DISINFORMATION CASE DETAILS

DISINFO: The US is collecting DNA from "target" populations to create designer diseases

SUMMARY

We know that the US has been collecting DNA samples from specific “target” populations, particularly in the Russian Federation, collected and collated by the same organizations that are capable of creating “designer disease.” It comes up in publications, demonstrating the frightening capability of tying genetically modified diseases to racial and/or ethnic markers in human DNA.

RESPONSE

Conspiracy theory, presented without any evidence. Recurring disinformation that the US/the West is performing dangerous medical experiments in Eastern Europe. Both international and Russian experts have debunked the conspirational claims. Further information in our database and on the Insider.
