My company HR is saying that since the company isn't a medical provider, HIPPA doesn't apply so they can demand to know my vaccine status. I don't think that's correct is it?

As I recall, the whole point of the HIPAA law was to protect people from having their medical information used against them. This was back when people lost their jobs or housing because they had HIV. Under the law, your medical provider can only share your medical information with others involved in your care. E.G. the radiologist does not need your permission to send a reading of your x-ray to your doctor.
