Where was HIPAA when everyone was up in our business over whether or not we got injected? Everybody and their brother wanted to pry into that personal medical decision. No rules applied when it came to being a lab rat for big pharma.
We’ll said!! This made no sense whatsoever 😡. The disclosure of one’s personal and private medical information to anyone outside their confidential medical team of doctors without authorization via written consent is completely ILLEGAL. Had anyone ever in their life been illegally forced “publicly” to disclose any medical information to get into restaurants, bars, etc. ever in US history? It as if HIPPA rules conveniently took a backseat!! As one of the many Biden administration’s lawless push measures, it was used as a pathway that allowed countless propaganda tv and social media attacks pitting the vaccinated against the unvaccinated perpetrating those ILLEGAL PASSPORTS. Unreal 🙄. (🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳 was behind it all.) This is how many knew from the start that this was all BS. It was an illegal control mechanism being pushed on THE PEOPLE. Congress needs to make new laws that prohibits this illegal, unconstitutional nonsense to ever happen again. Same for those unconstitutional mandates. Hospital Administrations need to be severely reprimanded as well. No one should ever forget how this blatant communist, Orwellian tactic was used as a divisive tool to ultimately force control. They never will apologize either.
PS In case anyone here in the comments section was wondering:
HIPAA is the Health Insurance Portability and Accountablity Act of 1996. (USA)
"The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) required the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to develop regulations protecting the privacy and security of certain health information. To fulfill this requirement, HHS published what are commonly known as the HIPAA Privacy Rule and the HIPAA Security Rule. The Privacy Rule, or Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information, establishes national standards for the protection of certain health information. The Security Standards for the Protection of Electronic Protected Health Information (the Security Rule) establish a national set of security standards for protecting certain health information that is held or transferred in electronic form. The Security Rule operationalizes the protections contained in the Privacy Rule by addressing the technical and non-technical safeguards that organizations called "covered entities" must put in place to secure individuals' "electronic protected health information" (e-PHI). Within HHS, the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) has responsibility for enforcing the Privacy and Security Rules with voluntary compliance activities and civil money penalties."
I worked for the Cleveland Clinic for 13 years. For those who may not know CCF (Cleveland Clinic Foundation) is one of the largest Hospital systems in the world. Best known for excellence in cardiac surgery (the area I worked in).
CCF is neck and neck with Walmart as the largest employer in Ohio. My campus employed 20,000 people. My parking garage (one of many) housed 4,000 cars. Kind of a big deal.
My point is, I had security access to virtually everything everywhere including all departments, electronic medical records, billing, compliance, you name it.
Yet I can’t tell you how many meetings I was in where I was warned that Federal Law under HIPAA I wasn’t even allowed to look up my own medical records, let alone my wife’s, family members, etc.
I would be audited periodically to ensure I was sticking to protocol under threat of termination of employment and potential Federal legal implications.
So imagine my shock in 2020 when it all went out the window. Same as Nuremberg, Informed Consent, Right to Privacy, etc.
As far as I’m concerned the Pandemic made a joke out of HIPAA and teaches us that when enforcement is cherry picked to serve vested interests laws that were once deemed vitally important become meaningless.
George Soros learned that changing laws is hard. He learned it is more efficient buy elections to place people in key positions who would simply not enforce existing law.
We saw the results in NYC, Portland, Seattle, Los Angeles, San Francisco, etc. Q: What exactly is an “illegal” immigrant anyway?
The flouting of rule of law is capturing the imagination of many, same as the dissolution of property rights and dismissal of God for technology.
