>Hmmm, wouldn't not making such important information public actually risk the lives of more people?

"Saving human lives" is often quite far down the list of priorities for governments and international organizations, despite their claims.

They are glossing over it with nice language but “stigmatization” puts lives at risk. People don’t merely shun others, they get irritable and often attack those they consider “unclean”. This is something to consider seriously as the rise of right wing nationalist groups means the violence will be organized rather than random pogroms carried out by mobs.

In the same way pork ribs aren’t barbecue.

But they’re very highly correlated.
