But then there was this bit: > Our first aim should be to stop a new disease before it starts. About 60 percent of the pathogens circulating inthe human population originated in animals and leapt from one species to the other in a "zoonotic" transmission. The world could seek to minimise the danger by forging a global network of zoonotic research hubs, charged withspotting dangerous animal pathogens that may cross the species barrier and infect human beings.Which I imagine is the whole Cameron/Illumina/GVP thing

For sure Trump stands head and shoulders above Boris on the nutjob scale. Setting up "zoonotic research hubs" would be vastly superior to GVP if done correctly. GVP is just a money grab.
