despite them moving to unmasked indoors for vaccinated employees. Hit send too fast.

At a store a couple of days ago an employee was demanding to see an unmasked person’s proof of vaccination before she would help him. The stores policy is to permit the vaccinated to unmask. He said he doesn’t need to show her personal medical information. She continued to refuse to serve him and became increasingly emotional. The manage came and removed her from her station and apologized to the customer.

It's true that the customer doesn't have to show personal medical information, but it's also true that the store can refuse to serve the customer if the customer doesn't show it. The customer was a jerk, and the manager chose to accommodate the customer rather than back up the employee.

People nor businesses have no rights to demand my health information upon request. You base decisions for the public based on epidemiological data and other meta data available.

NO, this is NOT a HIPAA violation.

A vaccine passport sounds like a good idea until you realize there are onerous legal liabilities. Any business collecting health information is still required to report any leak of health info. Therefore, millions of small businesses asking for a vax passport will be required to report any dissemination of vax status if it gets leaked after collecting such information. If they don't report to all individuals affected from a data leak they could be sued.

They don't have to collect information if all they're doing is asking you to show your passport to enter. No data to leak that way.

Airlines are literally collecting information about whether or not you got the vaccine. If it leaks, they're liable for health info violations. If a restaurant or any other business asks for vax info when you make a reservation, that's collecting information. Just wait, stupidity knows no bounds. Some business won't even realize they're collecting health information and it'll leak. Then lawsuits will fly.

From a business standpoint, I think it does make sense to demand employees show proof of vaccination status. I also think that employees should be forced to divulge other medical information that could impact profit and smooth operations.

Still not a HIPAA violation.

"The Privacy Rule, as well as all the Administrative Simplification rules, apply to health plans, health care clearinghouses, and to any health care provider who transmits health information in electronic form in connection with transactions for which the Secretary of HHS has adopted standards under HIPAA (the “covered entities”)."

Airlines collect financial information too. As do restaurants and other businesses.

Businesses and private entities can have whatever restrictions they want. I would expect some places where kids gather to have restrictions, for sure.

To be honest, I don't expect any business to add any restrictions, for sure.

I expect businesses to drop any remaining restrictions very quickly. Companies really don't like making it harder for their customers to shop in their stores.

Any viable vaccination passport would require a federal vaccination database, and that doesn't exist. Even if the feds decided to build one (they won't) it would take years.

It depends on what company policy is. If the company policy is an honor system for customers, then the employee was out of line.

Rightwingers and rightwing media politicized masks. Then they politicized vaccine passports. 45% of the country is not making rational decisions about COVID, because they believe lies from rightwing media.

LOL. Look at the stats of which groups are not getting the vaccine.

Serious Question. Isn't that what VAMS is?

How does this explain DC where there are huge percentages of people still not vaccinated. Are you suggesting that DC is 50% conservative? Really?

Exactly. I’m saying the opposite and PP clearly has no clue abbot vaccination stats.

Biden administration is working with Google and other Big Tech to institute the vaccine passports. This way they do not have to pass a law.
