Asking you for proof violates nothing.

You can choose not to dine or shop there.

I say I have the vaccine or the virus. It's a violation to attempt to verify that, no?

Eh, I had a hospital send the results of an eye test to a government agency after I specifically told them I didn't want them to inform anyone until I knew the results. Nothing happened to the doctor, the technician, or the administrators involved. In fact, the hospital tried to charge me a fee for them figuring out who ****ed up.

HIPPA deals with medical providers etc

Walmart can ask you for proof of being vaccinated
You don't have to respond
They can tell you do pick up because we won't let you in

There is no HIPPA violation

Get real, the government will basically force businesses to do this just like they did with masks.

---

they may

But a business asking you for proof of vaccination does not violate HIPPA is all I said

No.. not at all. A business is not subject to HIPAA because they are not a "covered entity" that provides healthcare services.

There is also a provision in HIPAA for pandemic/public health. Furthermore, the OCR has made huge exceptions during the pandemic to basically say "anything reasonable will have a pass."

For the record, I spend a whole lot of time reading HHS/HIPAA security and privacy rules for a living.

Caveat: A business associate that signs a BAA is different. They are subject to HIPAA, but they are also not usually a resturant or airline.

My apologies

I understand

But it is with less vs fewer

Funny that a country with state funded euthanasia would deny the public the opportunity to make an informed decision on the risks of being exposed to a disease with a 99.6% survival rate

So what we're saying is we have to sue providers who consent to validate COVID status?

the idea of forcing vaccination is one thing.....

this is a completely new technology and delivery system - mRNA has never been done before.

Do I look like a guinea pig???

Get ****ed. I'll take my chances on a virus. I'll be near the tail end of those who get it if I do.


As for proving you are vaccinated...... there is gonna be a lucrative forgery business opportunity... not that i would engage in that sort of thing. I'm just sayin.

In other words, not a medical provider or a facilitator of medical care then HIPAA generally doesn't apply.

A business can ask for proof of vaccination, you're free to decline to respond. An employer can make vaccination a condition of employment, you don't have to disclose your vaccination status, but in most states they can fire you for not providing it.

I think they should be allowed to, I just don't think they should exercise that right.

This will be easier to beat than forging your parents' signature on your report card.

HIPAA protects citizens (privacy of medical records) from GOVERNMENT violations of privacy.

If the US, or any state/local gov entities attempt this, then it is a HIPAA violation.

For now. It depends how the Georgia senate runoffs go. Also, unauthorized disclosures of confidential health information create civil liabilities for private parties too.

If the Ga. senate races are lost, the left doesn't have to (and won't) pretend to care about any personal/individual rights any longer, including privacy.

Or I know Walmart asking for vaccine proof doesn't violate it

It simply doesn't

Why does anyone who got the vaccine care what other people do, since they are "protected"?

If you tell me they may overwhelm the health system then I will have to ask we make it mandatory to not allow people to become obese. If you are obese you get no care.
