1. I'm envisioning a scenario where telling the truth about something that's none of their business will mean you don't get the job anyway -- so what difference does it make?

I don't think that the question is appropriate for an interview and will likely not be asked. But if it is then answering "Not yet" is a good, generic answer and can't be taken to mean "Not under any circumstances.

2. How would they find out that you lied?

If they hire you and ask for proof of vaccination. More companies, not a majority but more, are requiring vaccination for new employees.

3. As I also said in that post, I honestly don't think most companies even want to know about these vaccines.

Most? I agree that most probably won't require it. But lie and accept a job with one that does and I guarantee your time there will be short.

This whole discussion is silly because the requirements, for most jobs, are not only pointless but also unenforceable. Heck -- even the CDC and National Institutes of Health

Just read that and understand how stupid that approach is. "If you're 60 years old and you've been working here for 30 years you don't have to be vaccinated, but if you are 20 years old and starting next week you do." So the person who is the higher risk for COVID doesn't have to be vaccinated, but the one who is the lower risk does? LOL.

I am an honest person by nature -- even more so in my professional work. And yet I would feel no moral or legal obligation to be truthful in a setting like that.
