Dak is one of the few likeable professional athletes. Too bad he plays for the cowboys, but we won't hold that against him.

No it doesn't. People don't understand HIPPA. It only applies to Healthcare providers releasing patient health information.

This is correct. I just went through a case at work and had to read up on this.
An example would be if someone's condition/injury history could potentially cause a dangerous situation or accident for himself or others. People working with or around him should be aware of that.

Couldn’t agree more my friend.

Well a vikings coach was forced to quit because of it. Methinks that violates HIPAA

HIPAA has nothing to do with someone asking you your health information and you voluntarily disclosing it.
Yes. But if you create an environment where it is either expressly or tacitly required to disclose, then that's the HIPAA version of a Title VII (etc) hostile/abusive work environment. I'll allow.

An employer enforcing a policy is not a “hostile work environment”.

I would say he would be let go, like the OL coach for a team did....but he is the starting QB for the cowboys, and iirc top 5 highest paid player in the league, if not highest. Plus he's black, so may test the NFL's want to push this.
That OL coach is cheering this on I'm sure. Nice lawsuit potential

I think it’s very interesting. The coach that got fired actually has a lawsuit if they enforce the policy unequally.
Dicey situation for the NFL.

From hhs.gov regarding HIPAA:
“Most of us believe that our medical and other health information is private and should be protected, and we want to know who has this information. The Privacy Rule, a Federal law, gives you rights over your health information and sets rules and limits on who can look at and receive your health information.”
Some things may not technically violate hipaa while violating the spirit of the legislation which was to create an atmosphere where your health information was treated as sacrosanct and your privacy was respected.

Players don’t face the same stipulations, so it’s more manageable to keep an unvaccinated player

Are unvaccinated players allowed in meetings?
If not, does a starting QB never need to attend meetings?

Hipaa applies to covered entities only.
An employer has to keep health info as confidential as possible but can disclose on a need to know basis for purposes of enforcing policies.

He will be on a ventilator within 48 hours. Death is imminent. That's what my TV said.

This is a problem in our society with respect for general right to privacy. Ie...no one needs to know how much someone makes or is worth or anything else, etc.
Baffles me how people don't understand it. The look people give you when they ask you personal questions and you say it's private. Like they never learned privacy etiquette and how rude it is to ask people certain questions.

It’s ok for policies to have seperate rules for different classification of employees
As someone in the medical field you should understand that. Our doctors policies are different from those that work in corporate