Once respect for the law and property is gone and technology becomes our religion, what’s left is unthinkable behaviors that devolve into chaos, anarchy, destruction and probable civil war.
Call me z28/310 And I’m not a muscle car guy. If ever I end up in ‘medical care’, the fact that I’m not vaccinated for this military countermeasure gets highlighted.
We should take your response from the Health Agencies using the 'oft-cited HIPPA' and apply it to a class action lawsuit as it relates to the public's private health information. Our health information was not protected behind a secretive government agency. Having to carry and show a vaccination passport for starters. The many and varied ways our DNA was collected nasally by force via PCR testing, is another. Sharing and selling our blood testing, vaccination, and general health data was handed to many and varied different companies and institutions with little to no control over that by the hapless public ensnared into an exceedingly abusive process. We are little more than research rats.
Absolutely correct. Historically the worst crimes governments/bureaucrats/military/law enforcement get away with on hapless citizens are the ones that go unchallenged. It’s classic bullying. They gut punch us then sit back saying whaddya gonna do about it?! The only way to claw back the dignity they stole is by FIGHTING BACK. Punching back either literally or figuratively is the ONLY language they understand.
One question I doubt we'll ever see the answer to, but it's highly relevant: Of the ones who died of covid, supposedly, how many were given the isolation + remdesivir + sedatives + lie-in-your-filth + dehydration + starvation treatment? Never mind the ventilators.
My bet is, almost all of the covid deaths; they were likely killed by underlying (or hospital acquired) bacterial pneumonia, neglect and malfeasance (and I consider the CDC covid protocols malfeasance). Had these patients been treated appropriately for bacterial pneumonia, and at the very least given hydration and nutrition, hygiene care, and the solace of family, many would have lived.
Yes, I am saying that I think a lot of people were essentially murdered in the hospitals. On this, I point to the 2021 testimony of veteran pulmonary nurse Albert Spence before the South Carolina Senate:
And, as many readers here in this comments section probably already know, there's an avalanche of confirming testimonies from nurses, bereaved families, and survivors of the covid wards on other sites.
What I find peculiar is that of the covidians in my circles, there seems to be powerful inclination to blame deaths on covid when there isn't actually a reason to do so. One example: Recently a multiply jabbed friend passed away of pneumonia and sepsis— this cause of death was very clear, announced by his family, but then, to my astonishment, I heard people at a remove insisting that he had died of covid! I also heard my local covidians dredge up, as evidence of the horrors of the great pandemic, someone who supposedly passed away of covid, who, I knew for a fact, had died of a heart attack in 2018.
How many people that landed in a hospital suffering from a respiratory illness that tested PCR positive for Covid received a differential diagnosis?
PCR can only detect the presence of Covid-19 molecule(s) wiped off the swabbed area. But it does not validate that Covid is the thing that’s making the patient sick.
Maybe the patient is actually suffering from bacterial pneumonia? Bronchitis? Influenza? Thus whisking them into an immediate financially incentivized Covid protocol would be barking up the wrong tree.
I think some doctor’s offices may have done flu testing but how many remains a mystery. I have serious doubts that many, if any, hospitals were testing for anything once PCR indicated the presence of Covid.
Indeed. Back in 2021 veteran pulmonary nurse Albert Spence stated in his testimony before the South Carolina state senate that people coming into the hospital with lung infections were normally given tests to determine which type they had, so that medication could be selected for them accordingly-- but once covid appeared on the scene, all of a sudden, apart from tests for covid, no tests were being given to pulmonary patients at all! So it seems a lot of patients had bacterial pneumonia in addition to covid (or instead of covid, assuming the test was inaccurate), or later contracted hospital pneumonia, were left untreated, when normally they would have been treated, and so died unnecessarily.

