They do not. The one's that they would need to "protect" should already be vaccinated.

For the people freaking out over masks, wait until they realize that you don't even have to wash your hands any more

so now that we're past masking, when did the stateside pandemic actually end?

i would legit put it to when Texas dropped the mask mandate

that seemed like the sweet spot point where enough people had received a dose and we were far enough out of winter to have gotten through it

Honest question, where does HIPAA come in with all of this? Go to a sporting event and have to show that you are vaccinated to take your mask off? That sounds like a direct violation

You can choose not to show, no violations at all. Not saying they should do it that way, just not HIPAA issues.
I thought about that, its just a slippery slope. There are already people that choose not to get the vaccine due to medical or religious reasons. Next comes vaccine passport to get into places. I mean I understand with more dangerous diseases but when the majority of people under 50 will be just fine its crazy to me. And this is coming from a vaccinated person
If you're not a "Covered entity" (Doctor, pharmacist, clinic, hospital, dentist, etc) then HIPAA doesn't apply to you. If a stranger asks you a question about your health, and you choose to reveal that information, that's up to you. If a family member asks your doctor about your health, and they reveal that information, they could be in violation of HIPAA.

There are multiple scenarios here

B2C and B2B and corporate offices. For B2C, once signs go down nature will just take its course. Might be ugly see Twitter but it will work itself out.

B2B and corporate offices where public just doesnt enter at will it's all liability and they will ease restrictions slower. Or make their people sign a waiver. But it will be all about liability.

Genie is out of bottle.

I would think, legally, if the CDC states that the vaccinated no longer need masks inside or out, there won't be much a person could do to sue a company from that point moving. Now, that might not be the case with situations that happened before when the CDC masking guidelines were still in place and someone sues. What would the statute of limitations on something like that be?

There were are lot of folks who were supportive of some pretty draconian measures. I'd argue that those folks don't DESERVE the land of the free at all.

Agree, about time for this. The messaging was terrible leading up to this. It was as if getting the vaccine does nothing to reduce your chances of infection because masks, distancing, etc. were all still required.

Don't know and good point. But that would assume 100% are vaccinated. Regardless would be a nightmare for a company to deal with. So my thinking is companies will error on side of caution.

The data that makes this the only medically/scientific defensible stance has been around for months. This is so obviously just an attempt to dangle a carrot out and get more people vaccinated. I'm sure it'll convince a few holdouts, but objectively this guidance should have been issued months ago. People who get the vaccine very rarely become infected and have an incredibly small risk of transmitting the disease asymptomatically, and if they do get infected they essentially never develop serious disease or die.

Awesome. I am officially a card carrying member of the community!


Just as a caution, falsifying such a vaccine card is technically a federal felony. The likelihood of ever being in a scenario where lying about this risks meaningful consequences are very small, and even then the chances of getting caught even smaller, but such things aren't unheard of. This isn't like speeding hoping you don't get caught.

Doesn't everyone commit 3 felonies a day anyway?
And how would this even be one? It's not using bug spray in a manner not intended by the manufacturer?

I havent done it yet i was semi joking...semi. l wouldnt submit something false to an employer but a quick flash to the local crazies at a store might be beneficial.

I just don't get this as a logical thing (I know, none of this is logical). It should be one's personal responsibility, no? Get the vaccine or not, if you don't and get covid how is that anyone else's problem?

I'm with you. But there is liability for companies right now to protect their employees. It doesn't make sense because there wasn't liability to protect employees previously from the flu, etc before.

We are in clown world.

Won't change much, restaurants, stores, airlines, etc. will have no idea who is vaccinated or not so they won't relax their rules anytime soon.

Just wait... the ID card is coming soon.

100%

they went ahead and pulled the ripcord

funny what a really bad jobs report and a bad CPI number will do for you
funny how it took you this long to realize this has always been a political football (NPI measures -- not the virus to be clear), not about science or public health.

Everyone make sure to ask any person wearing a mask in a non-mandatory zone "what will it take for you to embrace science and get the vax?"

Mask wearing = vax skeptics , per the CDC. No other reason to voluntarily wear one

My good friend who wasn't interested in taking the vaccine is now taking the vaccine after I sent him the link posted.

This will get people to take the vaccine that are on the fence, not free beer or fries.
Not getting the vaccine, not planning on getting the vaccine, not wearing mask, not planning on wearing mask, not dead from COVID, not planning on dying from COVID

A doctor should not give legal advice in the same way that a lawyer should not give medical advice.
