Comment on Is there a way out of an NDA after signing? It just seems people are so affraid of breaking it

It would depend on the working of the NDA.
Just a casual reminder that NDA cover lawful activity. If you have a NDA and something illegal happens within the scope of the NDA it will not protect you from the law. Also, they do not block you from reporting illegal stuff.

Lets say some nurse somewhere is working in the state the measels outbreak came from in the US and was told to sign an NDA about the shit she sees daily. Asking for a friend.

If the shit she sees is legal, she has to keep quiet. If this shit is illegal, ie., trafficking of some sort, embezzlement, abuse, theft, fraud, assault, etc. then she can (and should) speak up.

Not a lawyer, but iirc, if the NDA aids in the concealment of a crime, I don’t think you’re actually bound by it, as that would essentially make you an accessory to said crime. But please do ask a professional about the whole context.

It depends on the wording of the NDA. Get a lawyer to verify.
In an ideal world NDA cover trade secrets or operational procedures
