Apparently There's an Illinois Law that Prohibits Asking about Vaccine Status
Illinois Leaks (Edgar County Watchdogs) ^ | 8/26/21 | John Kraft and Kirk Allen

Section 2 states Illinois' public policy on the issue:

. . . It is the public policy of the State of Illinois to respect and protect the right of conscience of all persons who refuse to obtain, receive or accept, or who are engaged in, the delivery of, arrangement for, or payment of health care services and medical care whether acting individually, corporately, or in association with other persons; and to prohibit all forms of discrimination, disqualification, coercion, disability or imposition of liability upon such persons or entities by reason of their refusing to act contrary to their conscience or conscientious convictions in providing, paying for, or refusing to obtain, receive, accept, deliver, pay for, or arrange for the payment of health care services and medical care. . .

Section 3 defines "Health Care" to include any phase of patient care, including, but not limited to testing, diagnosis, and medication, among others.

Someone needs to remind Governor Schitzker about this law.

It’s always amusing when people think the Rule of Law matters.

It’s Illinois.
Run by DimocRATs.
Laws matter, unless they don’t.

I plan to hide as long as possible from those insisting I get their Covid shot, but I suspect it will inevitably end like Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

It’s HIPAA, and it doesn’t.

This actually may have teeth though.

it already got to a point where I say “you mean the vaccine which has not been approved by the FDA?’ just to shut these clowns up.

Laws were made to be changed or broken.

HIPPA prevents health care providers from revealing the info. I don't think it prevents someone else from asking.

Hard to read. Seems ignored. Bet other states have similar laws if people looked. But I also bet that they will be ignored and courts will back them up because ‘Covid is an emergency’.

Kinda like how most will hold out for the Mark, until they have to in order to be able to do all the stuff they currently do. You know, the peaceful slavery part.

As someone already mentioned, HIPAA prevents your employer from asking your insurance company or doctor, but does not prevent them from asking you about your vaccine status.

HIPAA is a toothless wonder.

I lean on the 1st, 4th and 5th amendment rights.

Also, since 1973, the Court held that the constitutional right to privacy includes a woman’s right to decide whether to have an abortion, so since that is a right to privacy, so is my shot status.
