If you don't want to provide that information, then don't get on the plane.
What he said.

If fraud were to become rampant, then they might require database verification, but then there will be an app for that.

A criminal hacking your HIPAA compliant database does not constitute a violation on your part. We already have trillions of health records in databases, how is one more vaccine any different? I can open another browser tab, login, and pull up my entire health record right now.

And if the fed needed to amend HIPAA for some reason they can do that... it's just a law, not an inalienable God given right.
