In an effort to end the COVID19 pandemic many governments imposed vaccine mandates on people who wish to enter private businesses. Politicians who supported the mandates argued that it would stop the spread of CV19 and encourage people to get vaccinated against it. Opponents argue that vaccination status is private health information and people should not be forced to share it. Proponents argue that unvaccinated individuals are responsible for spreading CV19 and prolonging the pandemic.

Medical records are personal and private. Each person has different beliefs as to what is good and what is bad. If you are vaccinated because you believe that will help you, you should not have any fear if I am vaccinated. If vaccinations do not work, and you catch what I have, it would make no difference if I was vaccinated or not. Personally, I would rather catch the disease and build up my own immunities, at home, and not worry about who is or who isn't since it has no bearing on if I am or if I am not. I think there are more germs on the vaccinated person who inspects your bag at the door because they have touched everything of everyone.
@9M4L6BN 7mos7MO
Wrong. You can catch a virus, even if you are vaccinated.
@9M4L6BN 7mos7MO
No. Ron Paul would disagree with his voter base here. A private place of business has every right to ask for proof of vaccination of its customers in a free market. Customers can still refuse to present the proof, but the business does not have to let them in.
@92RXBV53yrs3Y
No, this is a violation of HIPPA
@9BQGH5ZRepublican2yrs2Y
This is not a violation of HIPPA because you would be willingly giving out your information. You also do not have any right to go to whatever private business you want to. It is no different than a private business requiring clothing and shoes before entry.
@964MGDK2yrs2Y
No, loyal paying customers should not have to reveal their vaccination status in order to receive goods and services from a business.
@9M4L6BN 7mos7MO
You are not a libertarian if you believe that. Libertarians believe a private business can turn down customers for ANY reason. Try again.
@8ZFVKPD3yrs3Y
@92TLYSB3yrs3Y
Yes, But the customers don't have an obligation to answer
@8YXHRC73yrs3Y
@957FK8KRepublican2yrs2Y
Well, no. Some of vaccines may can be dangerous, according to many news and other.
@98CKD4QLibertarian2yrs2Y
No, it's a violation of privacy.
@9M4L6BN 7mos7MO
No it's not. You're free not to answer, and the business is free not to let you in if you don't answer.
@93P477H2yrs2Y
Yes, the business can deny service to anyone for any reason. Actions have consequences.
@8TPXFV2Independent2yrs2Y
Yes, but customers should have the right to refuse answering as well
Deleted2yrs2Y
No, and they should not have the right to ask customers to cover their faces as a condition of service because even doing so is extremely paranoid but trying to force it on someone for any reason is downright insane.
@93F7YQC3yrs3Y
I disagree with the decision to but yes
@93BR6PV3yrs3Y
Yes, the business should have the right to request health information, however people should only share their vaccination card if they have it and if they voluntarly choose to do such action. Although the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) insures health documents of patients are confidential between them and their physician(s), and associated people and organisations (schools, as with children for example) and are thus private, it is important to maintain the health and safety of the community. The patient should have the ability to choose how to disclose medical information, unless if required by law where showing a COVID-19 card is mandated.
@93BNTSZ3yrs3Y
No that’s a persons private medical information and is therefore an infringement on privacy
@93BHCKR3yrs3Y
yes,but when someone isn't vaccinated they should be excused due to health reasons only
@935MFGB3yrs3Y
They can ask but nobody should have to answer.
@92XT2R2Independent3yrs3Y
All health issues including vaccinations should fall under right to privacy act.
@8ZW9K6BProgressive3yrs3Y
Yes if one's place of work surrounds them with a large population of high risk individuals (elderly, those with immune deficiency disorders)
@8ZTHCHSConstitution3yrs3Y
No, it is the private individual's right to withhold that information under the Fourth Amendment.
@8ZT2MBV3yrs3Y
No because some people may not want to share that information
@8ZNFZ2T3yrs3Y
Businesses should be able to determine the safety environment for their workplace. Government should not dictate what this is, but Unions should have a say on behalf of their workers.
@8ZL8JZH3yrs3Y
Yes. Someone does not have to reveal their status but by choosing this option, the business can then choose to serve or deny service to the customer.
@8Z67MLP3yrs3Y
No, that is a HIPPA violation
@8Z2BRNH3yrs3Y
Private businesses should be free to choose for themselves
@996HHKG2yrs2Y
Depending on the business.
@946TTRP2yrs2Y
There should be no private businesses.
@92W4TJ83yrs3Y
It depends on what the business is.
@Kevin-Brown-JR2yrs2Y
No, loyal, paying customers should not have to reveal their vaccination status in order to receive goods and services from a business.
@9M4L6BN 7mos7MO
Then the business should not have to let them on their property. Either you are for property rights, or you're not.
@99GGLWYIndependent2yrs2Y
Yes, when the health and safety of other customers would otherwise be in jeopardy.
@92BL48L3yrs3Y
Yes, but customers have the right not to answer
@8RQ55J4 1yr1Y
Yes, but customers should have the right to refuse to provide it
@99QTTQGConstitution2yrs2Y
No, this is a violation of HIPPA.
