Ask HN: How would you react to a applicant who does not believe in Covid Vaccine

Would a choice of 1) not believing in Covid disease/virus AND/OR 2)Covid vaccine (and thereby not getting vaccinated) factor into your company's selection process?

    Is it relevant to the job you're hiring for? If not, then is it any of your business?

    Would you ask an applicant about his HIV status? Other STDs? Other health history and vaccines? Where is the line?

    A candidate bringing that up seems weird?

    If it isn't a remote role then it absolutely should be a factor because it's a matter of safety.

    If it is then it's a little more grey, but personally I wouldn't associate them.

    Antivaxxers are people who get easily angry/duped from what they read on social media. It is a sign of inexperience.

    It would be a big NO for certain roles.
