Medical/legal pedes, have the protections of HIPAA been suspended for the scamdemic response? It was my understanding that it is illegal to even ask someone about their personal medical information.

I didn’t miss that point. It just doesn’t really matter because the spirit of the law isn’t going to prevent anyone from doing anything, especially not private companies.
I’m just saying that if you’re looking to fight your employer or a business or whatever on demanding your vaccination status, bringing up HIPAA is going to be a losing argument.
No, it's not. If I say I do not want to give my employer my medical records because they are not HIPPA compliant that is 100% accurate. It's a legal argument because the 4th Amendment says it is. It is 100% legally my right if I don't want to take that risk.
I think standing on the 4th to keep your information private is valid.
In my reading, HIPAA will also keeps your information private once your employer has it. If they use the information to single you out, e.g., demand you submit to the jab, they have violated the letter of the law.
