1/. “Palantir expects sales to grow 43% in the second quarter”
#Palantir, run by right-wing billionaire Peter Thiel, won the contract to build the #COVID data store for US Health Dept (HHS) & a similar contract in the UK for the NHS in mid-April 2020. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

2/. #Palantir, a shadowy CIA-backed company, reportedly taught #CambridgeAnalytica data-scraping
They won the NHS data-store contract together with
#FacultyAI set-up by Ben & Marc Warner
FacultyAI worked for #LeaveEU & 2019 emails show Cambridge Analytica did work for them too

3/. The NHS is the most trusted brand in Britain.
#CambridgeAnalytica is the least trusted
Granting two companies with links to Cambridge Analytica access to population-wide NHS health data, should give cause for concern
Are #Palantir doing the same in dozens of countries?

4/. In Sept 2020, the UK launched a ten-year strategy, #GenomeUK, which will transform the NHS & put genomics at the heart of the PM’s programme for govt
Incredibly it was launched quietly (on a Saturday!) & received no media coverage

5/. In the coming decades, genomics will reshape our societies
Population-wide genomic data is the first step
Was the PM alluding to genomics in his “UK as Superman” #GreenwichSpeech?
In the right hands & properly regulated, they’re a force for good
But in the wrong hands...

6/. But we don’t have to wait decades
As well as the unnoticed launch of #GenomeUK
The Dept of Trade sent out this “invitation to invest”
“The UK offers companies... increasingly expanding access to rich longitudinal data from the NHS’s 65 million patients” for “life sciences”
