@hansw I agree with you about medical staff. I think they should be the one group required to disclose if they arent vaccinated and if so patients should have the option not to see them and clinics should have the option not to hire them. Also clinics should be required to disclose if their staff is not vaccinated. Only as a special case though, outside of that setting id strongly oppose that being legal to do (medical history privacy in my eyes is a sacred right).

The thing about people who refuse to get vaccinated for covid and what to do with them... to me their choice is a responsible one and I dont feel we should do anything with them, nor should we have the legal right to try to. In fact I 'd go the opposite side and say that it should be illegal to require a medical history probe (such as asking if someone is vaccinated) in order to get into an event with the only exception being private-only events specifically targeted require immunocompromised people to be there as part of the event, which isnt most events.

So yea I'd say the answer is, nothing, and you should be legally obligated to not be able to do anything about them. The only way you could respond to that happenstance would be:

1) get vaccinated yourself if you can

2) Avoid large group settings if you cant get vaccinated

3) Develop technology that can effectively actively detect infected individuals in real time without the need to take blood or other invasive processes.

4) do screenings (which are limited in effectiveness) at the door to check temperatures or signs of sickness as a way to reduce risk.

Beyond that I feel you just need to accept their legal (should be) and moral right to both their own medical anonymity and the right to bodily autonomy.
