Here's an update on my looking into whether my genetic data and samples are secure within the #NIH #AllOfUs program.
Bottom line up front: I'm going to withdraw my consent and ask them to delete my data and samples, and I encourage you to do the same.
Details follow.
* I sent their support team an email asking what they were doing to protect the data from DOGE.

Skin cancer diagnosis trial to upskill GPs, use AI in Victoria's north-west
By Tyrone Dalton
A person living in the Loddon Mallee region of Victoria is 34 per cent more likely to get skin cancer than other Victorians. A team of researchers and doctors are working to improve health outcomes.

Vaccines helped to eradicate smallpox, and diseases like polio are pretty rare. An anti-vax health secretary in a golden age of medicine is totally absurd, and as much use as a witch doctor.
I wonder how many people in America would die in another pandemic under Robert F. Kennedy’s watch?
I signed up years ago for the #NIH #AllOfUs research program so the NIH has extensive data about me, including genetic data.
I trusted NIH then to keep my data secure and private, but I am obviously reconsidering that and thinking about withdrawing from the program.
I've asked All Of Us what assurances they can give that my data will remain safe, but I am skeptical that they'll have a persuasive answer.
Anybody else in this boat?

The #WarOnScience will most likely lead to a drastic reduction in investigational sites for clinical trials in the US
This will not only lead to longer recruitment + therefore development times almost *everywhere* but less potential treatment options for Americans without proper HC access.
