You’re shifting the goalposts. The original claim was that a pardon would negate HIPAA fines, which it wouldn’t. Now you’re saying HHS won’t enforce the law – different argument entirely.
If you want to discuss regulatory capture or selective enforcement, fine – but let’s not pretend that means the law ceases to exist or that we should throw up our hands. That’s the kind of learned helplessness I’m pushing back on.
Again – sus doomerism. GTFO homie. I smell your camp from a mile the fuck away.

I’d argue that you shifted the goal posts when you suggested that civil fines would be a possible path to punishment.
That’s all I was responding to. I never suggested that pardons would come into it.
You’re now arguing over a claim you say you never made, while responding to a correction I gave to someone else’s hypothetical about pardons.
So either you misunderstood the original thread and jumped in sideways, or you’re walking it back now. Either way:
Pardons don’t cover HIPAA fines.
HIPAA is still law, even if enforcement is selective.
Doomerism isn’t analysis.
This isn’t dodgeball, it’s policy. Stay sharp or stay quiet.
