“So she shouldn’t have told us the truth about what was going on, right?”

Really...no. Medical confidentiality is applied at all levels of our justice system. And what happens in the military medicine world not being made public, or partially let out, should have been handled at that level, not in a civilian court. And when she has to go public with the people she was told not to talk about, it violates that trust as saying it happens requires proof, not conjecture.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), Public Law 104-191, was enacted on August 21, 1996 to cover this problem. The Privacy Rule protects all “individually identifiable health information” held or transmitted by a covered entity or its business associate, in any form or media, whether electronic, paper, or oral.

If she had gone to the lowest level of the command and voiced her concerns, among people with the need to know and clearance, it would have been done differently. But the inner workings of the military are none of the public’s business as they have just enough information to guess at what happened disregarding privacy like the doctor did. She broke both military and civilian law,

Medical confidentiality my foot.

That’s for individuals regarding private health care information.

You’re a good little nazi there.

I could not infer the name of anyone who suffered vaccine death or injury. I’m not seeing how HIPAA applies here.
