They might not be allowed to ask those types of questions. HIPPA rules?

Any question can be asked, HIPAA means they don't have to answer. It would be easier if the NFL just put in a vaccine mandate, then if they wanted to play they'd have no choice but to get it.

HIPAA does not apply.

HIPAA only prevents medical providers from disclosing medical information to unauthorized persons. It does not prevent someone from asking about your own medical information.

HIPAA has to be one of the most mis-quoted misunderstood things right under freedom of speech. It applies to medical professionals and businesses, they are not allowed to disclose your medical information. They must maintain your privacy. They can share with other professionals if given permission but must maintain security of the info. Finally they must notify you if there is a breach.

It does not apply when say a reporter asks you if you have been vaccinated or not. You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to, but hipaa doesn’t play a part in that.

PHILADELPHIA -- Four Washington Nationals players and eight staffers have tested positive for COVID-19, forcing Major League Baseball to postpone their game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday night.

The postponement came one day after Nationals All-Star shortstop Trea Turner exited the game against Philadelphia in the first inning following his positive test for the virus.

Washington manager Dave Martinez said Turner was among four players who tested positive. He didn't identify the others.

The Nationals reached the 85% vaccination threshold for players and other on-field personnel in late May, which allowed for relaxed protocols.

Martinez said he believes only one of the 12 individuals who tested positive is unvaccinated. Sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan that a number of the breakthrough cases came from those given the single-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

The Nationals-Phillies matchup was scheduled to be made up as part of a straight doubleheader on Thursday starting at 12:05 p.m. ET.

This was the ninth MLB game called off this year because of coronavirus concerns. The Nationals had their season-opening series at home against the New York Mets called off because of virus issues.

MLB announced the Nationals-Phillies postponement about 90 minutes before the game was set to begin at Citizens Bank Park, and said the time would allow for "continued testing and contact tracing involving members of the Nationals organization.''

There were 45 MLB games postponed because of the virus last year during the pandemic-shortened season. All but two of them were eventually made up.
