Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Dak Prescott is being ridiculed by legal experts -- as well as anyone with a basic knowledge of medical privacy laws.
During a press conference on Friday, Prescott was asked whether he had been vaccinated against the novel coronavirus.
""I don't necessarily think that's exactly important," Prescott replied. "I think that's HIPAA."

How are you feeling mom?
You know I cant talk about that!
No. No one believes that. No one.

(65,058 posts)...I think the silliness comes from a belief that HIPPA means nobody can even ask you about your medical status.
Not that they can't tell people, but they stupidly believe it's illegal to ask about it.
And yes, I actually do think some people believe that.
You & I know how ridiculously wrong they are, but they believe it.
I think Prescott was issuing a veiled threat by telling a reporter he shouldn't be asking.
He's obviously not as bright as I thought he may be.

Admittedly, quarterbacks used to be a cut above the average, but that was when they actually called plays and ran the offense.
