The shame of all of this noise is that resources going into medical research today ends up getting spent on data security and building expensive, custom solutions that avoid using servers of a certain type or location in the name of privacy.

If the various disclosures, legal or not, actual or planned, actually had anything to do with legitimate clinical care or medical research, I think a lot of us would look more kindly upon them. There seems to be little evidence that this is the case, and plenty of evidence that the data was or was going to be disclosed, for profit, to organisations who are not involved in either direct clinical care or legitimate medical research, such as insurers and foreign governments.
