Activists don’t need the personal information of people they disagree with. Terrorists do, charge them accordingly.

Terrorist-a person who uses unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aim

Hmmm… that DOES sound a bit familiar…

Terrorism needs target to be an indefinite number of persons.

If target is one particular person, this is regular crime.

EDIT: or persons. Serial killers are serial killers, not terrorists.

That is not what they’re saying.

This is what they said:

This is not a case of somebody saying something smart but just wording it terribly. It’s no different than idots who spout “only cowards wear masks!” It’s something only somebody that has no familiarity with actual activism - ie, no familiarity with the actual stakes and risks involved in real activism work - would say.

Agreed. Handing over personal info is not unlike handing the wrong person a loaded gun.

If Goebbels Junior here got the punishment he deserves, he’d probably become a conservative martyr and rallying point. Which I think would be useful for identifying others in need of re-education.

What a clusterfuck of a HIPAA violation.

HIPAA seems to be one of the rare laws that actually results in significant damages. Will be interesting to see the size of the fine on this.

Likely the hospital gets hit as well for allowing him access to medical records on patients he had nothing to do with. Shouldn’t have been possible in the first place.

This guy’s career is over. I’m sure he’ll do okay financially by selling ivermectin to bigoted dimwits, but I doubt he will be practicing real medicine ever again.

I have yet to see a EHR that has access restrictions that would prevent this. Instead it’s just logged and if irregular enough you get to have a hostile conversation that could lead to this.

Edit:

Haim, a Dallas surgeon, previously had done some work at Texas Children’s Hospital as part of his residency. The indictment against Haim alleges that in 2023, he asked to reactivate his login there to access information on pediatric patients not under his care, including names, attending physicians and treatment codes, then turned over the information to a media contact.

Okay, that’s just dumb. Texas Children’s Hospital is going to get fucked over this. Not only did he not have admitting privileges, he didn’t even fucking remotely work there. This isn’t just a HIPPA violation, it’s straight up fraud.

Yeah when I read that I was like, so all I have to do to get medical records is call and ask? Like I don’t even have to have any affiliation apparently.

Correction: his career has changed. He will be taken in as a consultant in some right wing think tank and start shaping the direction of the movement, because he “took action”

Nono, his new career as a right wing mouthpiece is just beginning. He’ll be up on stage with MTG and Rittenhouse complaining about cancel culture and how woke has invaded hospitals and how you shouldn’t listen to doctors.

Multiple violations, because he released multiple patients’ info. Off the top of my head, I believe it’s up to $250k and 10 years per violation, but the jail time could be served concurrently instead of consecutively.
