@trinsec lol its about whatever you want it to be. Mostly just showing that pro-choice logic applied to vaccines doesnt work. Where and why there is a fault is a matter of opinion. But yea I'd say its more about abortion than the virus.

@freemo haven't read any Pratchett in probably 10 years, clearly this needs to change

Dutch Springs is closing!!! NNNNOOOOOoooooo!!! Not only is this tragic because as a SCUBA diver its my go-to place when in the north-east, but more importantly its the only good space for training of new divers in the whole region. This will devastate the SCUBA industry in the north-east.

@startear Great to have you and nice to meet you. I look forward to hearing your posts and ideas.

Hey, I'm using Mastodon for a few weeks now. Over time I got some ideas about Mastodon instances and FOSS in general. I am here because I would like to share it with the world (preferably without being limited to 500 characters) and would like to hear your feedback

@pthenq1 No, I wouldnt say the proper response to companies violating medical protections and anonymity is to cater to them, not at all. Thats like saying black people just shouldnt apply to companies that prefer to hire whites. It is an inappropriate response to a moral violation.

@pthenq1 It would be the moral duty to lie in such a situation IMO as a way of protesting the violation of their medical privacy.

@pthenq1 Also lets not even forget the religious exemption clause. Even if there was a good way for employers to reliably and consistently verify vaccinations, all a person has to do is state their religious beleifs prevent them from being vaccinated and it would be illegal for the company to do the probe at all. The company would have to prove the person is lying (which is hard to do).

So again while companies might make that requirement it is near to impossible to enforce.

@pthenq1

Again, yes you can be asked if you are vaccinated. But it is very very trivial to lie as there is no consistent and objective way for a person to prove they are vaccinated due to HIPAA making it impossible for the companies to access doctor records directly.

All you have to say is you were vaccinated in a state where there is no vaccine registry (which is most states) and they can probe all they want but they have no legal way to verify your vaccinated.

@hast0011@mstdn.social Yes its volatility is a good reason to be cautious. As for there being no equivelant in the real world... thats probably the best reason to invest.

@pthenq1 Also it is limited to california and if you are vaccinated out of state or out of country likewise the registry doesnt work... So a multitude of reasons companies cant use that system.

@pthenq1 That is for the vaccine registry, which is voluntary and does not cover all individuals. I can be perfectly vaccinated and not be in that registry and may not be able to even get added to it after the fact.

So no companies cant really lean on that.

@pthenq1 Companies are perfectly welcome to ask for a vaccine probe, what they cant do is demand your private medical records to prove it. Therefore they cant really verify it.

@stux valid.. just need to wire a full desktop computer up to your bike and you will be set :)
