It's not about the vaccine - it's about the normalization of employers knowing your medical history. Personally I wouldn't care if I was asked as I've taken the vaccine and would say so.
However I can understand why people might be concerned about employers demanding proof.
- dekhn 5y agoSo... you're willing to have millions of people die to protect some employees from having their employer knowing their medical history? From what I can see, companies are doing this to reduce their exposure to legal risk from employee-employee infection in the office.

I never said that to begin with. > From what I can see, companies are doing this to reduce their exposure to legal risk from employee-employee infection in the office. This doesn't make any sense as vaccinated people can and do transmit the delta variant. Mandatory work from home would be the solution to that.
- dekhn 5y agoYes, vaccinated people can get delta. But the risk is far lower. So much lower that it changes company's minds (as is clearly happening here). I'm sorry if I misinterpreted your comment about not wanting companies to normalize access to medical records. I made a two step inference as to what the implications of that were.
