Boris recently got married. His view on stamping out Covid was to pretend its a game Wack-a-mole. The rest is simple. Your medical data doesn't really have commercial value does it?

Nope still.......Wooosh.

Well, a bit of civility is always preferable I suppose. I was just suggesting that the internet and forums seem to attract keyboard warriors, funny that eh?
You can switch off, walk away, ignore etc. If you’re a bit sensitive/touchy or just don’t like being abused then getting involved in forum spats is probably not a great choice, but it is a personal choice.

 

 

Mull I’m finding myself agreeing with you more and more. Worrying times

Yes, that just won’t do johnsond[emoji38], I’m sure we’ll find something to disagree about in the not too distant future, then we can be abusive to each other and maybe even get upset.

In a nutshell yes, your medical data has immense commercial value. Access to it has the potential to allow people to make money by either selling you something or denying you something.

Mark I’m afraid to say so much has been done under the cover of covid and saving us  from the dreaded virus with the support of all the parties, in fact Labour have often wanted more draconian actions so I think trying to make political capital from any of this is pointless,  the compliance to some of these actions has been nearly 100% those whom have questioned it have been vilified bud as well you know even on here, Easy to give power very hard to get it back I think we will see going forward. 

 

It seems to me that the problem here is a bent government whose top members, (operative word!), take every single opportunity to pursue their own nefarious ends. Not Covid per se. If it wasn't for a global pandemic then it would be other situations that they would be exploiting.

 

Here's a couple of salient points from the cited article.

 

""Neither the British Medical Association nor the Royal College of GPs have endorsed this process. "" - the people that actually have to deal with the consequences of this virus.

 

""In fact, this approach is really now so endemic in Boris Johnson’s government that it must be regarded as the official playbook: withholding vital information from the public, transparency-free procurement, secretive contracts, a pathological aversion to any kind of scrutiny – then telling anyone that finds out about it that it’s in their best interests and that they absolutely refuse to apologise for that. After the past 14 months, it would take a very big database indeed to store all the things for which the government absolutely refuses to apologise."" - sounds horribly familiar doesn't it?
