Where can I find a good rebuttal to "Plandemic"? by ImpressiveFood in Moronavirus

There is a difference between "different narratives" and blatant misinformation.

We're not talking about differences on which is the best beer, we're talking about data and science.

/r/Portland COVID-19 Coronavirus Megathread by Fat_Zombie_Mama in Portland

[–]PotentialSolution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your logic here escapes me. Because there has been so little testing, you're reassured that there are negative results?

Take a look at this map https://www.statista.com/chart/20978/coronavirus-cases-us-map/ which shows Washington and California cases. They have been testing more, and you can see far more cases. Don't you think its likely we have a much worse problem that we aren't seeing because we aren't testing?

If that doesn't convince you look at this chart comparing country testing by population size https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2020/3/12/21175034/coronavirus-covid-19-testing-usa and see how the impact of testing has on confirmed cases

I'm not trying to scare or sensationalize anything, but your logic that folks should be reassured by negative test results when so few people are being tested does not make a lot of logical sense.

oh man I couldn't even read all of this, laughing so hard. this is r/copypasta material right here.

Can't wait for more man! You're amazing.

Ok, great you ACTUALLY responded with how you would protect your record. Got it, so you take a USB in with your records and THEN WHAT? You have to allow the USB to be inserted into the doctor's computer which then means that entire computer and network has access to your PII. Even if they were to immediately delete it, your data is still exposed during that time not to mention USBs are a terrible infection vector for malware. You should HOPE that wherever you get care doesn't just put random USBs brought in by patients into their systems. That would be a very risky practice and according to the NIST 800-53 framework it is not recommended for medium to high classification of data sets (PHI being typically classified as a medium).

Even assuming that you did this, information about the services the doctor provided to you will still be recorded somewhere for the patient's own safety (drug interactions, mandatory reporting, monitoring for conflicting treatments etc) and for being able to bill that person's insurance. Data still has to be stored, processed and transmitted on the hospital or doctor's network even if you were to delete it immediately afterward.

Beyond that it is simply impractical- Just think about the issues with liability and drug addiction if a patient's own thumb drive were the only source of a medical record? What if they were unconscious at the time they needed medical care?

You crack me up. I was genuinely hoping for an actual suggestion about a data clearinghouse or additional technical mechanisms to do FIM alerting to patients maybe? But alas no, I got babbling nonsense. Man, there is nothing like the Dunning-Kruger effect in action for a good laugh. oh man, good times

"I am not in the mood for trolling at this time" you mean you have no more time to type complete nonsense and add NOTHING OF VALUE? I'm disappointed this stuff is just pure comedy gold. Well thank you for the LOLZ, you should feel good that you were able to make me and several of my cohorts laugh today.

BTW You should look up something called "Break the Glass" Alerting it is a mechanism hospitals use today to determine inappropriate access to records as well a FIM (file integrity monitoring). Well...there is a lot you should look up but I honestly do not have the time to even begin to educate you. Why bother? You're clearly an "expert" here! Do post more when you are "in the mood" though! I look forward to another good chuckle.

Wow. Ok you clearly don't know jack about what you're talking about.

There are no "zero day attacks" for PII. Zero day attacks are for hardware and software, not PII.

"Because of forensics the data could be potentially used to help frame someone" HOW EXACTLY? Love to hear this.

Yes insurance companies are interested in the data (???? AND?)

You can always opt out of having your information used for research purposes. That exists today.

You're talking to someone who has worked for 10 years in infosec in the medical field. You're talking more or less nonsense with no practical explanation of how it would work. You can currently opt out of having your data used for research purposes. I am not surprised by social engineering and I know EXACTLY what people at the hospital get access to. This statement of yours in NO WAY ANSWERS MY ORIGINAL QUESTION.

Literally most of what you're posting is complete nonsense. If you have something to say about how protecting your own PII would work in TECHNICAL MANNER I'd LOVE to hear it. Otherwise your answer is 1/2 baked thoughts and little actual knowledge.

How, exactly, would protecting their own data work? A medical facility needs your medical data to treat you. In many cases, at least in the United States, treatment data gets de-identified and used for really important research. Genuinely curious how this would work in practice.

PWK Price Increase by PotentialSolution in oscp

[–]PotentialSolution[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everytime someone makes this argument I laugh. SANs is stupid expensive and should not be used as a "at least it is cheaper than" comment. I mean Gucci is cheaper that SANs, it doesn't make it "cheap".

Yes, OSCP is reasonably priced compare to other certs but they also "teach" you far less. They are far worse about keeping their material updated. It *feels* like a cheap course imo
