Just having the documents doesn't mean you can search them immediately. You have to make them machine-readable first. Even though these are now public records, it does not mean they are verified, true or accurate. A name appearing in a document does not, by itself, establish involvement in criminal activity.

Malawi declared the outbreak after the virus was detected in two environmental samples taken from two sewage plants in Blantyre, the country's second-largest city and where the only known victim lives.

But according to a statement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, this disease (that most people my age previously only knew from playing Oregon Trail) is definitelyyyy not coming back due to a policy failure. Well, yesterday, Administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Dr. Mehmet Oz, appeared on CNN to talk about measles and urge parents to vaccinate their kids. But the former TV doctor got some pushback from host Dana Bash.
