Novel corona-covid 19 is as deadly as the flu, My personal health record is NOBODIES business and this government mandated Covid health passport is unconstitutional by any stretch of the imagination.

You might want to actually read who HIPPA applies to before dying on that mountain.
Wrong.
HIPAA laws do prevent your health info from being released without your knowledge and consent.
Only in specific situations. It is supposed to prevent medical providers who have your medical records because they provided a medical service to you from releasing those records without your permission. Anybody can ask any medical question they want to ask, and can release any information they might have unless they are a medical provider that is regulated by hipaaWrong.

HIPPA applies to health plans, health care clearinghouses, and health care providers and their respective contractors/employees. It does not apply to airlines who can require proof of vaccination to board.

No. Airlines are not covered by HIPAA rules.HIPAA (you spelled it wrong, common mistake), does apply to everyone.
The airlines does not have your medical info, but if you give it to them, they had better be bound by HIPAA and not pass it around.
But airlines do have the right to demand to know if you are a medical threat.
However, a vaccine history does NOTHING to determine if you are a medical threat or not.
Viral loading is the same whether or not vaccinated, if you are infected.
I know it sounds reasonable to you that anyone in possession of medical information or records should be required to protect them, but that just isn't the case. Many laws, just like HIPAA and the 2nd amendment, that so many people are so fond of mentioning don't always say what right wingers think they say.Wrong.
You said anyone can ask any medical question they want and can release any information.
That is false.
If you do ask a medical question, then you most certainly can not then release it without permission of the patient.
HIPAA does not just apply to medical providers.
Specifically, if an airlines representative asks a medical question, then HIPAA most certainly does apply, and they can not release it.
I work in medical fields and to pass tests on HIPAA.
It has been awhile, but I am sure of this.
No. Airlines are not covered by HIPAA rules.

I've worked in healthcare billing at the corporate level for over 10 years now.
I can tell you for a FACT, that India has ALL of our private health related information.
And the Chinese get it from India, as well as the USA.
Healthcare billing centers and third party billing companies that handle most of the actual healthcare billing in this country, all outsource 75% of it to India for processing.
I worked for one healthcare billing company that stated in their service contracts to clients/customers "All billing and billing related processes are handled in house, inside the United States". Which was a LIE.....as they sent most of the billing work to a company over in India!!!
Even the healthcare billing company I work for right now sends most of the billing processes to India.
If you think your healthcare information is PRIVATE, you are SADLY, SADLY, SAAAAAAAADLY mistaken!!!!
I'm hoping someone can verify this. I was in the health care field when HIPPAA first came out. Remember reading something about that before HIPPAA any govt agency had to get a warrant from a judge to get medical records, after HIPPAA: "Warrants?! We don't need no steenkin warrants!!" Anyone know anything about this?
The ACLU begs to differYes, police do not have legal access to the records of anyone without a warrant signed by a judge or magistrate.
By the way, it is HIPAA.
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
{...
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA or the Kennedy–Kassebaum Act[1][2]) is a United States federal statute enacted by the 104th United States Congress and was a bipartisan effort. The law was signed by President Bill Clinton on August 21, 1996. It modernized the flow of healthcare information, stipulates how personally identifiable information maintained by the healthcare and healthcare insurance industries should be protected from fraud and theft, and addressed some limitations on healthcare insurance coverage.[3] It generally prohibits healthcare providers and healthcare businesses, called covered entities, from disclosing protected information to anyone other than a patient and the patient's authorized representatives without their consent. With limited exceptions, it does not restrict patients from receiving information about themselves.[4] It does not prohibit them from voluntarily sharing their health information however they choose, or – if they disclose medical information to family members, friends, or other individuals not a part of a covered entity – legally require them to maintain confidentiality.
The act consists of five titles. Title I of HIPAA protects health insurance coverage for workers and their families when they change or lose their jobs.[5] Title II of HIPAA, known as the Administrative Simplification (AS) provisions, requires the establishment of national standards for electronic health care transactions and national identifiers for providers, health insurance plans, and employers.[6] Title III sets guidelines for pre-tax medical spending accounts, Title IV sets guidelines for group health plans, and Title V governs company-owned life insurance policies. ...}
No. The HIPAA laws are very specific about who is bound by the law. If you aren't on that list you aren't bound by that law.Wrong.
All health information is required to be kept private by everyone, under HIPAA rules.
Your source is not concerned about legality or completeness, and was just giving 3 examples.
But just tell me a single source of health care information that is not covered by those 3 examples?
Anyone giving vaccination is a health care provider and is listed.
I have implemented medical databases, so have had to take classes on HIPAA and passed federally administered HIPAA testing.
And airlines, as employers, definitely ARE restricted by HIPAA.
They can not access or demand employee health information.
