Current Events > Would you support proof of vaccination requirements for in-person voting?

(+) Yeah! (+)

As many of us know, voting in person can often be met with lengthy lines and gatherings of people. From what I can tell, the Bill of Rights only guarantees the right to vote shall not be infringed on the basis of race, creed, color, or sex. No mention of vaccination status, but I'm no expert.

As some of you may know, I'm definitely against all vaccine passports and proof of vaccination for COVID. So there's my answer.

It would still be discrimination, besides you dont have to provide your medical records to anyone thats why we have hippa.

---

fuck no

Lmao what? Hell no

Apparently providing proof of vaccination doesn't count as providing medical records, per a few radical cities choosing to implement proof of vaccination requirements to go to restaurants, bars, gyms, etc. and some employers requiring vaccination status. I think it's wrong, but apparently they have some legal ground to stand on. I guess we'll have to see how that works out.

Stopping death is not discrimination and HIPPA is just to bar doctors from sharing without your consent. Anyone can ask you for proof of vaccination and that's a fair reason to bar entry.

It's HIPAA not HIPPA guys LMAO

you don't know what HIPAA is, which isn't surprising since you don't know how to spell it either. HIPAA does NOT mean people are not allowed to require you to submit you personal medical information. It only restricts your healthcare and insurance provider from releasing your medical records to a third party without your consent.

Oh come on, mate. Don't bash someone for including an extra P. I would have doubt you could fully spell it without using the abbreviation and without looking it up, but I could be wrong. That's only something you can determine for yourself.

For those who support proof of vaccine for restaurants, bars, gyms, etc but not for in-person voting --- how come do you not also support proof of vaccine for in-person voting when there is a mail in alternative?

I used to work for an insurance company champ. Just because you hadn't heard of HIPAA until a couple of months ago when it entered the anti-vax discourse doesn't mean no one else had either.

Ah, okay. So I'm guessing you can spell it all out without the abbreviation and without looking it up, too, right?

Either way, not a very good look to criticize someone for putting in an extra "P".

---

No, getting vaccinated is a personal choice it has nothing to do with voting or any of those other things.

I'm not criticizing people for their spelling skills. I'm criticizing them for spreading misinformation.

Then why would you add the comment in that they don't know anything about it because they can't "spell it either"?

People voting yes are looking for more ways to bar African Americans from voting, based on current vaccination rates

because if someone actually knew what the abbreviation stood for, they wouldn't be spreading that anti-vax talking point about it

Because voting does not require you to take off your mask nor spend over an hour inside.

I think you could have proven your point without pointing out they got the acronym wrong and included an extra letter, when you yourself can't even spell it out without looking it up. It's not like the name of the act itself explains every detail and regulation. Get off your high horse.

boo hoo. don't flap your gums on topics you have zero knowledge of and you won't get called out for it.

Isn't mail in supposed to be easier? Do you think it would help stop the spread? After all, people can order take out instead of going to a restaurant or drinking at home. I'm just playing the devil's advocate here and trying to figure out the true meaning behind these mandates and masks.

If the true goal is safety, I think there would be other alternatives.

Shocker! You also believed Trump's idiotic stories about voter fraud and supported his insurrection

So you have a history of dumb opinions

I'm not the one you called out. Just happened to point out you were being a dick over an extra letter someone included in an abbreviation.

CONGRATUALATIONS that you can properly abbreviate HIPAA. But still can't spell the whole thing without looking it up *wink*

Honestly somebody who calls it HIPPA has a 0% chance they are familiar enough with it to make an informed statement about it

If anything, we should promote everyone voting absentee as much as possible and make voting super convenient.

Voting from home is free. No one actually argues against voter ID because they don't think people should have IDs. It's all about poll tax.

CONGRATUALATIONS HlPPO!!

Getting someone else sick/dead from covid would actually be impeding on their ability to vote, though.

---

Nah. Least not for something as mild (relatively speaking. Its much worse then the average flu) as Covid.

However There comes a point of severity where there are almost no rights that you can't reasonably say "Fuck your rights this is more important" though. Imagine if we had a smallpox like disease spreading and people weren't getting vaccinated.

I support vaccine mandates in general though.

Ive only heard it spoken and assumed hippa myself. Thought it was health information patient privacy act. But that was just a guess based on me having the abbreviation wrong due to as said only ever hearing it spoken

Hell no, it sets a bad precedent.

There are many legit reasons why someone cannot safely get vaccinated and those people shouldn't be penalized because of that.

Well if they have legit reasons then they shouldn't be voting non-mail-in.

Mail-in should be available to everyone.

Im not sure the Bill of Rights makes mention about the people having the right to vote, but its been a long while since Ive read it.
