All roads lead to genomics
Dido Harding’s was chair of Genomics England
Palantir rptdly taught #CambridgeAnalytica to scrape data
Is the #NHSDataGrab really about about population-wide genomic data?
Complete control?
Bell-Curve eugenicist’s wet dream?

“We could close our eyes & pretend that contrary to all the evidence, #Palantir is a rights-respecting company or we can call this façade what it is: another company placing profit over people, no matter the human cost.” Michael Kleinman, @amnestyusa
The #NHSDataGrab has been underway since Oct 2020 (see Tweet👇)
Why was it ignored for the last 8 months?
News editors, journalists & politicians appeared to be unwilling to report it
It’s great that the #PalantirPlan is now getting wide coverage, but are we already too late?

Also ignored by the media has been #GenomeUK, launched quietly in Sept 2020
This 10-year strategy puts genomics at the heart of the NHS & at the heart of the entire programme for govt
It was launched on a Saturday (bizarre!) with zero coverage or fanfare

We already know that Big Tech mine & sell our data, but the new frontier lies not in our consumer behaviour, but in our biological selves
People like Cummings & #Palantir’s Peter Thiel believe that our fates lie in our genes, not in the stars
But who controls that fate?

Advances in genetics have huge potential social & cost benefits
Genome editing of somatic cells isn’t passed from one generation to the next
But germline genome editing can pass changes to future generations & could reshape human beings & our societies.
