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 3wks3W
Wrong. You can catch a virus, even if you are vaccinated.
@9M4L6BN 3wks3W
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.
@92RXBV52yrs2Y
No, this is a violation of HIPPA
@9BQGH5ZRepublican1yr1Y
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 3wks3W
You are not a libertarian if you believe that. Libertarians believe a private business can turn down customers for ANY reason. Try again.
@8ZFVKPD2yrs2Y
Private businesses shouldn't exist
@92TLYSB2yrs2Y
Yes, But the customers don't have an obligation to answer
@996HHKG1yr1Y
Depending on the business.
@946TTRP2yrs2Y
There should be no private businesses.
@92W4TJ82yrs2Y
It depends on what the business is.
@Kevin-Brown-JR1yr1Y
No, loyal, paying customers should not have to reveal their vaccination status in order to receive goods and services from a business.
@9M4L6BN 3wks3W
Then the business should not have to let them on their property. Either you are for property rights, or you're not.
@99GGLWYIndependent1yr1Y
Yes, when the health and safety of other customers would otherwise be in jeopardy.
@92BL48L2yrs2Y
Yes, but customers have the right not to answer
@99QTTQGConstitution1yr1Y
No, this is a violation of HIPPA.
@98CKD4QLibertarian1yr1Y
No, it's a violation of privacy.
@9M4L6BN 3wks3W
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.
@92PVHJW2yrs2Y
No, this is a violation of privacy
@8YXHRC72yrs2Y
@9BNLJJQ1yr1Y
Private businesses can have access to that kind of information but must keeping short of any further move.
@9BNHCRT1yr1Y
Yes but only if necessary.
Yes I’m certain instances
@9BM9DPZ1yr1Y
Yes, if the private business is in contact with the costumer
@9BLXCSG1yr1Y
Yes, if it’s relevant to the field that the business is in
@9BLVK7ZIndependent1yr1Y
No, but maybe during COVID?
@9BLTV641yr1Y
yes, but the customer doesn't have to answer
This depends, considering vaccination status is a private matter. But since it’s a private company, I don’t see it any less important and in their right to ask for these things. If schools can do it, private businesses should as well.
@9BLN4Z41yr1Y
Only for important vaccinations such as COVID and TB
@9BLLQDV1yr1Y
@9BLDLFS1yr1Y
Depends on what the business does for the costumer
@9BLDW8S1yr1Y
Yes, but they can't discriminate against it
@9BLDDV21yr1Y
I think it depends on the type of vaccination and the type of business.
@9BLC4RX1yr1Y
It depends on the business it shouldn't be a issue overall.
@9BL8CZ41yr1Y
Yes, but the withholding of services is immoral.
@9BKT6641yr1Y
Yes, but only during a public health emergency.
@9BKPWCP1yr1Y
Yes, but they do not have the right to ban customers for being unvaccinated.
@9BKKTSB1yr1Y
Yes they have the right to ask, but the customers have the right to refuse.
@9BKK9QC1yr1Y
in a closed area, and they should have an option to say or not say whether they do or don't have the vaccine.
@9BKHXBJConstitution1yr1Y
Yes, but they don't have the right to ban customers for being unvaccinated.
