The primary issue with this was the lack of ethical research, not the privacy of medical records. In fact the opposite argument could be made, with a more open and connected system, we could likely glean such information without the trial in the first place.

Using medical records without direct informed consent is unethical, so the there's not nearly the distinction you're trying to make there.

If you view letting infections play out in people because "We view black people as sub-human" is or can be equivalent to sharing medical records for patient care, research, or outbreak surveillance, and that there isn't a meaningful distinction between those categories, it is unlikely we could have a productive conversation on the topic.
