What I did not know is the Andrew wakefield is now shagging Elle McPherson.

She's been injected with something she shouldn't have?

You subscribe to the Telegraph? I can understand why they are upset 🙂

And is baying for blood better or worse than paying for swabs?

I suspect that they will get a big fine if they have sold any data.
Explicit consent means exactly that, it has to be clear and understandable.
For a trial a patient will normally sit with a doctor or trial nurse and go through the whole form before they can consider to be informed.
Hiding it in a privacy Notice should get them a massive kicking as it breaches a number of regulations. I need to see if this would fall under gcp as it is real world evidence but it likely would breach privacy as seems to be being investigated

That article is a) troubling if true but b) vague as shit.

Note: I am not a subscriber, I heard it on the radio and via annoyed relative so googled.

I can't find anything else, but I have actually used this company so I am double annoyed.

5plusn8 - if you have used cignpost then I suggest you ask them (a) for all the data they hold on you (Subject Access Record under the 2018 DPA is now free); (b) advise them that any consent you may have given them to use any of your data is now withdrawn [consent must be withdrawable at any time - there's no way they'll have the mechanisms in place to do this easily and will cause them a heap of pain, with them probably redefining their lawful basis for processing and digging them a huge hole with the ICO].

I suspect they've not actually sold or passed on the samples yet - and will avoid a fine by telling the ICO it was just a misunderstanding and of course they wouldn't do that!

As for your angry relative - at the start of the thread he was refusing to even do his own antigen test, and now he's used cignpost who are only doing paid traveller testing, and he was worried enough to risk his job 9 months ago but not worried enough to actually read the privacy notice / T&Cs the commercial company gave him? However, the fact this is a news story and the ICO are investigating is exactly why he needn't be too concerned. If it was quietly happening with no fuss it would be way more alarming.

The story was more widely reported than the telegraph when it broke a few weeks ago.

I don't actually think he has used Cignpost, it just doesn't help when people don't trust any of it in the first palce...

On the vaccines thing:

Yes, there is limited evidence that in rare cases vaccines can be harmful.

Yes, in the case of the AZ vaccine, predominately in women between 55 and 60, there have been 72 cases in the U.K. AFAIK.

I’m convinced that’s what happened to Joey, my late g/f - the consultant at Southmead Hospital couldn’t understand why she’d suffered a cerebral venus thrombosis when she had an abnormally low blood platelet level. It was only a month later that low blood platelet levels were a symptom, but if identified in time there was a treatment readily available. Sadly, the signs were masked by Joey having pre-existing conditions that produced the same or very similar symptoms, like headaches, migraines, and mild seizures, as a result of a sub-arachnoid haemorrhage thirteen yeas ago.

For a younger male, the chances are highly unlikely, and since the signs have become known, I don’t think there have been any further cases.
