I’m not saying it’s right, I’m simply saying it’s not a violation of HIPAA. No, you don’t have to give it but asking or, as you state, trying to compel, isn’t a violation of HIPAA.
Is it discrimination? Because requiring unvaxxed to wear masks and test weekly while not requiring the same for vaxxed seems like they are singling out people for discrimination. The unvaxxed being the only ones walking around the office with the "shame" of their decision right there on their faces.
Unfortunately HIPAA won’t help because it doesn’t protect you from giving your information.
Giving no. But they also can't compel you to give it to them either.
You can ask all you want, but I don't have to give you a damn awnser.
You also don't have to awnser to getting weekly testing, because again that is none of their business.
Trying to compel you either way is a violation of HIPPA.

It doesn’t though. It doesn’t apply to employers, only hospitals, doctors, nurses, etc. Not saying I don’t wish it did, it just doesn’t.
