This video explains how your medical data is shared without your consent.
Been telling people for years that you shouldn’t tell your doctor anything you want kept completely private. They always planned to get access for government databases. Plus, healthcare systems are notorious for security breaches.
So what don’t tell your doctor your issues and just hope it gets cured.
That’s actually one of the most unfortunate parts of this. When you’re at the doctor, you’re incredibly vulnerable and need care. We shouldn’t have a society where people have to censor themselves for privacy reasons, but today we do. The best solution is to push for a state medical privacy law at least as strong as Minnesota’s.
More like weigh the potential benefit with the potential risk.
I know it sounds wild, but now everyone’s medical data is going to be fed to Palantir, and RFK jr wants to put mentally ill people into camps. Are you comfortable with every mental health survey you’ve taken at appointments being in his hands? Do you think people with drug use in their medical history are going to feel comfortable with their health data being filtered through an AI selecting targets?
I mean, you’re seeing the same news we are. Still think I was being too paranoid?
General public: I’m going to make wild assumptions about something I don’t know anything about, and also spend 0 time verifying if my assumptions are correct.
