National Law Review ^ | 11/5/21

Posted on 11/06/2021 12:46:00 PM PDT by BusterDog

On Nov. 4, 2021, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) released a new Interim Final Rule (IFR) regarding staff vaccination at facilities that participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The IFR requires covered employers to ensure that staff receive their first dose no later than Dec. 5, 2021 and achieve full vaccination no later than Jan. 4, 2022.

Justification for the Rule

CMS cited a number of reasons for the IFR, including the risk unvaccinated staff pose to patients, reports of individuals foregoing health care due to concerns of contracting COVID-19 from health facility staff, disrupted health care operations due to infected staff, and low vaccination rates among health care staff.

The entire county needs to be brought to a halt. The government has declared war on its citizens.

12 nurses in my family. 5 of them may be unemployed if this is allowed to stand. 3 are retiring. The other 4 were vaccinated, but they’re adamantly against this. They’re anticipating a massive increase in their workloads.

I told my employer I refuse to disclose my vaccination status to them. They count that as unvaccinated. So I may be unemployed by January.

I refuse to give my private health information to a flunky working in personnel. As far as I know, this is supported by HIPAA laws.

They would be better to require everyone to have already recovered from COVID. That would be much safer for everyone.

I think they will play the court game through Christmas, but right after the first of the year, no jab, no job.

Next order from CMS will be to Medicare patients. No vaccine, no health care.

“..The entire county needs to be brought to a halt. The government has declared war on its citizens....”

Yep. It’s gonna take a nationwide walkout/shutdown to bring these bassturds to heel. A week-long walkout with no tax revenue coming would probably do the trick.

HIPAA does not apply to this. Only to healthcare employees

They were able to work without the vax for 19 months. Suddenly the top fascist issues an order, and they get fired.

No need,

they will get the virus from the vaccinated through shedding.

They mean to poison us all one way or another.

The only escape is to work in the cdc, nih, who or TalyBiden white hut.

From heroes to zeros.

Anytime the government controlled media is hyping any profession as heroes it means those people are either getting screwed or are about to be screwed.

HIPAA would apply between me and my employer in regard to my not wanting to disclose my PHI to them.

What next? People will have to disclose to their employer if they plan on becoming pregnant in the future... Come on, man! LOL.

There is not way this should get through the courts.

There’s also a risk to patients from people who have been vaxxed.

Can my employer demand monthly contraceptive medicine to prevent parasite infection? Can my employer require other medical treatments they deem make the work place safer like LASIK …..

When you give an inch there is no end.