PS I wouldn't call it a mistake so much as I would malfeasance.
I once had a business associate and friend whom I lost touch with due to job and life changes. I really liked him and his wife and fully intended to rekindle our friendship. Looked forward to it, in fact. Last year I was shocked to learn through a mutual acquaintance he was dead. Bacterial pneumonia. This guy was a weight lifter. Always smiling. Picture of health. I still have a hard time believing he’s gone. The acquaintance that told me of his death still drives by the deceased’s house on the way home from work. Told me he chokes up every time. I’m pissed off because I feel like if I’d been in touch maybe I could’ve saved him. I’ve got a head full of knowledge and a cabinet full of Ivermectin. Fucking Fauci will rot in hell.
Australia has had three high-profile left-wing politicians die suddenly of heart attacks or turbo cancers recently, plus high-profile covidian doctors.
Authorities will keep the lid on this whole debacle for as long as possible. I just looked at the worldometer site and this is what is says as of Feb. 29, 2024 for the US: Corona Virus cases: 111,533,330 - Deaths - 1,216,273, and Recovered - 109,260,712. The whole system of counting is flawed. The numbers scrolling across the tv screen in 2020 incited so much fear in people - rather than questioning - that they will never be the same. Know anyone getting another booster now? I know of two that are blindly getting another - even after having had some serious effects from past jabs that they won't recognize as it being the culprit.
I wonder how many employees at public health agencies took the most sacred miracle elixir that was so "safe and effective" it stopped Covid dead in it's tracks.
Great follow-up question, one that I'll ask. I don't think I'll get an answer, but I can ask and then when I don't get an answer, I can report the non-answer on my Substack.
In my fire department of 700+ employees, zero died from Covid. However, there were some retirements due to cardiac issues, but I am sure that is just a coincidence.
Thanks, Dr. K. I haven't researched the legalities of who is subject to HIPPA and who isn't. That does need to be pointed out if you are right, which I'm sure you are.
HIPAA is a health care data protection scheme restricted to health care delivery and payment entities. It does not apply broadly to those who are not directly providing or paying for care of individuals. It clearly does not apply to answering the questions you were asking. The specifics:
HIPAA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, applies to a variety of entities involved in the healthcare sector. These entities are broadly classified into two groups:
Covered Entities: These include:
Health Plans: Insurance companies, HMOs, employer-sponsored health plans, and government programs like Medicare and Medicaid that pay for health care.
Health Care Providers: Doctors, clinics, hospitals, nursing homes, pharmacies, and dentists who transmit any health information in electronic form in connection with transactions for which the Department of Health and Human Services has adopted standards.
Health Care Clearinghouses: Entities that process nonstandard health information they receive from another entity into a standard (i.e., standard electronic format or data content), or vice versa.
Business Associates: These are individuals or entities that perform certain functions or activities that involve the use or disclosure of protected health information on behalf of, or provides services to, a covered entity. This category can include a wide range of businesses, such as billing companies, consultants, IT providers, and attorneys who have access to protected health information.
Great info, Dr. K. Thank you very much. What we have here then is another fib designed to conceal info that would not support the authorized narrative.
It's not just the ADPH that uses this excuse all the time on a variety of questions where no private health info would be disclosed.
For example, I once asked the spokesperson for the SEC (sports league) several questions about all the athletes who had to get tested with a PCR test three or four times a week. One of my questions was "what percentage of these tests were asymptomatic athletes?" Another question was how many athletes have. died or been hospitalized from Covid?
I'll have to go back and check my email response, but I think I got the same answer: We can't disclose that info for HIPPA and medical privacy reasons.
Also, the ADPH wouldn't tell me how many Alabama children had died from Covid by a certain date! And yet this agency dang sure encourages all parents to get their child vaccinated - even though they won't release definitive data on how many children actually or perhaps died from Covid.
If the number is zero or tiny (which it no doubt is), this would show that Covid is not a mortality risk to healthy children. Which means no child needs to be vaccinated.
Before Covid, as far as I can tell, the Ala Dept of Public Health existed solely to promote the annual flu shots. I should have asked, in the last 10 years, how many ADPH employees have died from the Flu? Is this percentage more or less than 0.1 percent? Has any ADPH employee ever died from the flu?
I could ask the same thing of all 8 groups I highlighted in this article. For example, how many college and pro athletes have died from the flu in the last 10 years? (I know that 100 percent of athletes are NOT getting their flu shots every year. The stats say only about 50 percent of the population gets these shots).
If the ADPH did answer the "flu death" question, they might say, "the fact we had no one die from the flu is proof that the flu shots work." But the flu shots don't work in most years (often their "effectiveness" is proven to be 15 or 20 percent for that year's flu strains). And I doubt that 100 percent of ADPH employees are getting their flu shots. If, say, 25 percent of employees don't get them, why didn't nobody in this non-flu shot cohort die from the flu in the last 10 years?
As a poster below points out, my next question needs to be what percentage of ADPH employees are fully vaccinated against Covid?
And I wouldn't be suprised if some vaccinated employees have passed away by now, perhaps from vaccine injuries.
In pre-convid science, there used to be a difference between CFR and IFR. So they put out that number of 3.4%. What horror, if you are infected with coronavirus, your chance of dying is 3.4%. Wrong. It means if you are declared a "case", then your chance of dying is 3.4% because that's the CFR. So, strictly speaking, that number was correct at that time, but what most people didn't realize is that the IFR must be lower because an unknown number infections must have remained undetected. But nobody seemed to bother, and according to The Science™, it's now all the same anyway. An infection is a "case" and a healthy person is "asymptomatic" and "died with" is the same as "died from". What a mess.
For the record: In the article "A fiasco in the making" which was published on March 17, 2020, John P.A. Ioannidis estimated an IFR around 0.3%. As it turns out, that estimate wasn't far off. But it didn't matter anymore because the masses had already been programmed to believe that the plague of all plagues is upon us, and scaring people is much easier than to un-scare them. Welcome to the mass formation.
Approximately 2000 patients in my general practice, skewing toward older( 30 years in practice). None died of covid .
1 elderly but healthy patient died 1 week after an I’ll advised booster- family told it was covid. 1 died in hospital 3 weeks after admission. He was walking around recovering then died suddenly. He had a congenital lung diseases.
To your point, the IFR was never even close to what they were projecting. Our medical “ leaders” are mostly self serving lackeys.
Critical thinking at its best. Unfortunately no one in legacy media has the intestinal fortitude or the brainpower to apply it to certain topics. Remember Bill , don’t investigate what you don’t want to uncover! My paraphrase of a Bill Rice Jr quote. Thanks!!!

