"Concerns were raised after the prime minister unveiled the "moonshot" approach to returning to normal lives, which includes testing millions of people per day."
"Leaked government documents show that this approach could cost £100 billion, with minister Grant Shapps confirming that the technology does NOT currently exist."
Maybe someone ought to closely examine the flawed ideology blindly trusted by #LiarJohnson, #Cummings and #Hancock!!
“I’ve seen for myself the use of machine learning to improve the diagnosis of cancer in collaboration with oncologists,” Mr Hancock said.
“I’ve seen the ability of a machine learning tool to be able to highlight the areas that need to be taken in an operation of cancer surgery."
#Hancock might as well have said, 'I've seen the light!'
It is folly to gamble the health and lives of citizens on untested technology - not yet even in existence!
#LiarJohnson and UK Government need to focus on their key obligation, to provide effective governance!
"Strive Not to be a Success but, rather To Be of Value"!
- Albert Einstein
Although, some might correctly add, this is NOT Rocket Science!
WHAT are the questions that #LiarJohnson and UK Government seek to answer with technology?
Technology is not a solution in of itself!!
To use technology effectively, there must FIRST be understanding!!
The computing profession is awash with runaway technology projects that failed to deliver effective tangible outcomes and were little more than 'pet projects', such as those championed by the 'unelected' adviser, #Cummings; self-styled rebel, found in contempt of Parliament!
MY data is MY data; not for sale, manipulation or exploitation, for or against my best interests, without MY consent!!
Capitalists desire freedom from EU tax rules BUT #LiarJohnson seeks freedom from ALL rules, particularly EU GDPR (Data Protection) - a flawed worldview!
*GDPR is critically valid in today's world, to protect citizens worldwide against threats from corrupt and illegal manipulation and exploitation.
No country ought to seek to circumvent measures designed to safeguard and protect ALL citizens; a primary obligation of government!
@UnrollHelper "Liz Truss’s and Kwasi Kwarteng’s 2012 free-market treatise Britannia Unchained has shot up the sales charts, hitting the top spot on Amazon rankings for books on “economic conditions”. It costs £19.55 for the paperback."
@UnrollHelper Ought to come with a health warning for the nation's economy!
@UnrollHelper “The key is to make sure that failure is survivable,” is one of the book’s insights. “In the early stages of a project, failure need not be a disaster.”
"This is likely to provide scant consolation to Tory MPs facing the threat of losing their seats at the next election."
"The ecological destruction Liz Truss plans to unleash on this country is not collateral damage. It is not a byproduct of her economic programme. It’s a mark of true faith, a sign that she is following her ideology to the letter."
"For fundamental to this doctrine – neoliberalism – is the belief that everything on Earth can and should be turned into something else."
"Rather than seeking to protect the soil – the delicate ecosystem from which 99% of our calories are produced – Hayek says it makes sense to extract as much value as it can produce, exhaust it “once and for all”, then abandon the land."
@chalemedia@acgrayling Following the links on the above article highlights three significant articles that are relevant to #LiarJohnson's ever-changing role and positions before and after Brexit, to better serve his political ambitions - to the cost of everyone else!
"As the virus accelerates it evolution, the humans capitulate. For two and a half years, the virus has been outrunning our response, getting progressively more and more transmissible, reaching a level of infectiousness that few pathogens have ever attained."
"Instead of taking a stance of getting ahead of the virus, and out-smarting it, people have succumbed."
Some may think humans are an infinite resource, i.e. plenty more where they come from.
However, it takes many years/cost for each new life to reach maturity/productivity.
"As we watch the virus strikingly improve its ability to find new or repeat hosts, you would think it would be considered an urgent call for action."
