So the people who screamed that it was a HIPPA[sic] violation just to ask if somebody was vaccinated want to actually violate HIPAA.
Yeah, that tracks.

Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

They need to identify all of the transgender people so they can prevent the transgender people from being a danger to people's privacy.
Or something.
Ok now let's see Trump's
“We need to know who has peepee, who has vageen.”
What "vague" when this fucking regime wants only white Christian straights to have all the benefits of being, uh, "American".
The price of govt access to health data is universal healthcare. Otherwise our histories might as well be posted to the insurance companies so they know who to deny.
You first, you fatass pig.
The Trump admin talks about the Iran war, and it appears to have been quite real, but it is the people and their laws which seem to be constantly in the Admin's sights. The people are getting one "bombshell" news item after another where long-settled law is under attack (in this case medical records privacy). Has the Executive Branch been taken over by a hostile economic power, either a foreign government or a corporate syndicate of some kind?
They may want to sell it to their friends to train a medical AI model.
That's okay. Just tell the government you didn't agree to anything like that when you signed up. They'll respect that.
