how about we do a great reject?It's about the great reset nothing more!

And why isn’t this a HIPPA violationWhere I work we have a limited "skeleton crew". Most people have been working from home since March last year.
Around 15 of us come into the office at least once a week. Yesterday morning, someone from HR sent me an email asking me if I had been vaccinated, as well as sending the email to others as well, as I have found out.
I and most others I know have been vaccinated, however, one person I work with has not been vaccinated, and will not get vaccinated. HR told them yesterday (just 1 day after the FDA fully approved the Pfizer vaccine) that he can't come back until he is vaccinated.
I'm pro-vaccine, but think this is a personal choice. They didn't ask anyone if we were vaccinated against polio, pertussis, chicken pox, or a host of other vaccinations. I'd sure as hell rather catch covid over polio any day, so why don't they demand that? This shit makes no sense at all.
Exactly !And why isn’t this a HIPPA violation
I refused to tell my employer whether or not I was vaccinated. Explained that I view my medical information as private.Where I work we have a limited "skeleton crew". Most people have been working from home since March last year.

I’ve asked that very same question
Bravo.Because most employer/employee relationships aren’t covered under HIPAA and for those that are, HIPAA disclosures specifically permit use for Public Health Activities and for Serious Threat to Health or Safety, as defined by law. Whether you agree with it or not, the governor of Texas specifically states in each of his god forsaken emergency orders that COVID is a public health emergency. Even if he did not, the CDC says it is, so companies have the law on their side in this case.
HIPAA isn’t the bill of goods you think you’ve been sold.
Here’s the long form answer to your question from one of the two leading HR professional associations. HRCI (the other) pretty much says the same thing.So how would any employer know or be able to validate that anyone is or is not vaccinated… just asking the question.