Sorry, I deleted my comment about masks because it didn't have to do with HIPAA but rather Americans with Disabilities Act-- if I'm not mistaken.

Thanks, Transcriber B. I didn't get into the massively inflated "Covid death" figures, which of course would completely change the IFR.
A better question might be what's the medical homicide rate for people who allegedly died from Covid?
I think the question that needs answering is,
How many people that landed in a hospital suffering from a respiratory illness that tested PCR positive for Covid received a differential diagnosis?
PCR can only detect the presence of Covid-19 molecule(s) wiped off the swabbed area. But it does not validate that Covid is the thing that’s making the patient sick.

Great info Bill. Now do one on how many health professionals died suddenly Vax injuries are what’s really killing people
Thanks. I don't think these same agencies are going to give me any data on how many people who had been jabbed "died suddenly."
But they damn sure SHOULD.
Australia has had three high-profile left-wing politicians die suddenly of heart attacks or turbo cancers recently, plus high-profile covidian doctors.
The media said that one senator died because 'mean girl politicians were mean to her.' https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-03-19/kimberley-kitching-death-allegations-labor-ranks-albanese/100922050
and the fact that WE are injected or not, is of course not under the law of privacy
“Covid 19” was nothing but a government/pHarma PsyOp. Won’t get fooled again!!!

Thank you.
In my fire department of 700+ employees, zero died from Covid. However, there were some retirements due to cardiac issues, but I am sure that is just a coincidence.
Bill, of course the Alabama department of health is NOT SUBJECT TO HIPAA RULES so that is utter bullshit, in case you wanted to add that to your list.
Thanks, Dr. K. I haven't researched the legalities of who is subject to HIPPA and who isn't. That does need to be pointed out if you are right, which I'm sure you are.

No healthcare employee died from Covid that I'm aware of at my hospital. The vaccines are a different story...

So, strictly speaking, that number was correct at that time, but what most people didn't realize is that the IFR must be lower because an unknown number infections must have remained undetected. But nobody seemed to bother, and according to The Science™, it's now all the same anyway. An infection is a "case" and a healthy person is "asymptomatic" and "died with" is the same as "died from". What a mess.
For the record: In the article "A fiasco in the making" which was published on March 17, 2020, John P.A. Ioannidis estimated an IFR around 0.3%. As it turns out, that estimate wasn't far off. But it didn't matter anymore because the masses had already been programmed to believe that the plague of all plagues is upon us, and scaring people is much easier than to un-scare them. Welcome to the mass formation.
Approximately 2000 patients in my general practice, skewing toward older( 30 years in practice). None died of covid .
1 elderly but healthy patient died 1 week after an I’ll advised booster- family told it was covid. 1 died in hospital 3 weeks after admission. He was walking around recovering then died suddenly. He had a congenital lung diseases.
To your point, the IFR was never even close to what they were projecting. Our medical “ leaders” are mostly self serving lackeys.
Critical thinking at its best. Unfortunately no one in legacy media has the intestinal fortitude or the brainpower to apply it to certain topics. Remember Bill , don’t investigate what you don’t want to uncover! My paraphrase of a Bill Rice Jr quote. Thanks!!!
