Someone asked me whether I’d gotten the vax. I then asked her when was her last rectal exam.

It’s “nun-ya”. None of ya business! I think it’s a hippa violation to even ask such questions, isn’t it?

KC - you’re right, it’s nobody’s beeswax. I also like this response: “Why aren’t you asking me about what other vaccines I’ve gotten…what gives you the right to ask about this particular injection?”. Also, if I may: it is HIPAA, not HIPPA (Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act; the purpose of which was to require providers to buy and use revised software to automate their medical records, which was a farce…but that’s another subject). I also must say about HIPAA - people seem to have the impression that HIPAA created medical confidentiality, which it did not. Medical confidentiality regulations were in place many years before HIPAA, which was created under Bill Clinton. By the way, it did NOTHING to protect patient confidentiality…it has done nothing but increase overhead expenses for providers, and hamper advocates’ attempts to help manage care for their loved ones.
