The shiny (and useless) framework of Nextstrain [purported database of "varients"] is partly open source (you need their permissions anyway to use anything). The framework only fullfils certain "narrative" functions, and "data visualisation"-tasks.
The main point is nevertheless: The data is obtained and based upon GISAID, and those data-sets are the opposite of "open source", and are monopolised literally by GISAID. In other words: They are monopolising SARS-CoV-2 genomic data sets.
When Dr. James Taylor mentioned this several times on social media, he died conveniently a few days later. (40 years old, died April 2nd, 2020)
Richard Neher and Trevor Bedford (primary heads of Nextstrain) both sit in the scientific board of GISAID, so basically the two "leaders" of "Nextstrain" are also filling primary positions at GISAID.
All data-sets on nextstrain are based upon GISAID data-sets. Period.
Both platforms are financed via Gates Foundation.

Here you can find the official website of Peter Bogner - former MTV Germany Producer - who is now "CEO / Initiator / 1st Head of GISAID":
The final goal is to evolve humanity into cannibal killer animals.
The foolish joke known as rationality and the human nature (as we know it) will no longer exist.
Pandemic = Isolation = Removal of social and humanitarian norms > Mass social degradation and mass self-termination.
