I keep wondering about how HIPAA will account for mandatory vaccines. Last I checked my medical history and treatment was my own damn business and could not be solicited by a 3rd party without my express written consent. How can my medical information be protected while treatment and disclosure is being enforced on a state and federal level?
I think that if this happens, what will likely happen is that you're not going to be forced to take the vaccine. But you may not be able to board a plane for example without showing proof of vaccination. You will have the illusion of choice, but it will probably pass legal muster. Can you send your kids to public school without vaccination? I don't know, but I think not right?
I don't have kids yet, but that's my understanding. Now, you can always home school, or perhaps a private school if you can find one. That's the illusion of choice. Most people can't home school or afford private school (and probably wouldn't find one that will admit without vaccine records), but the choice technically exists. College is another matter all together.
I understand that if a restaurant wants to ask for a vaccination card and I decline to disclose that info they could just point to the sign above the door that says they reserve the right to refuse service and tell me to leave.
That aside, could I always decline to disclose that type of information to any business or government agency or police officer or anyone else since what they're asking me for would be protected as a medical record under HIPAA? It seems like if I'm administered medical treatment it would be sensitive information I would need to release in writing but then again the shots aren't being administered by a doctor or under their orders so does it even qualify? Do they consider it no more protected than whether or not you took an aspirin with your morning coffee?
So HIPPA only prohibits medical providers (hospitals, physicians, pharmacies, etc) from disclosing your medical information to third parties except for specific reasons (your doctor sending records to a surgeon for an upcoming surgery for instance) or unless you authorize the disclosure.
HIPPA wouldn’t restrict a restaurant from requiring you to confirm you were vaccinated. If you didn’t want to share, then the restaurant has the right to refuse you entry (unless some local law would apply).
Now, I think the bigger question you should be asking is the legality behind hospitals sending your information into the CDC database once you get vaccinated.
What I guess is new to me is the widespread potential for businesses and government to force you to get a card proving x y or z medical condition and produce it on demand to go about your daily tasks. Seems to me like that should be between you and your doctor and there are already laws in place to protect those rights.

That's a good example. I'm under the impression they won't admit kids without vaccination records for things like polio, measles, hep b etc.

Legal pede here that specializes in health law. What’s the specific question, and I’ll try and give you an answer and let you know your rights.

Legality does not matter. This has been declared a public health emergency and you have no say in how the matter is handled.
Sit down and listen to directions and this will be over no time.
It will suffer weird delayed maladies, eventually dying a gruesome-ish death, prolly, same as everything else associated with the fake vaccines.

I cannot take the flu shot. It's in my medical records. 15 years ago I got a flu shot and it sent me to the hospital for a few days.
I can decline the shot and do not have to provide proof to any random employer or agency

Same way OSHA is handling masks taking your breathing supply below 19.5% oxygen
