HIPAA covers people who arent you disclosing your medical information to people who aren't you.
Employers are allowed to keep your health records also. They are allowed to ask for it too.
What is illegal is them receiving the info without your consent. And it'd be the person disclosing it that violated HIPAA.
So everything you think about your legal case is mistaken.
Please do some research before proclaiming your win.
It is illegal to discriminate against for a medical condition. But getting a vaccine or not isn't a medical condition.
The ONLY thing illegal about mandating the vaccine as a condition of employment is the fact that it's only authorized for emergency use. But the FDA approved comrinaty, which isn't available, to confuse people.
And honestly. I'm fine with employers being able to ask for your medical records. Employers hire people to do dangerous things and have a right to know and make tiehr own decisions. Not every "employer" is a large multinational corporation but if you keep adding more and more restrictions and red tape they damn well will be soon.
A better approach is to realize there are other federal laws that protect this better like GINA. I told my employer that I have a genetic condition that made the jab an unnecessary excessive risk due to contraindication. Stopped all inquiries in their tracks as they can’t even try to ask about genetic information let alone ask you to prove it.
