly told me that American institutions have been collecting their blood samples.

　　At present, many data indicate that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has led and funded many projects in the collection of human genetic resources in the past 30 years, including the collection of blood samples from Middle Eastern and African people; even in 2017, another US agency collected blood samples including Russians Of biological samples, the result was severely warned by Russian President Putin. There was something that left a deep impression on me. A Chinese American scholar told me through a domestic reporter that in the 1990s, some departments of the US government had great opinions on the Latin Americans of the Spanish Department and found that People in countries such as Mexico have children after they come to the United States, and then eat more American children. The better the welfare policy, the parents will not work because of this welfare. Relevant US departments proposed that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) also funded the collection of blood samples of these people, and through gene sequencing and editing, manufactured products that could inhibit the reproductive ability of these Latin Americans. Later the media exposure was condemned, but this Whether the research is still being conducted in secret is unclear to the outside world.

Some calls for the future security of mankind

　　1. We should seriously reflect on and summarize the positive and negative effects of the "Human Genome Project" on humans. In 1990, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) led the official launch of the "Human Genome Project." Later, scientists from various countries officially joined. This was known at the time as the human sciences in conjunction with the Manhattan Atomic Bomb Project and the Apollo Moon Project. Three major projects in history. The project is actually a study of human genetic resources, and the names often given are very impressive. Judging from today's research results, on the one hand, it promotes human cognition, on the other hand, it also brings confusion and threats to humans. For example, research on genetic defects can lead to the spread and reproduction of some viruses in humans; some people develop viruses while developing vaccines for their benefit; and the opaqueness of genetic modification; even gene editing, human cloning, etc. have seriously violated ethics. behavior. Therefore, I called the "Human Genome Project" of that year "the modern version of the human experiment." We must always be alert and prepared to respond to this "project" that may bring even more unexpected disasters to mankind.

　　2. The formulation of the "International Convention on the Protection and Utilization of Human Genetic Resources" is an urgent task. On July 1, 2019, the "Regulations on the Management of Human Genetic Resources of the People's Republic of China" officially came into effect. In an interview with the media, I said: "Chinese society is progressing, and the legal system is improving." On July 6, 2019, I submitted a proposal to the Secretary-General of the United Nations: to speed up the development of the International Convention on the Protection and Utilization of Human Genetic Resources. Special emphasis is placed on drawing on the historical lesson that Einstein and others failed to stop the proliferation of nuclear weapons, which has posed a huge threat to mankind today. The main reason is that there were no international rules at that time. Today we must formulate international conventions to constrain the non-peaceful use and development of human genetic resources. I hope that the international community will be more open, transparent and more restrictive in this regard for the safety of all mankind, use human genetic resources for peace and human well-being, and prohibit the use of human genetic resources for military and warfare, as well as any anti-human behavior.

　　3. It is recommended to check all "biological virus gene laboratories" in the world. During the New Coronary Pneumonia Epidemic, I have sent many emails to the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the World Health Organization. I hope that after the outbreak, from the perspective of human security, the United Nations will lead the verification of all the "biological virus gene laboratories" in the world. . Since the official launch of the Human Genome Project in 1990, many strange phenomena have emerged since this century, and a variety of new viruses based on coronavirus expression vectors continue to attack humans. For example, in 2003, the most fatal cases of SARS were Chinese, the 2012 MERS virus killed the most in the Middle East, the 2014 Ebola virus killed the most in Africa, and today ’s New Coronavirus causes the most deaths worldwide. The elderly group of basic diseases. I think the research and development of biological virus genes in the United States is very advanced, with the most achievements, and the most patents applied. If the United States can take the lead in its own laboratory, especially in Deterrick, Maryland, which was closed last August The Fort Biochemical Research Base, which allows a team of experts organized by the United Nations to conduct public verification, will surely lead to verification by all "laboratories" around the world, which will make a great contribution to the future safety of humanity.

　　I still adhere to the views and admonitions I put forward 17 years ago. The First World War made humans strongly condemn chemical weapons. The Second World War made humans afraid of atomic bombs. Future wars must be wary of biological genetic super wars. , That is, an unmanned war where no enemy can be found. In order to prevent this human-destroying event from happening, this is the reason and original intention that I want the United Nations to formulate the "International Convention on the Protection and Utilization of Human Genetic Resources" and to verify all "biological virus gene laboratories" today. I think any country in this regard There is an international obligation to be fulfilled; to create a safe and peaceful world for mankind.

　　Today I would like to make another warning, which requires careful reflection on what was called the three major projects in the history of human science in the last century. Since the Manhattan Atomic Bomb Project had no international rules at that time, the world ’s nuclear weapons are now enough to destroy mankind; It is planned that international conventions should be formulated to restrict the proliferation of space development, otherwise various space forces will destroy our planet in the future; similarly, the Human Genome Project urgently needs to formulate the International Convention on the Protection and Utilization of Human Genetic Resources, otherwise humans There will be a huge risk of genocide.
