1/. @MattHancock on #r4today claims he pushed back the GP #DataGrab by two months
@MishalHusain fails to point out that it is 8 MONTHS since the FIRST deadline passed to “opt out” of another NHS patient data sharing scheme!
Our data iseven advertised by the Dept of Trade!👇

2/. The “opt out” from having your NHS patient data shared with pharmaceutical companies was 30 Sept 2020
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.

3/. Last Wednesday #MattHancock claimed that GP’s having exclusive control of patient data is “undemocratic”
Instead he says he wants every citizen to “control their own data” (!?)
That may sound great, but how would that work in practice?
I trust my GP
I don’t trust Hancock

4/. @MattHancock side steps @MishalHusain’s question about human rights concerns about the CIA-founded, spy-tech, genomics firm #Palantir
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.

5/. The NHS = the most trusted brand in the UK
Cambridge Analytica = the least trusted
And yet #Palantir who run our #COVID19 data store rprtdly taught #CambridgeAnalytica how to scrape data
It is great that some mainstream journalists are finally starting to get up to speed

7/. Take look at what the govt has been doing over the last months
@MattHancock & his lieutenants have been telling us the plan is about saving lives – while giving themselves the right to share our data with whoever they want & fudging legal protections.
