Why would you want to keep a vaccination private?It's not just global travelers that will need a vaccination. Hundreds of universities and colleges are requiring the vaccine to enter this fall. A broad majority of U.S. employers, 65%, plan to offer employees incentives to get vaccinated and 63% will require proof of vaccination. Although the current trajectory of vaccinations will dramatically reduce infections, the virus will continue to kill hundreds or thousands a year in the US. Today over half the population has had at least one dose. We need to get that figure to over 70%. Then we will approach herd immunity and the virus will die out in the US because of a lack of hosts. The major threat will then be a new more dangerous variant from broad. Thankfully RNA vaccines can easily be adapted for new variants.Because I am an avid traveler and I’m going to have to get it if I want to keep traveling again. Many countries are going to make it a requirement to get inI'm being serious...You triggered?Why?
Even though I am vaccinated, the moment my employer starts trying to require proof of that or anything else in my medical history, they'd best pack a chair and a lunch, because it's going to be a looooong fight. I take patient privacy very seriously, especially when I'm the patient.
I don't particularly. My issue is with someone demanding to know, and feeling like they have a right to make that demand. It's MY health information, and MY choice whether or not I want to tell people about it. By law, my employer has no right to know a damned thing about my health information that I do not voluntarily choose to disclose.
I guess you've never worked at a place that required drug tests. And you're right, it is your health and your choice. It'll also be your employer's choice to let you go if they decide to make vaccinations a policy and there's no law against that.
Yes, I have worked at places that require drug tests. They tell me that before I accept the job, and I have an option to cooperate or to go somewhere else. That's a far cry from already having a job and having my employer come in with a new and heretofore unagreed-to demand to 1) inject something into my body whether I want it or not (not the same as simply giving them some of a secretion my body was getting rid of anyway), and 2) to have access to my health information without my having agreed to allow it prior to the fact.
And no, my employer does NOT legally have the right to choose to fire me because I won't accept arbitrary changes to my job requirements after the fact. We have a legally binding contract of employment between us, and no legal contract can be altered after the fact without the consent of both parties, whatever your simpleminded glance at the situation might tell you.
Seriously, what is this allergy that leftists have to being independent individuals instead of the craven, boot-licking property of anyone who demands it?
