NO TO TRACKING OF ANY AND ALL KINDS
 

Vehemently opposed to any and all tracking of personal data especially regarding health.  VDH is not a part of the legislative branch of government thereby has zero authority to suggest and or make laws.  This is a gross violation and represents the overreach of power.  It is an infringement of my natural, inalienable rights and the natural, inalienable rights of all people.  

It is also an infringement on the long fought for and legally binding protections of HIPAA.  Your collection of health information will require a breach of trust between doctor's and patients whether they know it or not as I am sure most doctors will comply with your insane request without informing the patient.  As it stands right now a person has to sign a piece of paper that releases information to other health care providers, which you are not.  Do you really think it is prudent to create a greater trust issue between doctor's and patients with breached confidentiality?  How will that assist VDH in containing a serious outbreak should one actually occur?  Also I query your due diligence in this matter of trust and what exactly you want to ascertain from such a massive undertaking? 

I think your time and energy from your position better serves We the People doing your due diligence in becoming informed through research and reading the Constitution so you can figure out how to protect the inalienable rights protected by the Constitution of We the People from corporate take over of our bodily autonomy and sovereignty of state while your at it.  This will also give you a measure of positive public opinion.      

Tracking of heath information is both UNCONSTITUTIONAL and UNETHICAL.  I DO NOT CONSENT.
