Dr. Fauci admits his wearing masks indoors despite being vaccinated was based on imagery, not science:

No mask mandates in Texas...

Gov. Greg. Abbott says no public schools or government entities will be allowed to require masks

While 30% of Texans have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, the vast majority of children are unvaccinated. The Pfizer vaccine was authorized last week for children as young as 12.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott issues executive order prohibiting government entities from mandating masks

The governor promised to "continue to mitigate COVID-19 while defending Texans' liberty to choose whether or not they mask up."

abc13.com

The Tribune is not a fan of Abbott nor Republicans/conservatives in general. The article does not note that children are significantly less at peril from COVID than anybody.

But to the Tribune's credit they do include the following:

Despite dire warnings about the potential impact of removing the statewide mask mandate, key pandemic metrics in Texas have not spiked since then and have gone down in most cases. On Sunday, the state health department had its first day in over a year without reporting a COVID-19 death.

No, most businesses won’t violate HIPAA by asking customers if they’ve been vaccinated

After the updated CDC mask guidance for people fully vaccinated against COVID-19, some wondered if businesses can legally ask customers if they’ve been vaccinated.

The CDC says HIPAA is a federal law “that required the creation of national standards to protect sensitive patient health information from being disclosed without the patient’s consent or knowledge.”

One of the rules created to protect people’s health information is the privacy rule, which sets standards for the use and disclosure of people's protected health information. The privacy rule applies to what are called “covered entities.”

There are three different categories of covered entities, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). One group is health care providers, including doctors, clinics and pharmacies, that electronically transmit health information in connection with certain transactions, such as claims or benefit eligibility inquiries. The second category is health plans, which include health insurance companies and government programs that pay for health care, such as Medicare and Medicaid. The third is health care clearinghouses, which HHS says includes billing services and repricing companies.

The HIPAA privacy rule also applies to business associates, which HHS defines as “a person or organization, other than a member of a covered entity's workforce, that performs certain functions or activities on behalf of, or provides certain services to, a covered entity that involve the use or disclosure of individually identifiable health information.”

HHS says protected health information under HIPAA includes information that relates to a person’s past, present or future physical or mental health or condition. HHS has a list of what information is protected on its website.

While HIPAA rules apply to covered entities and specific business associates, the rules don’t extend to most businesses, according to Glenn Cohen, a professor at Harvard Law School.

“Because the average business is not a covered entity or a business associate of a covered entity within the meaning of HIPAA, the statute does not prohibit them asking them about vaccination status,” Cohen said in an email to the VERIFY team.

Bingo and I am not getting the bathtub brew vaccine either.
I have been seeing fewer and fewer masks lately. People are done.

Well, anyone with half a brain is anyway.

So once you give a non-healthcare business any of your medical information, they are free to broadcast or publish it anyway they feel like. Seems like all the more reason to not give them anything.

My searches on this topic seem to result in one of two answers, they are not covered under any laws concerning asking or maintaining or that it has not been adjudicated to this point. The other law they may run into is ADA and its far reaching tentacles...
