Because Abbott’s move to lift the mandate was counterfeit. He tried to make himself look like Desantis (after getting obliterated in that CPAC poll) but it doesn’t work if you don’t go all the way and make sure people can’t be FORCED to wear the mask or receive penalties for it.
But that’s the thing about HIPAA, it’s a health information privacy act. She could have a medical condition that could prevent her from wearing the mask and she should not be asked nor forced to reveal it to gain access to a particular service.
She also should not have to present her vaccination records either. I wanna know if there are any HIPAA lawsuits getting started because I would totally sue on that basis.
She never said anything about having a medical issue preventing her from wearing a mask. If that is the case then all she had to do was say so. She would not have to reveal specifics and that would have changed the situation. That isn't what happened.
