Are your local hospitals in Nashville this stupid?

Knoxville TN

Description

A question Parkwest Hospital in Knoxville (Covenant Health) asks you before they allow you to enter their facility: 1. Have you been vaccinated against the Covid virus pandemic? My answer...you have no right to require me to reveal my personal medical information to enter your facility. Reply: "If you do not answer that question on whether or not you have been vaccinated, we are going to call security and have you thrown out of the hospital." Are you freaking kidding me? A "hospital" that is REQUIRED BY LAW to abide under HIPAA laws asks me to reveal my personal medical information that is protected under THOSE SAME HIPAA laws? And yet said they will still allow me into their facility no matter how I answer the question? I said NOPE, they said, you are free to enter. Then why ask such a stupid question if the answer is irrelevant?? Whoever made that policy to violate my rights under HIPAA laws in order to enter their facility should be sued, and then evaluated...for stupidity.
