No they aren’t. They are saying “we already have ways of sharing data and not violating privacy”.

Yes, they are. Do you have any familiarity with studies conducted under a human study IRB permission? Please cite one that would permit sufficient sharing with the public of the detailed information needed to replicate the study. Even just sharing one personal detail, such as gender, or age, is almost always completely forbidden.

Also, please don't be so credulous. This rule has been promulgated, invented, and proagandized by people who are trying to hamstring the EPA from using scientific studies to regulate industry. It's not new, it's just newly empowered.

You appear to be falling for the plausible cover story, which is disinformation. People are really bad at being able to discern the intent behind "plausibly good" organizations and movements.

There are plenty of published human studies where raw, anonymized patient level data is shared.
