If they can ask for your COVID vaccine status, they can ask for your other vaccines, your HIV status, they can ask for the results of your latest colonoscopy, your blood pressure, your blood sugar, all in the name of a "healthy workplace."



That sounds like the slippery slope fallacy. COVID is a wide- and fast-spreading, current risk to public health. You don't need to ask for more, because nothing else is in the same ballpark.


I never understood this "fallacy", it's really common for laws and policies to build upon themselves. You call it the slippery slope fallacy, I call it slowly boiling the frog. People adapt and suddenly it's the new normal.
