I see three possible responses to this:

1. Provide proof of vaccination.
2. State I am not vaccinated and provide a reason why.
3. Decline to disclose private healthy information, or to attend in-person events until perceived risk is mitigated.

They've stated vaccine is not a condition of employment if you have a strong religious or personal aversion to getting the shot. But for me the bottom line is I don't feel comfortable sharing private medical information with someone I don't really know, who is not my personal physician. More succinctly, it's none of their fucking business. And to elaborate on the second part of number 3, I am the only one I trust with my personal health. If a situation is really that dangerous, there's no reason for me to risk my health my by attending.

From what I've read, my work is taking a less hardline approach than some, but it's still a violation of my privacy and I will politely refuse to disclose the requested information. My wife is ok with this stance, we will not be cowed by tyranny in any of its forms.
