My response was essentially, "I can do it, but we will need to explain why we are going against CDC guidelines or else I see a mass problem on our hands. Can you get that reasoning for me so I can share it?"
A few hours later, the request for the memo was rescinded. Big win in my book.
I don't work in an office, but if they tried to pull this shit, I swear to god, I'd be filing a lawsuit. They cannot force you to disclose your medical history. At a minimum, they would need to make reasonable accommodations so you can continue to work there without disclosing or getting an experimental vaccine.
Fuck these pieces of shit.

The threat of being in violation of some aspect of HIPPA or other employee privacy regulations are usually enough to get an employer to back off. They take the threat of civil lawsuits seriously as well. Most employers only want to be in compliance with what is legally required for them to do and stay out of the court system. Employers for the most part, are just as confused as the general public as to the difference between what they are legally compelled to do and what they are is just recommended to do. This veil of confusion is rampant in the workplace and is deliberate. Often, when and employer has a clearer understanding of exactly where that line is, they can make better decisions and not cause so much disruption among their employees. They just want to avoid lawsuits and state OSHA regulators. Given legal loopholes most employers will opt to take them. Once they understand they are not compelled to any of this crap, they probably won't - that is of course unless the employer is part of the wokies.
Agreed. The problem is most Big companies have HR departments filled with loony socialists that have turned them into woke zones. Leftists used HR to infiltrate corporate America very successfully.
