  1. It’s a shame that as soon as something becomes political, the scientific understanding of that thing becomes obscured. Instead, it seems that many individuals only seek confirmation bias. They find research that supports what they WANT the truth to be. I’m not sure that any one person, agency, or group can definitively state the truth of COVID numbers as these statistics have been purposely obscured by both well intentioned and sinister-minded individuals from the start. I would assume that those making decisions for the CES are doing so prayerfully and with as much love and concern for the students as they can muster. I am also sure that they mistakes and err often, just like the rest of us.

  2. Perhaps I have missed something that @Just_A_Guy could better clarify. But requiring any discloser of someone's personal health records - I believe is in violation of HIPPA laws. The Traveler

  3. It also means that Peter, the Lord's senior apostle who was already commissioned by him and who had great authority in his Church and greater authority to come, was nevertheless not yet converted. I find this amazing.

  5. Again...I don't know how I can make it any clearer. Please read my above post. An employer or school requiring proof of vaccinations does not violate hipaa laws.

  6. Then a few paragraphs below I found the following: In other words HIPPA Rules do include disclosure of immunization records to schools. You appear to be correct - every school in the country has broken the law. I am somewhat surprised that no one has figured this out yet. Note that businesses cannot access personal records for employment and I think the airlines have a problem as well. HIPPA was initially passed to protect those that had the AID virus - which BTW was at the time listed as a pandemic. It looks like when the law was made that there was not a lot of foresight. The Traveler No they do not apply to schools. Schools have not been breaking any laws regarding requiring proof of vaccinations. According to the Hipaa laws: Vaccination information is classed as PHI and is covered by the HIPAA Rules. However, HIPAA only applies to HIPAA-covered entities – healthcare providers, health plans, and healthcare clearinghouses – and their business associates. If an employer asks an employee to provide proof that they have been vaccinated in order to allow that individual to work without wearing a facemask, that is not a HIPAA violation as HIPAA does not apply to most employers. Hipaa only applies to healthcare facilities not being allowed to release information. However businesses and schools can require proof of vaccines. As well as traveling to specific countries, military service, requiring tetanus shots for some professions and of course our missionaries are required to have certain immunizations and must provide proof. I worked for a health insurance company for 10 years. Knowledge of Hipaa laws was something we had to pass tests on as part of our employment to ensure we weren't breaking any laws.

    Favorite snacks?

    Horrible junk food. Cheez-it’s, Doritos, nachos loaded with cheese and jalapeños, popcorn loaded with butter. I work out so much in hopes that it’ll negate my horrible eating habits.

    Anchors Aweigh!

    Some of you will think I'm an idiot for not knowing this sooner. But... I was just reading a book about a famous sailor / captain with my daughter and came across an interesting discovery. The phrase is not "Anchors away!" (which I never really understood). It is "Anchors aweigh!" Very different meaning. Thought I'd share.

  9. At the time, given where the Church was growing, that was probably the case. Literal and adoption are two different things, but both are valid and the Lord has His purposes for organizing His children either way. PS according to the Book of Mormon, the Lord has great blessings in store for the Gentiles as well, so don't be perplexed!

  10. Romans, bud, I love you; but your perseverating on this indicates that you have completely missed the point of my post’s first paragraph. Let me try to rephrase my point. Descendancy is not exclusive. The fact that one is literally descended from a person who lived thousands of years ago through one line, does not mean that one is precluded from also being descended from that ancestor’s sibling through another line. In the House of Israel, tribal membership was primarily an indicator of subcultural identity, covenant obligations, and specific sets of inherited blessings. If Lehi had grown up considering himself (say) a Levite, then looking at an actual family tree that confirmed he also had Josephite ancestry would have been meaningful to him in light of Jacob’s deathbed blessing upon Joseph and his posterity.
