Just as it is helpful to see a visualisation of the #ContractScandal, so it’s helpful to see a visualisation of the wider structure into which it fits
The shadowy surveillance firm, #Palantir, run #COVID digital health platforms In the UK, US & many other countries
Data heaven!

What this diagram shows is how the US & UK govts appear to have a joint/parallel #COVID19 strategy allowing the military-backed data-mining company, #Palantir, to access heath data

In Sept, govt quietly launched #GenomeUK
Genome research has HUGE potential social & cost benefits, not just in medicine
In the right hands & with appropriate checks & balances it is crucial
But when companies connected with #CambridgeAnalyica are involved, scrutiny is needed.

Dominic Cummings may be leaving his govt position but he won’t be leaving govt
He will work on the UK’s #COVID19 strategy as a govt employee until December & will probably continue to do so from the private sector, away from the scrutiny of public life.

Cummings was central to the govt’s #HerdImmunity strategy
At the SAGE meeting on 27 Feb, the Reasonable Worst Case was estimated at around 500,000 death without lockdown
#Cummings attended SAGE for the first time on 5 March
Despite the scientific evidence, lockdown was delayed

The danger we are facing is summed up by Carl Sagan.
“We’ve arranged a society based on science & technology, in which nobody understands anything about science and technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance & power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces.”
