Best 1 1/2+ hours I spent in the past week, excluding yard work. I have pondered the debates over the mask or not mask, vaccine or no vaccine, and the possibility of a requirement to produce documentation. Some have proffered the response, “I identify as vaccinated.” I am thinking of a different approach. Ask the inquirer if he or she is a private citizen or an agent of the government. Regardless of the response, reply, “It is a violation of HIPAA laws for you to seek my health information.”
“Most of us believe that our medical and other health information is private and should be protected, and we want to know who has this information. The Privacy Rule, a Federal law, gives you rights over your health information and sets rules and limits on who can look at and receive your health information. The Privacy Rule applies to all forms of individuals’ protected health information, whether electronic, written, or oral.” https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/privacy/laws-regulations/index.html
If you hear crickets, go ahead and proceed. If there is physical or verbal obstruction, turn around and walk away—no point in pushing their buttons. There are few places you or I have to go into. Government offices, banks, and medical facilities generally prohibit open or concealed carry. I am OK with that, but any business that would restrict my access in any manner will not have my business.
I respect the right of any business to require shoes and shirts for entry, my choice to refuse any limitations.
