I work as a freelancer with a friend of mine doing A/V rentals and camera work for a lot of corporate events. The gig we have for this coming Monday just hit us with a vax requirement, and a requirement for a neg PCR test. I can get past the card thing, but it appears they want PCR tests possibly on the spot before being let in. I'm financially in a position where I can't really refuse work, and i'm also in a position where if I bail out last minute, it will create major problems for the guy I work for as i'm one of the only people avail who knows the job i need to do that day. Also, it will likely create problems down the road with future clients. The problem is, the guy I work for doesn't have a full understanding of why I have an issue with this and to him it isn't a big deal. He just sees it as "we all need to pay bills and is willing to do it if it means he can get paid. He's very politically disconnected from things as he mostly just focuses on his business. He doesn't believe when I tell him the vax is flawed, and that the PCR tests are fucking people up. Not because he's against anything i'm saying, but more because he just doesn't know, and it isn't important enough to him to look into it more. I am not really sure what to do. I can deal with wearing a mask from time to time for short periods to get through a gig. But asking me to insert shit into my body that I don't agree with is beyond where i'm willing to make a compromise. I also don't want to F the guy who's been giving me steady work and has become a good friend over the years. I'm in a tight spot. Thanks to the COVID pushers...
