My employer has stated that they cannot ask to see your vaccination card. They aren't allowed. They may simply be overly cautious about possibly being sued, but that statement came from corporate and I have heard other businesses make the same statement.  ... View more

This was a extremely amusing thread. I've enjoyed reading the reactions and getting an idea of how people think.    I'm not getting vaccinated because I don't trust a fast tracked new tech concoction, and I'm sure not allowing anyone to put it in my body. The facts are that we don't know what sort of long term side effects they may cause. Everyone right now is taking part in a huge global clinical trial. If it was a standard killed or modified live vaccine, I would be more willing to be a guinea pig, but not with this.    I don't expect vaccination to ever be a requirement to fly. I've never been asked for my shot records before and with HIPAA I don't believe I ever will, but should that occur I'll just drive. I love flying, but the open road can be a nice change.  ...

No "excuse" is needed. It's a personal decision. If you want to be vaccinated. Great. If others aren't interested in being test subjects. Fine. Freedom of choice is still and always should be a thing.  ... View more

I would happily challenge it in court. That's the reason my employer can't ask for proof of vaccination from us or customers. Regardless, that is your private business.    I have a question though to ask to those who are concerned about sitting next to an unvaccinated person. Why does that concern you? If you have faith in the vaccine to protect you you shouldn't fear the unvaccinated.  ... View more

Because HIPPA prohibits anyone from demanding to see my medical records. My medical history is nobody's business but my own.  ... View more
