- jdsully 5y agoHIPAA doesn't prevent you from talking about your own medical procedures. This is just a voluntary badge you can put on your profile.
- why55 5y agoAnyone without a badge can be assumed to be unvacinated. Let's use AIDS for example, they make a badge that is certified AIDS free and then offer free AIDS testing then you can assume anyone without the badge has AIDS. This is a hipaa violation by publishing some users information that has approval and waivers you are exposing the other users information. Going with this example, let's say you have a group of people who voted wrong and you want to punish them, you don't let them display the AIDS free badge. It is an abuse vector.
- lsllc 5y agoHIPAA only applies to "covered entities" (e.g. healthcare providers). It's why your employer is allowed to ask about your COVID vaccination status (even if they are also a healthcare provider). https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/covered-entities/index.html https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/covered-entities...
