Bill Gates quoted out of context about injecting kids with genetically modified organisms in discussion on GM crops – Health Feedback
Posted: March 31, 2021 at 5:23 am
CLAIM
Bill Gates stated that "Were taking things that are genetically modified organisms, and were injecting them into little kids arms; we just shoot them right into the vein"
DETAILS
Lack of context: Bill Gates was speaking about the importance of safety testing in the acceptance of new technologies. He was making a comparison between the safety system for medicines and genetically modified crops.
KEY TAKE AWAY
Genetically modified crops are controversial among the public and farmers. Bill Gates used the example of medical testing as an analogy to make the case for the importance of a safety monitoring system for GM crops. Genetically modified organisms are used in producing certain vaccines, which have been tested in clinical trials to show their safety and efficacy.
REVIEW A video posted on YouTube showed a clip of Bill Gates speaking about injecting children with genetically modified organisms. The video has been viewed more than 15,000 times and shared more than 3,000 times on Facebook, according to the social media analytics tool CrowdTangle.
The clip of Bill Gates was taken from a 2015 event in Brussels as part of a discussion about genetically modified (GM) crops. GM crops are agricultural plants that have been modified using genetic engineering to introduce new traits, such as improved nutritional value or resistance to pests and herbicides. While the scientific consensus is that GM foods are safe to eat, they remain controversial among the public and farmers.
At the event, Gates used the safety testing process for medicines as an analogy to support safety testing for GM crops. Specifically, new medicines go through testing and clinical trials to determine if they are safe and effective. There are numerous stages in the safety testing process, in which results are compared between increasingly larger test groups and untreated people to assess the benefits and risks of a medicine.
The segment below contains Gates quote, shown in context:
The strongest analogy is to medicines. Is there something to worry about with medicines that some of them might have side effects? Do we need safety testing? Were taking things that are genetically modified organisms, and were injecting them into little kids arms; we just shoot them right into the vein. So, yeah, I think maybe we should have a safety system where we do trials and test things out.
Gates used this analogy to compare the potential safety risk of new medical technology to the risk of eating GM crops. Society in general comes to accept new medicines because regulatory agencies ensure that they are safe, based on data from extensive safety testing. In other words, Gates used the example of safety testing of new medicines to argue that safety testing for GM crops is likewise required to boost their acceptance.
Gates statements were part of a wider discussion about the rights of African farmers to choose whether or not to use GM crops. Gates argued that GM crop techniques should not be dismissed entirely, given their potential to solve a range of problems:
The idea though that you would take a technique that promises to solve nutrition problems, solve productivity problems, solve crop disease problems for African farmers, where its absolutely a life-and-death issue for them, and you would say, oh nothing that uses that technique should possibly be used.
Essentially, Gates promoted the idea that having a safety monitoring system in place would help inform decisions by stakeholders on their use, as they do in medicine. However, the manner in which the video was edited made it appear as though Gates was promoting the idea of injecting children with genetically modified organisms, which, as demonstrated above, isnt the case.
Genetically modified organisms are a key part of biologics production, such as vaccine manufacturing. For instance, genetically modified cells are used to produce proteins found in the hepatitis B virus and human papillomaviruses, which are the active ingredients in the respective vaccines that trigger the development of immunity against these viruses. However, it is important to note that these vaccines themselves dont contain genetically modified organisms. These vaccines have been used for many years and data from safety monitoring shows that they are safe and effective(see here and here).
Some COVID-19 vaccines, like the ones produced by AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson, also make use of the same technology. These vaccines use a viral vector, where an existing virus called an adenovirus that causes the common cold was genetically modified to carry the genetic sequence coding for the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2. These vaccines were also shown to be safe and effective.
In summary, the video posted on YouTube left out a lot of the context around the comments from Bill Gates. Gates was speaking at an event about genetically modified crops and was arguing for the importance of safety testing.

Insights on the Biohacking Global Market to 2027 – by Type, Product, Application, End-use and Regions – PRNewswire
Posted: at 5:04 am
DUBLIN, March 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Biohacking Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report, By Type; By Product; By Application; By End Use; By Regions; Segment Forecast, 2020-2027" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global biohacking market size is expected to reach USD 52,779.36 million by 2027, according to the study. The report gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.
