Dr. Schleifer is the founder of Regeneron, a pharma technology company, which bought out 23&me out of bankruptcy. He was born and raised in a Jewish family, the son of Florence and Charles Baker Schleifer, in Queens, New York.
What is Regeneron all about?
Regeneron is a biopharmaceutical company known for its innovative drug development. One of its most renowned products is an antibody cocktail used to treat various diseases, including COVID-19. The controversy arises from the fact that Regeneron, like many other pharmaceuticalcompanies, relies on a process called humanized mice for drug development.
Regeneron was famously awarded a $450 million government contract to manufacture and supply its experimental treatment REGN-COV2, an artificial "antibody cocktail" which was then undergoing clinical trials for its potential both to treat people with COVID-19and to prevent SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus infection. They also got emergency use authorization before the cocktails underwent the 3 phases of required testing!
And now Dr. Schneider has access to all of the biomedical data stored and leaked data by 23andme.
The true number of people exposed was at least 6.9 million, nearly half of 23andMe’s 14 million reported customers.
The affected customers were reported as primarily Ashkenazi Jews but also including hundreds of thousands of ethnically Chinese users. The hacker(s) stole information customers had chosen to share with their DNA matches, which could include name, profile photo, birth year, location, family surnames, grandparents' birthplaces, ethnicity estimates, mitochondrial DNA haplogroup, Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup, link to external family tree, and any text content a customer had optionally included in their "About" section.
