When someone offers iron clad assurances that your private data will not be collected and exploited, assume they are lying;
In a flagrant violation of patients’ medical privacy that has just come to light, the British government has admitted to collecting and using smartphone data to analyze their activity without disclosing it as part of a vaccination study.
A report by the Independent Scientific Pandemic Insights Group on Behaviours claimed researchers from the University of Oxford discreetly used data from mobile phones as part of their study into how vaccination affected the lifestyles’ of patients. The report was first cited by the Telegraph.
SPI-B advises the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies, better known as SAGE, which is responsible for advising the government and has played a key role in the UK’s battle against COVID. Oxford, which helped develop a vaccine alongside British-Swedish pharmaceutical firm AstraZeneca, was responsible for collecting the data.
The massive study involved scientists digging through cell phone records for 10% of the British population in February to single out a group of roughly 4,250 who were monitored more closely for insights about vaccination’s impact on individual lifestyle.

There exist smart phones that do not track you, at least not any more than a flip-phone does. The Pinephone and the Librem 5 come to mind.
So, how many Canadians will refuse to accept a vaccine traceable passport? Nothing can track you if you don’t carry it.
Exactly. I will get a paper version. Leave the mobile phone at home and call people on land phones. Why install apps? Get in the car and see people in person.
Text messages are usually not useful except for meet-ups. Who wants calls when busy?
Both of which are currently development platforms, not working phones.
Both of which can make and receive calls and send and receive texts, and take photos, and browse web pages.
yeahBUTT, and they can still be tracked, it’s that you don’t understand how they can do that!
Subsystems on these phones have separated circuitry with physical switches to turn them off, as well as removable batteries. It is possible to carry them without being tracked. If you are using them, tracking may be limited to cell triangulation, which is at least the crudest form and doesn’t perform the advanced data collection functions of Google or Apple.
They may not be fully baked yet, but that does not imply that they are not valuable projects.
Same as my $30 Linux based flip phone. That’s not what you spend hundreds of dollars on a tablet phone for.
The only use your betters have for information on you is to take your money, eliminate you as a threat, or both.
Health care? The important people have access to doctors who take a king’s ransom, in cash, to ensure the important people actually get better. Those doctors actually know what they’re doing, and can be trusted to keep their yaps shut. (Yes, they are either white or Chinese. Either way they speak excellent English.)
They can order hearts, lungs, livers and kidneys from Xinjiang with a week’s notice, freeing them to enjoy fine cigars and fine Scotch at your expense.
They even have access to real, safe and effective Wuhan flu vaccines, the ones received by the CCP Politburo in advance of the release of Wuhan flu into the environment.
Any problem with the health care proles receive is never going to affect them personally. So if they collect information on the health of proles, it’s to help calculate and manage the cost of breakage and breakdowns.
Anyone ever hear a government official or a measly bureaucrat promise to tell the truth to the citizenry?
Kate is now going to have to apologize to the Italics…
That was bold of you, Buddy
He is a man of some character, indeed.
Wasn’t Gormley admitting a week or two back, that the Canadian Covid Tracking App was being used in much the same way. He put it on his own phone, wanting to be in the hip crowd with all the new gadgets, hoping the App would save him from Covid, then a year later he finds out the government has been collecting data on him, other than Covid related. It was too funny listening to him, how he was going to be a good little Canadian with his App, now he says he deleted it off his phone(or so he thinks, lol)
It’s not as if anybody collecting your private data can guarantee it’s going to stay private, privacy protections are notoriously lax in applications where privacy protections aren’t the point of the application. I’m not planning on using your data for any nefarious purposes, why would anybody else? I’m sure it will be fine sitting here in an unlocked filing cabinet as long as I put this “Top Secret – No Peeking” sign on it.
Stupid peons
Don’t you know,once some brave bureaucrat collects your data..It is no longer yours.
It becomes the private property of said minion to do as it feels with.
Did you miss the observation that you live in a Kleptocracy?
Dr. Faustus after he gave his Senate testimony. He financed Wuhan Labs. through NIAID and NIH. Disgusting, WTF was he thinking? He IS Faustus but he may very soon be happy to be ostracized if any of the covid shit sticks.

Faustus should become a pariah.
Speaking of lying. About that spike protein:

I love Alexis P.
Listen to her on 640 AM in the evenings.
Other than John Oakley she is the lone dissenter on that station , now that Gary the ” Space Conspiracy Guy ” is gone.
She has to toe a very fine line not to piss off her employer.
I get the feeling she holds back a lot of her really true opinions on this WuFlu madness.
It does sometimes bleed through in her commentary.
She does ask the ” Right Fucking Questions ” .
