The My Health Record: Why I'm Opting Out
from The Broccoli Roast · host Kale Brock
I feel like all the movies we’ve watched over the years projecting this insanely controlled future filled with brain chips and trackers and an overarching government have kind of been… just movies right? But as we continue down this trajectory that we’re currently on, politically, socially, economically, I can’t help but think that Hollywood writers and directors were way ahead of their time. You might think I’m overreacting, but the My Health Record situation sets some seriously concerning precedents about individuals’ privacy and, arguably more significant, the increasingly intimate ties between industry and government. In this episode I discuss why I'm opting out of the My Health Record - and why you should at least consider your options. We've got The Gut Summit Live events coming up soon (Perth, Sydney, Adelaide) and my new kids gut health book is almost ready for pre-order!
