Amazon brands vaccinated employees, forces private COVID decisions public

At Amazon, employees are not allowed to keep one particular medical decision private.

Amazon is forcing its employees to brand themselves with stickers indicating they’ve received a COVID-19 vaccination, even if they’d prefer to keep that medical decision private. This move also forces employees to disclose if they have not received a vaccine.

The decision, which impacts all U.S. Field Operations employees, suggests Amazon doesn’t trust its own staff to be honest about their vaccination status.

Starting early this month, fully vaccinated employees will wear a green sticker on their badge.

The sticker indicates the employee can work without a mask because they are fully vaccinated. By the end of the month, associates will be asked to upload their vaccination cards to an internal system.

If you do not wish to reveal your vaccination status, or simply do not want to take a vaccine, you will be forced to keep on a mask and go without a sticker. It’s like a reverse Scarlet letter.

Consequently, coworkers may ask them why they’re not vaccinated, prying into a personal medical decision when it’s not their business. Or, much worse, the Amazon employee may feel pressured into the vaccine, even if they do not yet need one or want one

You are allowed to ask the employee if they have been vaxxed. You are allowed to ask them to provide proof of vaccination.
You are not allowed to verify that info with a health care provider.

Every time I see stuff like this, I keep thinking of all those legal commercials: “Were you or someone you love forced to wear a mask and suffered serious harm, injury or even death?”

If we are going to ask any question like that, then the real question should always be: “Do you have anti-bodies for this thing?”

Current evidence is that people who have recovered from COVID have immunity equal to or better than the immunity of people who have had the vaccine.

That should could for something.
But no. They have have a really unnatural emphasis on the Jab. Did you get the Jab? You need to have the Jab. Why didn’t you get the Jab?

Seriously weird. I’m not going near that thing. They are pushing much too hard.

The MASK is the Scarlet letter.

At the deepest level, everyone is essentially volunteering to take this experimental medicine. The lawyers won’t have much to work with. Especially with this thing being manifestly political. Lawsuits will all die real quick. “It’s your own damn fault.”

Blatant HIPAA violation. Should be a massive employee law suit.

“If we are going to ask any question like that, then the real question should always be: ‘Do you have anti-bodies for this thing?’”

It’s not about the virus. It’s always been about political control. If it were about illness, the antibodies question would #1, not a forced invasion of a person’s body.

And they were overwhelmingly about FDA approved medical products .... while this isn’t.

The government is also hiding data on the “effectivness” of the vaccine. If they’re refusing to collect info on its ineffectivness, of course they’ll ignore reports of problems.

C.D.C. Will Not Investigate Mild Infections in Vaccinated Americans
At least 10,000 vaccinated people were infected with the coronavirus through the end of April. Now the agency has stopped pursuing the mildest cases.

Then just say “Yes” .... being naturally ‘vax’d, or, perhaps with Fauci’s approved *early* “vax” of HCQ.

Amazon is a classic example of a company that needs to be unionized. They are a monopoly with an out-of-control management.

Not HIPAA. It's blatant employment discrimination. See https://www.huschblackwell.com/newsandinsights/50-state-update-on-pending-legislation-pertaining-to-employer-mandated-vaccinations

I hate unions—but Amazon makes them look like saints.
