1. I myself have been told in more than one occasion by floor
supervisors I would not get service at a certain state-owned medical
institution unless I signed the consent form. I believe that is also
the case with covid vaccines.
2. I sat in a presentation by a certain university owned hospital
about how to get access to their patients' data for research. They did
state once the data is in their system, it is theirs. Yes, since they
are a *medical* organization (this is a subtle detail most people are
not aware of) they are subject to HIPAA, but the data is now theirs.
And that while a patient could oppose to have his data used, he would
have to fill out the forms for each and every single research data,
which meant he had to be aware that the data was going to be used in
the research. That was one of the questions *I* asked. I also asked
about GDPR, to which they replied "oh, we have no European data." I
did get an earful from my boss because of those questions, but hey.
3. Note the data offered was not necessarily deidentified. Let me
rephrase it: deidentification of data per HIPAA, FERPA, the Privacy
Act of 1974 (and its revisions), and NIST sp 800 series  is at best
pseudoanonymized data per GDPR. So, to quote
https://www.theverge.com/2021/6/23/22547397/medical-records-health-data-hospitals-research,
it is a "privacy placebo." (I really like that term)
4. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp2102616 talks about
"deidentified" EHR data being aggregate and sold.

      Can you provide which regulation states that? I could have used
it many times.
