Under the ideology that medical data in any form is the property of the patient and not an institution or government. I get it it’s a catch-22 situation. Without data there are no meaningful statistics. But are those who data is used to arrive at diagnostics and cures provided any benefit? I don’t think so - change that and you may see an uptick in data sharing.

There's a difference between having total surveillance and that surveillance being legal and generally approved of by the masses.
