Freed prisoner
Texas nurse treats a measles kid. Posts about it in an anti-vax forum (of which she is a member, and a non-vaxxer). Someone screenshots it and posts it on hospital FB. They fire her.
This is absurd. HIPAA fears are real, administrative reactions are as bad as corporations removing sponsorships from you for things your dad said before you were born, that were not racist.
If it's some mortal sin to post that, why did the newspaper reprint it. I know they are not bound by HIPAA, but if the offense is someone posting the info, why did they do it? So freaking stupid.
Here is story about publicly released info.

“I think it’s easy for us nonvaxxers to make assumptions but most of us have never and will never see one of theses diseases,” the self-identified nurse wrote, according to the screenshots. "[F]or the first time in my career I saw measles this week. Actually most of my coworkers and the ER docs saw measles for the first time as well. And honestly, it was rough. The kid was super sick. Sick enough to be admitted to the ICU and he looked miserable. “By no means have I changed my vax stance, and I never will. But I just wanted to share my experience and how much worse it was than I expected," she added.
