"The President announced that every federal government employee will be asked to attest to their vaccination status." Violates HIPPA, I would think and the ADA.

It violates neither.

HIPAA legislates the distribution of health information, not whether someone can ask you things.

And vaccine status neither confers, nor concerns, a disability as defined in the ADA.

From the CDC: "The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) is a federal law that required the creation of national standards to protect sensitive patient health information from being disclosed without the patient’s consent or knowledge."
