    to which I've written a letter to Gov Desantis today re his tying his opposition to the vaccination passport to HIPPA regulations:

    Dear Gov. Desantis:
     
    While I can understand your position re: HIPPA rules on privacy of health matters, since we have encountered, endured and experienced this pandemic called COVID19 for more than a year, and vaccinations have proven successful in stopping/slowing its spread, I cannot for the life of me understand your opposition to the so-called vaccine  passports.  You have not opposed the proof of being COVID19 negative to anyone entering the United States of America as a violation of HIPPA, so why this discrepancy?
     
    I have been vaccinated and travelled out of the Country last month, had my COVID19 test which was negative, and presented it to American Airlines - a publicly traded corporation - as proof of my negative status in order to board the plane.  Did I worry that my  HIPPA rights were violated?  NO, I did not.
     
    I currently have a cruise booked for January on Oceania Cruise Line, which is requiring 100% of crew and passengers to be vaccinated prior to boarding here in Florida, with proof thereof.  I will provide to the cruise line proof of vaccination, just as I provided American Airlines proof I was tested and found negative for infection with COVID19, and again, I will not worry about my HIPPA rights.  If I was, I would not cruise, would I?!
     
    It is my firm belief that this cruise line and its parent holding company, NCLH, are acting in the best interest of their passengers and crew by requiring such proof of vaccination, and I will GLADLY COMPLY with their terms.
     
    Please reconsider your ban on vaccine passports; it just doesn't make any sense.
     
    Sincerely,