@92PVHJW3yrs3Y
@9BNLJJQ2yrs2Y
Private businesses can have access to that kind of information but must keeping short of any further move.
@9BNHCRT2yrs2Y
Yes but only if necessary.
Yes I’m certain instances
@9BM9DPZ2yrs2Y
Yes, if the private business is in contact with the costumer
@9BLXCSG2yrs2Y
Yes, if it’s relevant to the field that the business is in
@9BLVK7ZIndependent2yrs2Y
No, but maybe during COVID?
@9BLTV642yrs2Y
yes, but the customer doesn't have to answer
@9BLN4Z42yrs2Y
Only for important vaccinations such as COVID and TB
@9BLLQDV2yrs2Y
@9BLDLFS2yrs2Y
Depends on what the business does for the costumer
@9BLDW8S2yrs2Y
Yes, but they can't discriminate against it
@9BLDDV22yrs2Y
I think it depends on the type of vaccination and the type of business.
@9BLC4RX2yrs2Y
It depends on the business it shouldn't be a issue overall.
@9BKT6642yrs2Y
Yes, but only during a public health emergency.
@9BKPWCP2yrs2Y
Yes, but they do not have the right to ban customers for being unvaccinated.
@9BKKTSB2yrs2Y
Yes they have the right to ask, but the customers have the right to refuse.
@9BKK9QC2yrs2Y
in a closed area, and they should have an option to say or not say whether they do or don't have the vaccine.
@9BKHXBJConstitution2yrs2Y
Yes, but they don't have the right to ban customers for being unvaccinated.
@9BHFJG32yrs2Y
Yes, private businesses should have the rights to accept or deny anyone.
@9BH4ZP32yrs2Y
Yes. Private businesses have the right to ask their customers to do anything they want. Customers then get to choose if they want to comply or not patronize the business.
@9BFFRL92yrs2Y
I suppose so, it is freedom of speech however the customers shouldn't be forced to state yes or no
@9B94BHK2yrs2Y
No, but they can if they wish to, however, there should be no legal denial of service to the customer depending on their answer
@9B7LP7Z2yrs2Y
Yes and no, it depends on the business and what vaccinations are necessarily "required".
@9B7JVV22yrs2Y
in times of public saftey concern than yes
@9B5BV9ZConstitution2yrs2Y
Absolutely not. A business does not have the medical capabilities of understanding something like this. As the CDC has recently stated, an infected person has just as much immunity to COVID as a vaxed person. Vaccinations are designed to prevent a person from getting a disease, which the current vax does not do. So ultimately we are asking a server to determine a persons ability to take part in society.
@9B2VTPV2yrs2Y
Yes, only for medical reasons
@9B2DS4X2yrs2Y
no its their bissness weather they are vaccinated or not.
I think customers should have to right to either reveal or withhold their vaccinations status based on personal concerns and circumstances.
No, but we must ban all private industry
depends on the business and what the vaccine is for
@99YQ3MJ2yrs2Y
No, that is part of your privacy that you shouldn't have to share with others
They have the right to ask, but it's probably not a good idea for a business to question its customers.
@99XS6YB2yrs2Y
If it is applicable to the saftey of the business, then yes
They are allowed to ask but shouldn’t force the answer out of someone
@99VJFT42yrs2Y
Yes, and customers should be allowed to lie or refuse as protected first amendment speech
@99T2CLV2yrs2Y
Private businesses have the right to ask but do not have the right to compel customers to involuntarily submit that information.
@99QW3NJ2yrs2Y
Depending on the nature of the business
@99QH52W2yrs2Y
Depends on the circumstance(s).
@99LMVGW2yrs2Y
No, only places such as hospitals should be allowed to force your status out of you.
@99G3SFP2yrs2Y
Yes, as long as they are willing to be shot in the face.
@997653X2yrs2Y
It should be optional and not grounds for firing
@98W7CKQ2yrs2Y
Yes but the government should not be able to apply pressure to the matter
@98V2S9Y2yrs2Y
This idea is very nuanced and should be more than a yes or no
@98V2N8GIndependent2yrs2Y
Yes, but it has to be a direct threat to the ability for the potential employee to interact with the customers or patients I.e. Healthcare industry.
@98S4ZQV2yrs2Y
Why are we still asking this if it’s a national health threat?
@98N84XZ2yrs2Y
Yes, but it depends on the field of work
@98DJDJ22yrs2Y
Yes, however customers can choose not to answer
No, it is discrimination to ask customers or employees about their personal healthcare choices.
@985DBSG2yrs2Y
No, this is a HEPPA violation and a violation of our constitutional rights, BUT businesses should have the right to ask if you are vaccinated for epidemics, such as COVID 19. When asking they should give to option to decline to answer.
@97MR4TP2yrs2Y
It depends base on what their business is mainly based on
@97LGH9XIndependent2yrs2Y
No! It’s none of their business
@974RDCF2yrs2Y
Yes, but only if the owners have a medical issue or are at high risk.
