My point isn't that it's not possible to de-anonymize the data in general, but rather that this organization doesn't have datasets that they can correlate it with, they don't have any incentive to do so, they don't have any mandate to do so, and this data is also available to anyone willing to cut a check.
My point is they are using data to make data-driven decisions and do their jobs. This is the kind of thing you want from a government. So again, I ask.
If the job of a public health agency isn't to use anonymous data to make informed decisions about public health what on earth is their job?
