Perfect.
Let them send someone to talk to me about not taking the fake vaccine, I’ll be waiting.
users are sharing news of the 2022 update as evidence that governmental agencies will now be tracking unvaccinated individuals who go to the hospital or see a doctor as part of a “surveillance program,” with comments implying that users think they will be personally identified.
...
These codes are not used with purposes beyond monitoring and reporting diseases and mortality statistics or for insurance billing, and non-healthcare personnel would not have access to codes with specific patient identifiers, as that would be a (HIPAA) violation,
...
VERDICT
Missing context. ICD-10 codes are not new, and the COVID-underimmunized codes added in 2022 are not used to track individuals for reasons other than monitoring vaccination status to assess vaccine efficacy and analyze mortality data.

1. the question is why would they do this,
2. and what do they intend to do with this information.
3. The fact that they're doing it and have been found out, seems to have pissed them off.

I had an antibody test a couple of years ago and I had already had natural immunity. Haven't got the shot and not gonna get it. My doctors stopped asking after I had that test. Funny thing, I was in the hospital for a few days several months ago and there was no mention of getting any shots for that.
They can track me all they want. I already know where their headquarters is.

I am so disappointed!
I keep hoping someone will come to my door and offer me a vaccine. I'm giving up. It's not going to happen. I guess I'll have to go out for one. Maybe uber eats delivers?
