EEOC complaint.

My health information is also mine, and if I do not want to share it I cannot be forced.

Gee, a company can require someone to reveal if they have HIV or have had an abortion as part of employment or receive service or any other reason? That is a stretch.

Uhh where did I say they were asking you to reveal protected health information, that we literally have laws specifically to protect those pieces of information, like HIV status or whether you've had an abortion? Especially when those pieces of information don't impact you or the job in any way shape or form. As long as they aren't discriminating against protected persons of course.

Your employer can 100% require you to get a covid swab, get the vaccine, take a drug test or any other slew of things as condition for employment. If it's such an egregious wrong for them to ask that of you then don't seem employment there. You have that right. Literally every major healthcare system and organization in this country requires you to get the flu vaccine yearly as s condition of employment, unless you have special circumstances of course.

For people who are so gung go about freedoms and choices and shit, sure is weird those freedoms and choices should only matter when it's convenient for you or something you believe in.

I used those as examples to show some points.

Whether I get a vaccine does not impact me or the job I do in any way shape or form. People still get the flu after getting the flu shot. This new experimental thing for covid alters DNA....and does not kill any virus. It must be my choice as to whether I receive any drug, vaccine or treatment for any illness.

Literally every organization does NOT require a flu vaccine or any other vaccine.They never see employee medical records. Healthcare folks may have to put up with that but even then you have to wonder why certain office admin positions have that imposed, or why people give in. I believe they are simply conditioned, but that does not mean every US citizen must be forced or compelled or pressured into the same conditioning.

A drug test to see if there are addictions has some merit as long as it is conducted appropriately.

I do not want to get started on the emotion harms of abortion or other lifestyle matters. It amazes me that those things are 'protected' but we snarl at people for for making intelligent choices regarding their immune systems and overall health.

I will be working to rid us of this emergency at the federal and state level, and to protect our free choice to take this covid concoction.

Based on your comment and complete and total lack of absolutely any understanding of how vaccines work ("does not kill any virus, people still get the flu after the flu shot") I'm not going to be able to change your mind on the science so I won't even address it.

In terms of everything else, like I've told you nobody can hold you down and force you to get a vaccine. I have never once tried to say anything of that nature. FOR CONDITION OF EMPLOYMENT, because we live in a free country, your employer can require you to get a flu or covid vaccine, get a drug screen, a criminal background check, a credit check yada yada. You are not required to accept those terms and you do not have to get that vaccine or authorize a background check if you don't want too.

Like I said, I don't agree with requiring the flu vaccine etc as condition of employment. But I also knew that would be a requirement for my career and had to make a choice on whether a flu vaccine was a big enough deal or not to prevent me from doing something I love.
