You Have No Medical Privacy (invidious.privacyredirect.com)

Most people think that HIPAA means that their medical records are kept private. But what if I told you that HIPAA doesn’t protect your privacy at all?

This is our first video in a series about medical privacy, specifically looking at legislation that stripped individuals of the right to consent to medical data sharing.

We focus on what HIPAA actually is, how it came to allow our data to be shared without us even knowing, how we’ve been tricked into thinking we have privacy, and steps we can take to reclaim control of our medical data.

You should leave a direct link. Invidious is not the only YouTube frontend people are using.

You can copy the part of the url watch?v=4sfIBRTcRpU and use it in the frontend you prefer.

And OP can just provide a direct link, no?

various tools are prepared for automatic redirection to a frontend, but they cannot recognize any rare or new frontend's url to do the same if the linked one does not work
