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.

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.
