Wikipedia: During the manhunt for Osama bin Laden, the CIA ran a covert operation utilizing a fake hepatitis vaccine program in Pakistan to illicitly collect blood samples to confirm the presence of bin Laden or his family. The CIA recruited physician Shakil Afridi to administer hepatitis vaccines, and used the collected DNA to compare with the DNA of bin Laden's sister, who died in Boston in 2010.
The program was successful in locating Osama bin Laden... link
You object because this tactic was used to locate bin Laden?
The article goes on to say, "The program was successful in locating Osama bin Laden but resulted in negative fallout. It led to the arrest of a participating physician, Shakil Afridi, and was widely ridiculed as undermining public health. The program is credited with increasing vaccine hesitancy in Pakistan and a rise in violence against healthcare workers for being perceived as spies. The rise in vaccine hesitancy following the program led to the re-emergence of polio in Pakistan, with Pakistan having by far the largest number of polio cases in the world by 2014".
But I can't imagine that is something you care about IN THE LEAST.

Is that what they're doing? They're not collecting biometric data for heredity.com?

How much biometric information of yours does the CIA have access to (thanks Covid)?
