Anti-vax rental requirement

Sadly, a school I have rented from - anyone else heard of this?
I pride myself on being able to fly with even the most rabid right wingers, but this is a new low.

Multifunction Cardiogram (MCG) Requirement​

Effective January 22, 2023: All students or renters who have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 mRNA injection, and who wish to act as pilot in command (PIC) in our aircraft, must complete a Multifunction Cardiogram (MCG) and show proof of completing this test before their first solo flight or rental. All students and renters who present us with proof of payment for the test will receive a $250 credit on their flight training and aircraft rental account — so the test won’t cost you anything. We don’t need to see your test results, just a receipt for payment for the test. It is our hope that this effort will encourage all pilots to get tested, find out where they stand, and get help if necessary.

We had something somewhat similar with the owner of a 141 school here.

Not quite. One is based on actual science and other is based on Fox News.

Fox news is touting heart problems related to the vaccine? Link please.

You well know what I’m getting at.

Lol. Well the first part of you're original sentence wasn't correct either. So I wasn't really expecting the latter part to be any more factual.

Under HIPAA, I think the proof of payment is subject to the same privacy protections as the actual test results. Weird that they would want customers to disclose and assume the burden of holding that health information in their busienss records. Hope they don'ethave any unpermitted releases of that info. Anyhoo.

They're not a Covered Entity so HIPAA likely doesn't apply.

It's still a weird ask.

I’m going to guess this place is located in a state with less than stellar education standards.

This is why we can’t have nice things.

Do you think this flight school has a FOQA level program to protect the identity of the participants?

So this system is supposed to protect the identity of the customers that "got the jab" and this MCG test, what's stopping someone from submitting a fake receipt to gain $250 in flight credits?

They would only do that if there were a labor union sitting across the table from management. Support your union!

(edit: in the US, Europe has the GDPR)

I wonder if they make you present proof of non-vaccination? Can you get non-vaccination cards? Or maybe they expect a note from your primary care provider stating that you've never received a Covid shot?
