I am noticing that "news" agencies use data in the most fearful way possible when reporting on diseases that were not at all dangerous when I was a child.  Case in point - measles. 

This collection of data specific to influenza is an invasion of privacy and delivers information into the hands of agencies that could use it in a most nefarious way.  I do NOT see protection of the public in this proposed action. 

I also cannot imagine the public will be fully informed about collection of data and its use so that informed consent is met.  This is an important right of every patient. 

I oppose the action.
