Are people retarded?
? These people are stupid!
I live in a very lefty area and lately tons of handwringing on social media about “how will we know who is vaccinated?” The person asking this is always presumably vaccinated.
Do they not understand that them being VACCINATED means that they are VAC-CIN-ATED? I.e. the point of the VACCINE is to protect you against the VIRUS. So why do you give a shit if someone else has it - you are VACCINATED & PROTECTED (other controversies aside).
I think these are some of the stupidest people I have ever encountered. Boggles the mind.
Not HIPAA... I don't know how this HIPAA myth was started, but that applies to a third party, like your doctor giving your info to someone else.
What does apply is ADA. No business can ask you about your medical info under ADA law. I believe that if they even ask, and that's reported, their first offense is something like a $7,500 fine. You can look into that for the exact details, but it's ADA, not HIPPA that you should be citing.
This "myth" as you call it was an addendum to HIPAA finalized in 2002. https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/privacy/laws-regulations/index.html
