Whistleblower laws protect no one. For one, there is no such thing as unified "whistleblower laws." There are whistleblower laws in various states covering various domains, forming a legal morass that is near impossible for a human to navigate unaided. But more importantly, abiding by every one of these laws still results in years of legal limbo under attack from the superhumanly powerful entity that you as a moral person managed to piss off, bankrupting you, ending your marriage, and making you a damaged, nervous wreck. No whistleblower says they'd do it again if they had the choice. This is the protection your laws provide. I sadly can't yet link to a source, and am not sure how much I can say about how I know this, but I will say there'll be a great article out in a month or so on this topic in a major print publication.
