Is this credible though?

Yes. From Datavants own web site..

Launched in 2020, the COVID-19 Research Database (informally, the RDB) began as a partnership of more than a dozen not-for-profit and commercial health data organizations with a desire to pool resources to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. Using Datavant’s data de-identification and tokenization, the collaborating organizations tokenized their cohort data — including electronic health records (EHR), claims, social determinants of health, long-term post-acute care, and specialty disease data — and contributed it to a centralized repository where academic researchers could apply for access to study the impacts of COVID-19.

The monumental RDB infrastructure was stood-up in 6 weeks in 2020 and immediately pushed the envelope of linked health data. Prior to the RDB, there existed no other centralized repository containing data from such a broad variety of sources, on more than 300 million patients, in which tokens enabled linking.
