"Paper's please"

Yes, but why would please belong to Paper? Who is Paper? Why are the coastal elite using space lasers to turn pigs homosexual?
Science, that’s why.

If UT requires vaccination to enter will they refund season ticket holders money for unvaccinated folks? Asking for a friend.

 

[Catbone]

We need the team to hit 85% vaccinated for no testing correct?

TRASHHHHH, I honestly don't mind watching it on TV anyways, my couch sits much better than bleachers

Dang that apostrophe will get you every time

 

[BucVol98]

Good.

You serious Clark?

 

[butchna]

That’s dumb as h@ll…. I’m vaccinated but can’t imagine how much it is going to suck trying to get into the stadium with them checking vaccine cards.

The smartphones are ratcheting up the apps last I read. Football finds a way.

Already doing it in Europe.

Public proof of vaccination not allowed in TN.

Good, also why would HIPAA not protect people from this garbage?

If you want to tank your attendance then this is a great idea. People will sue as this is a clear violation of HIPPA laws.

That was my thought

LOL! The government has shown clearly that they do not care about laws

Not if you get it.

I’m not sure this is accurate. HIPAA restricts medical professionals from disclosing your health information without your consent. There are no medical professionals in this equation.

They didn't ban business or schools from mandating vaccine passports or did they? I thought I read that they banned the government from mandating them or requiring business to mandate them.

That's my understanding for Indiana as well, and UT is a government entity. Two of my kids go to IU southeast and they require a vaccination statement, but can't legally require proof per law. The statement of vaccination requirement was recently upheld by the supreme court.

Also, I just had to submit proof of vaccination to my employer in KY.

Technically correct. However, the state or authority requiring it assumes the position of being medical professionals when they mandate or legally require disclosure of vaccination and test status. It needs lots of legal challenges to flesh it out because the State of LA controls that state university and the state has medical professionals in their employment or contracted that are making the recommendation to mandate the vaccine or negative tests.

Not arguing for or against the vaccination to attend aspect here, but do want to point out that it actually is not a HIPPA violation. That’s a common misconception.

If smart, they'll have rapid tests outside. That makes it very flexible for everyone.

Don't think that would go over well with Drunk Crazy Cajuns

This stuff is ripe for some attorneys to get a hold of this when an employee refuses and gets fired and files a wrongful termination lawsuit.

That was done away with it seems.

Here are the fall guidelines:

http://a.espncdn.com/sec/media/2021/SEC Task Force Recommendations August 2021.pdf


It reads as:

Vaxxed - no mask, no routine testing, tested if with symptoms though. Not considered "close contact".

Unvaxxed - mask, routine testing, and of course symptoms testing. Can be considered "close contact"

Applies to all teams, even 100% vaxxed ones.

 

[Rishvol]

Good.
