My Take: If a Politician or Commentator Discusses Vaccines, their Vaccine Status must be Made Public

No more hiding behind HIPAA excuses (Greene, I'm talking about you).

Let's see who is placing this country at risk and whether or not they are doing so under the umbrella of a vaccinated person. If someone is a true anti-vaxxer, they would not have received the vaccine. And if they did so as part of an employer directive, they need to sit this conversation out.

Anyone receiving the protections of a vaccine and dissuading others from that same protection should be held responsible for the carnage to some degree. If they were 'forced' to get the vaccine, they still enjoy its protections and that makes them a little more cavalier to what they say, who they meet, and how they behave.

But I think their Vax status is a relevant question and they can choose to answer or not.

If they try to hide behind HIPAA, the media should make fun of them for not understanding the HIPAA law.

Most would acknowledge it and say, "I'm vaccinated, but don't feel my neighbor needs to be vaccinated".."The government shouldn't decide who gets vaccinated"...crap like that....
