What form do these mandates take? What kind of proof do they ask for?
As I thought that vaccine information was private medical information.
Couldn’t someone presumably just lie?
- TulliusCicero 5y agoIt's private information by default, but here it's relevant for employment. You can refuse to give the information, of course, but they can also refuse to employ you for that.
- MattGaiser 5y agoBut what prevents someone from just lying? How is this not just an honour system thing?
- TulliusCicero 5y agoI think you could present medical records, same as how it works currently for public school vaccination mandates. It's weird how many people are acting like this is some bizarre, novel thing. We've had mandatory vaccines for public schooling for decades now. Vaccines are also commonly required for some types of visas/immigration. Requiring vaccination in the interest of public health is not new.
- Covzire 5y agoIANAL, but the precedents set by all the battles that were fought in previous decades over diseases likes AIDS/HIV seem to make it very hazardous for employers to demand medical records. Liberals once fought hard to keep medical records out of employers hands, and won overwhelmingly, so I don't see how Google or any employer can actually enforce this without serious risk of a class action lawsuit.