Biohacking are biological experiments conducted in a small lab and are done by either individual or a small community. That is why biohacking is also called Do-It-Yourself (DIY). The biological experiments performed in garage labs could be genetic engineering, 3-D printing using light-sensitive bacteria. Furthermore, biohackers are in process as well as have developed various products to explore the human body and mind such as smart drugs, microchips, brain sensors, magnetic fingerprints, RFID implants, bacterial and yeast strains, smart blood pressure monitor and health tracker.
For functional or aesthetic changes, biohackers have implemented technology to their own bodies. For instance, Artist Neil Harbission has exceptional color blindness due to which he used to see every object in grey color only. Later, he and his team had developed a software that transposes colors into vibration using a head-mounted camera extension.
The growing awareness about biohacking and the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases across the globe are the factors driving the growth of the market. Currently, the COVID-19 crisis has led to a rise in market growth for the pharma industries, and several R&D activities have been conducted by the companies to develop a suitable drug t as well as control the crisis. Therefore, increasing research & development activities by the company is the factor anticipated to fuel the market.
However, the lack of cybersecurity practices and expertise, severe regulations that govern the genetic engineering experiments are anticipated to restrain the market growth during the projection period. On the other hand, lack of funding in research & development by the government yet remains another factor that limits the growth of the market. Furthermore, Salvia Bioelectronics, a Dutch startup company, is developing neurostimulation implantable device to stop chronic migraines. At its early stage of R&D, the company has successfully raised a fund of 1.8 million euros, in 2019. Additionally, smaller U.S. startups like CVRx has raised USD 340.6 million while Setpoint has raised USD 84.3 million. CVRx makes implant for heart failure treatment while Setpoint develops neuro devices for the treatment of arthritis and Crohn's disease. This shows a great opportunity for biohackers.
Market participants such as Thync Global Inc., Apple, HVMN, Inc., Synbiota, Grindhouse Wetware, MoodMetric, THE ODIN, and Fitbit, Inc. are some of the key players operating in the market. The companies operating in the market are involved in the development of the product, strategic initiative, and regional expansion. For instance, Tim Cannon (co-founder of Grindhouse wetware) had implanted a circadia device into his arm. This was the very first event of body implantation. The Circadia device is capable of monitoring body temperature.

UN Summit faces boycott threat – Fruitnet
Posted: at 5:04 am
The United Nations Food Systems Summit, scheduled for September 2021, is facing the threat of a massive boycott, according to a report in the Guardian, with accusations that the summit is biased in favour of corporate, high-tech intensive agriculture.
Anger arose after the summits concept paper was revealed, reportedly highlighting the importance of precision agriculture, data collection and genetic engineering in addressing the food crisis, but making no reference to ecological farming or civil society involvement.
The UN special rapporteur on the right to food, Michael Fakhri, wrote that the summit appeared heavily skewed in favour of one type of approach to food systems, namely market-based solutions.
The business sector has been part of the problem of food systems, he stated, and has not been held accountable.
The summit was initially welcomed for recognising that farming had largely been ignored in climate talks. Its brief was to find ways to reduce hunger and improve global food systems, according to the Guardian, in the face of worsening climate and biodiversity crises.
However, it was the UN secretary generals appointment of Agnes Kalibata to head the event that sparked the first controversy.
The former Rwandan agriculture minister is president of the Gates-funded Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (Agra), which was set up in 2006 to open the continent up to genetically modified crops, high-yield commercial seed varieties and intensive farming, the Guardian reported.
In a statement to the newspaper, Kalibata defended her appointment, as well as the goals of the summit. I know those among the worlds most vulnerable and I am determined that this summit will not let them down, she said. We have designed the summit to ensure every voice is heard. We do not expect everyone to agree on everything from the outset.
The Civil Society and Indigenous Peoples Mechanism, a group of over 500 civil society groups with more than 300m members, revealed that it would boycott the event and set up an alternative meeting.
Timothy Wise, senior adviser at the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy in the US, lamented the missed opportunity to hear from successful farmer-led groups.
