California County Requires Businesses to Submit Covid-19 Vaccination Status of All Employees
Businesses in Santa Clara County, California are required to submit vaccination status of all employees.
According to the county’s public health order, “All businesses and government entities must ascertain the vaccination status of personnel and must comply with the rules for personnel who are not fully vaccinated, as required under section 9(c) and 9(d) of the County Health Officer’s May 18, 2021 Order.”
Under the health order, the employee can decline to provide their vaccination status to their employer.
If the employee declines to offer the information, the employer “should assume the employee may be unvaccinated and follow State and local requirements for unvaccinated employees.”
In other words, if an employee refuses to get the vaccine or declines to disclose this private information to their employer, they will be treated like a second class citizen and will be forced to wear a face mask.
The employers are not required to provide the vaccine information to the County, but they are required to collect it and “have it available to demonstrate their compliance with this requirement” (struggle session).
The health order argues that HIPPA does not apply when an employer asks an employee for their vaccination status.
“No. HIPAA applies to certain entities, such as healthcare providers and health plans, and what protected health information they can share about their patients or members under what circumstances. HIPAA does not govern what information employers may request from their employees.” – the health order read.
It gets worse…
Employees are told to document and snitch on fellow co-workers if they won’t tell fellow colleagues whether they are vaccinated – then treat them like dirty virus bags and stay away from them.
“You must document that the worker declined to disclose his or her vaccination status, assume that they are not fully vaccinated, and follow all the rules that apply to workers who are not fully vaccinated.” the order said.
The deadline for determining the vaccination status of workers is June 1, 2021, however employers are instructed to harass employees who have declined to disclose their vaccination status every 14 days.
The employers must ask employees every 14 days what their vaccination status is so they can update their records.
I hope the form accepts emojis.

Sounds like it is time for the people of the county to show up loudly at the next county commissioner meeting. It is working across cities and schools in America.
In the meantime, if forced economically, I would either tell them I have the antibodies to fight the covid from previous exposure and dont need the vax or my doctor has advised me not to because of a condition.
Just tell your employer that you've been vaccinated. YES, I AM VACCINATED.
You don't have to mention that it was a measles vaccine from when you were a child. :>)
If they don't ask for specifics... then you don't need to expand on it.
My last vax was for tetanus in college, I guess that will work eh!
Okay, I am really getting tired of hearing about this type of thing. People really need to understand the Constitution and their rights. First of all, county health orders mean diddly squat. County health officers do not make law!! For crying out loud. Have people forgotten (or never learned) that we have three branches of government, all for different purposes. ONLY legislators make law. That is the US federal congress as well as each state congress. They are the only entities charged with creating law. Next is the Judicial branch. This branch does not make law, they enforce and interpret law. End of. The third branch is the Executive branch. This branch also does not make law. They are the administrators.
Secondly, the Hippa act, which is the Health Information Privacy and Portabliity act (check it out, they even changed that acronym) is a law in place that protects you from unauthorized people getting or even requesting your private health information. That would include your employer or even the nosy county health officer.
Thirdly, states have laws to protect you from tyranny such as this. Get to know your US Constitution as well as your state constitution. ANY so called 'law' that is passed by ANY legislature, whether federal or state, is null and void if it is not in keeping with the US Constitution. Period.
I hope half the county residents move away.
I thought for sure this would be about Alameda County, because they are total cunts.
