Who cares? You won't have anything if nobody participates. My point is, even without the specific names, a lot things can be learned from just treating injuries as single events. There's no need to track individuals at this fledgling stage.
The whole point of developing this database is that it is NOT a "fledgling stage" simple study. Already been there, done that. Most published information is exactly as you describe, above. Retrospective snapshots.

This database was funded solely as it is a big, valuable, very real, in-depth, national-breadth, ongoing database that will yield an unbelievably valuable amount of information, for a whole lot of parameters, for a whole lot of scientists, over future years.

The "who cares" and suspicious are certainly free to choose to withhold any data they could contribute.
