Nah. This is another puff piece on the #WaitingList pilot, details of which @NHSEngland published - without daring to mention @PalantirTech - over ten months ago...

england.nhs.uk/coronavirus/wp…
To be clear, 30 individual NHS Trusts* are using #Palantir #Foundry to manage elective care waiting lists, not patients' entire medical histories - largely by what Ministers have called "cleansing" the data:

The timing (and placement) of the piece is, however, quite obvious - with the tender for @NHEngland's "#FederatedDataPlatform" imminent.
And the #FDP - whether awarded to #Palantir or otherwise - is most definitely something people will have concerns about, especially given...

First, and possibly most significantly, is @NHSEngland officials' confirmation that its '#FederatedDataPlatform' will incorporate patients across England's #SharedCareRecords:
Why is this so important? Because #SharedCareRecords - which every new #ICS* is supposed to have - include your #GPdata, which @NHSEngland has been trying to get hold of for years (most recently last summer)...

For me, my investigation began by chance on 8/3/20 when I stumbled on @BorisJohnson’s interview with @Schofe & @hollywills where he said “one theory is we could #TakeItOnTheChin”
I clipped it & it went viral
Ironically, this was also the same day as first Briton died of #COVID

As #COVID19 hit, every epidemiologist/virologist made clear #HerdImmunity without a vaccine was an “outcome” not a “strategy”
Every behaviourist made clear “behavioural fatigue” was unscientific
Every expert knew about asymptomatic spread in Feb 2020

In the mid-20th century, satellites helped us determine the exact circumference of the Earth: 40,030km
But 2000+ years earlier, Eratosthenes
a Greek mathematician, came up with nearly the exact same figure using two sticks & his brain

I once asked “how is it that all scientists aren’t mystics, all cosmologists not poets?”
Carl Sagan was both of these
This passage - Pale Blue Dot - was inspired by the photo of Earth taken in 1990, by the Voyager 1 from a distance of about 6 billion km.

It didn’t apply "when there is an overridinng public interest...for example, to help manage contagious diseases like #COVID19”
So there was NO opt out & NO media coverage.