A growing number of farmers, scientists and development experts now advocate a shift from high-input chemical-intensive agriculture to low-input ecological farming, he noted. They are supported by an array of new research documenting both the risks of continuing to follow our current practices and the potential benefits of a transition to more sustainable farming.

Genetically altering grey squirrel fertility could help the native red say scientists – iNews
Posted: at 5:04 am
Genetically engineering female grey squirrels to make them infertile could be a highly effective way to control their numbers and make way for declining red squirrel populations, a study has found.
Conservationists have long sought to reduce numbers of invasive grey squirrels, which were imported as curiosities from the US in the 1890s and started to wreak havoc on the UKs native red squirrels.
Grey squirrels carry a disease a parapoxvirus -which does not appear to affect their health but often kills red squirrels. Greys are more likely to eat green acorns, so will decimate the food source before they ripen and the reds can make use of them.
Green Shoots: i's Guide to Helping the Planet in your Everyday Life
Scientists are working on a new technique to alter their genetic makeup and, using computer modelling, they have demonstrated its potential to significantly reduce grey squirrel numbers.
The next step is to perfect the gene altering technique, which is well advanced in insects but still needs quite a lot of development before it could be used in rodents.
It would also require regulatory approval and probably public acceptance before it was used in the real world, although the Government is actively considering relaxing restrictions on gene editing.
The technique involves tweaking a key female fertility gene in a group of grey squirrels and releasing them into the wild.
Nicky Faber, who did the research at Edinburgh University and is now a PhD candidate at WageningenUniversity and Research in the Netherlands, said: The modelling shows that the technique is very effective at reducing the population size. It will spread through the population so after a certain number of generations, all grey squirrels will have the engineered gene and this will cause a lot of females to be infertile.
The programme would probably require an annual release of newly engineered grey squirrels, with numbers depending on factors such as the local population and the effectiveness of the technique in real life, she said.
The technique also has broader applications.
Ms Faber said: This technology is exciting because it could help solve some other big challenges: to control or immunize malaria-transmitting mosquitoes, to immunize vulnerable species threatened by a pathogen, or to control agricultural pests.
It is more humane than current pest control measures such as shooting, trapping, and poisoning. Also, it is more sustainable as it is species-specific, so it has no negative effects to other species.
A lot of research still needs to be done to make the technology practically applicable, but once it is, the technology could be a great tool in our conservation toolbox, she said.
Professor Luke Alphey, of the Pirbright Institute in London, who was not involved in the research said: Regulatory approval and public acceptance would obviously be essential before any actual use of such technology that is a long way off, but this paper indicates that gene drives could be a valuable tool in the conservation toolbox.

Reasons for Doing This Study
Technological advances over the last three centuries have helped make people's lives easier and richer. Technology has continually advanced to a higher level from one era to the next, starting with the Industrial Revolution. Now, we are seeing the start of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, also known as Industry 4.0.
The First Industrial Revolution followed the proto-industrialization period. This industrial revolution started in the eighteenth century with the advent of the steam engine when steam began powering everything from agriculture machinery to textile manufacturing. This industrial revolution is also called 'The Age of Mechanical Production.' Agrarian societies gave way to urbanization with steam power.
The Second Industrial Revolution began toward the end of the nineteenth century with massive technological advancements that led to the emergence of new sources of energy such as electricity, gas and oil. Other important advances in The Second Industrial Revolution included developments in steel production, chemicals and methods of communication such as the telegraph and the telephone. The Second Industrial Revolution is considered the most important one to this day because of the inventions of the automobile and the plane at the beginning of the twentieth century.
The Third Industrial Revolution was brought forth through the rise of electronics, telecommunications and of course computers. Through these new technologies, the third industrial revolution opened the doors to space exploration, Internet communications and biotechnology.
The Fourth Industrial Revolution can be described as the blurring of boundaries between the physical, digital and biological worlds. It is a fusion of advances in artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, the Internet of Things (IoT), 3D printing, genetic engineering, quantum computing, and other technologies. Industry 4.0 is emerging within subsets of various vertical industries, with one of the first being the pharmaceutical industry.
