I could not infer the name of anyone who suffered vaccine death or injury. I’m not seeing how HIPAA applies here.
Medical ethics rules, state laws, and the federal law known as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), generally require doctors and their staff to keep patients’ medical records confidential unless the patient allows the doctor’s office to disclose them.
If the patient has suffered some traumatic injury and cannot make medical decisions for themselves, the doctor may discuss the patient’s medical information with their next of kin. The family member will often need this information so they can make an informed decision about the next steps in medical treatment. If the patient has a living will or a healthcare power of attorney, the doctor may only discuss the patient’s condition with the people named in those documents.
Even in cases not involving traumatic injuries, HIPAA allows doctors to share patient information and records with other health care providers as necessary for their health and treatment. They may also discuss a patient’s condition with family, relatives, and friends that the patient identifies as being involved in their healthcare (unless the patient objects). However, health care providers generally can’t share personal medical information and records with providers who aren’t involved in the patient’s care, unless all personal identifiable information is removed.
But no where can I find, or have I seen any release of medical records or patient history to anyone that is not a relative. Only a doctor concerning care or a specified friend identified by the patient . And if the patient is capable to handle his/her care, everyone except doctoral care for the patient is taken out.
If she is going to make the statement, especially a public one, and not provide instances of proof, her information is heresay and means nothing. And that will handle the civilian part of the trial and make her information invalid as opinions are not automatically truth. But if she provides information of a patient’s health to someone else to back her claim, she is violating HIPAA.
