Kroger had a sign requiring masks.
Maybe 60-70% of people had masks on.
Saw a bunch of nurses, not one wearing a mask.

https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/landlord-says-tenants-must-get-covid-vaccine-you-dont-want-to-get-vaccinated-you-have-to-move/

This is the first I have heard of having to get vaccinated to get or keep your apartment.

Sounds like a landlord is about to lose his apartments in a lawsuit.

Or slapped down by the government. Violating rights is reserved for the government.

What rights would those be again?

The landlord is not evicting people, they are declining to sign new leases with unvaccinated people.

FL Fair housing laws prevent "Refusal to rent or sell housing based on race, color, national origin, sex, handicap, familial status, or religion."  Unless the tenant is claiming a religious exemption, the landlord is within the law.

We are still the side that is against using the government to coerce private citizens into doing business with people they don't want to, right?

Not really.  HIPAA has to do with secure handling of private health information by medical providers, insurance companies, and their (both groups') IT subcontractors.  The IT companies are really covered in a separate bill called (groan) HITECH, but really it just adds them under the HIPAA umbrella so it's easiest to refer to both as HIPAA.

My work sometimes falls under HITECH, and it's a pain in the ass.  Doesn't really add any security that I can see, just makes it hard to access the data I need.  We used to do just fine with non-disclosure agreements and being careful with any sensitive data.  Now, all data from some customers is considered sensitive whether it really is or not (even if the customer says it's not) and is kept on secure servers where I don't have the right tools to analyze it

As long as it's applied equally and fairly. So no baking the cake, and nobody with a BLM or antifa tattoo allowed in any of my rentals (if I still had some). But we know that the cake must be baked, and that a landlord would be sued by NAACP, SPLC and whoever else for refusing rental to the parties mentioned, even though nothing in the law prohibits him from doing so.

So they do it, then we do it, then they don't like something we do, so they get worse, then we get worse in a descending spiral?  (I mean, in your defense, that's clearly what does, in fact, happen)

I do my best to base my actions and responses on my principals, not other peoples actions.  I am not perfect at it, but that's the goal.

Understood. And yeah, in theory I'm against the spiral, but "our side", that is, the freedom and free market side, seems to always be on the losing end on these things, and sometimes I just want vengeance, even though I know I'm playing their game.

Fascinating and long read, an interview with the guy that set Frances vaccine policy for years.

https://www.ukcolumn.org/video/frances-long-time-vaccine-policy-chief-covid-policy-is-completely-stupid-and-unethical
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Privacy Act of 1974 perhaps?  It covers stuff HIPAA doesn't, like your tax records.

https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/u-s-will-require-most-new-immigrants-to-get-coronavirus-vaccine/

Immigrants to the US required to be vaccinated.

I can't tell for sure from the article, but it sounds like that's a requirement for the people legally standing in line, and not the illegals being processed through the Southern border?
