My wife received an "official email" from her employer stating that vaccinated employees no longer have to do all the Covid theatre with the masks, temp checks, questionnaires, etc. Non-vaccinated employees, such as my wife, however, are still treated as "unclean ones", and must continue to do all of the above. Which has the result of her being singled out by her coworkers as an "anti-vaxxer", etc. It's also, I'm quite sure, a precursor into their next step; making the jab mandatory for employment.
I'm not trying to get multiple posts about how she needs to "stop being a cuck" and throw away her mask, etc; I'm wanting to know just how actually legal/illegal it is for an employer to incentivize getting a non-FDA medical treatment like this, and what, if anything, she can do, legally speaking, to fight back without losing her job in the process.

Edit for clarification, because some of these answers are for a slightly different question: She is technically not being required to get the jab (yet); she's just being forced to wear an article of clothing, etc, that other employees are not, based solely on her personal health decisions. Someone below even said their employer offered $1K to incentivize employees to get [this still very much non-FDA approved, "emergency use only" treatment]. Wow, that's a bad thing to be in any way legal.

This is what's bizarre to me. It's like HIPAA went out the window for this. It should be this simple:

Employer: "Did you get your covid vaccination?"

Employee: "Id rather not reveal my medical information."

Employer: "Fair enough."

Same with masks:

Employer: "We require a mask to enter the building."

Employee: "I have personal reasons that don't allow me to wear a mask."

Employer: "Fair enough."

Employers aren't even supposed to be allowed to ask you "did you get a vaccine". That's a violation of HIPAA. The most they can do, is ask "Do you have any medical conditions that may affect your ability to do your duties or remain safe?", which is a reasonable question, which you can lie about, or answer "I'd rather not say."

Now, they get to check your fucking temperature every day. It's a slippery slope- now they want your temp and covid test results. Soon they'll want your blood, your genetic profile, etc..

That's exactly where we are going. Question though; Why can schools ask for vaccination records?

They shouldn't be allowed to. But hysterical parents accommodated this for so long, that it kinda just became the norm. That's what they're doing with covid.

I see a lot of folks in the comments suggesting forging vaccine cards. That might work right now. But soon, they'll be checking them- phoning the office where you supposedly got the jab to confirm the info on your "papers" checks out.

Congratulations, you've just committed forgery- that's going to be a real problem for you. You think these assholes haven't already thought of the possibility of people lying and forging vaccination documents? They're years ahead of us on this shit.

I think it's because it's a public institution that has all the kids go to that the law made an exception for it for the common good or some bs like that.

These so-called "vaccines" have been designated by the FDA as "Emergency Use Authorization," since they have NOT received all the rigorous testing required for legitimate vaccines. As such, their application is VOLUNTARY and requires FULLY-INFORMED CONSENT. Tell'em to fsck themselves.

We are being conditioned to reveal our medical history to the people we shouldn't be revealing our medical history too as well!

Not only that, its almost a forced topic in any social interaction now.

Whenever it gets volunteered to me, I congratulate them for violating their HIPAA and showing they don't value privacy or anyone else's. All I get back is the deer in the headlights look. There's far too much dead weight walking around.

I did that at costco, and the guy asked what my exemption was. More later Apologies, had to run. Anyway, we were finishing shopping and a couple different employees continued to question us on the mask thing. As we were paying we were told our membership fees would be refunded, and we could not shop there any more. Paid and left, have not been back. Got a renewal notice the other day, with a 10$ " gift voucher " if we renew. If they pursue the mask thing, I'm out. They have good beef, and are a good store for bulk, pantry building, and expansion, but, I will take my shekels elsewhere rather than go woke.

My exemption: My Brain REQUIRES a high level of Oxygen, or else I'll become as dull as a mask wearer, perhaps even collapse on someone and (shudder!) contaminate them with my bodily fluids!

You can't really rely on HIPAA as much as you'd think. It's mostly focused around health care providers and HR departments. In most cases you can use it to scare someone off but that doesn't work when someone understands the nuances.

How is that? Im not arguing because I've never (like most) looked into it. Just curious.

HIPAA is a massive piece of legislation. Most of it has nothing to do with the average person. The sections that pertain to patient information and the use of it are overly broad and seem to be designed to allow the Feds maximum leeway to prosecute people. There's not as much in there about patients exercising the right to limit who can ask for the data as you'd think. Your employer can ask you to tell them all sorts of stuff. They can make your employment conditional on the answer you give. They just have to be careful disseminating the information you provide.
