Fox News is recruiting health workers to do COVID tests for employees who refuse vaccinations: report

According to a recruiting email obtained by the conservative Bulwark, Fox News is seeking health workers to give COVID-19 tests to employees who balk at being vaccinated.

What is telling about the hiring drive is that the company is suggesting the those who find employment with them are looking at "indefinite/long-term assignment" that could lead to over a year of employment.

While the network has been under fire for questioning COVID-19 health protocols -- led by top prime time hosts Laura Ingraham and Tucker Carlson -- Fox has been insisting employees get the readily available vaccines but, apparently without complete success.

As the Bulwark reports, the email explains that "... the swabbers would start next week, on October 13. The job is 'projected to be an indefinite/long-term assignment with recent policies that have been put in place regarding employee vaccinations/COVID testing. Likely 12+ months.'"

According to the Bulwark's Jim Swift, "Registered nurses can expect to earn $50 an hour, while EMTs would make $30, working afternoon/evening shifts, and/or morning shifts on weekends. A nurse hired for this job could theoretically make over $110,000 before taxes if he or she worked every afternoon/evening weekday shift for a full year."

The report goes on to explain that new hires will be expected, to "Perform rapid antigen COVID swab testing on approx. 40-60 unvaccinated Fox employees per shift."

In September the Associated Press reported that Kevin Lord, executive vice president of human resources at Fox News parent Fox Corp., issued an edict requiring all unvaccinated employees to be tested every day -- instead of once a week -- in order to come to work.

At that time, host Carlson told his viewers, "You can't allow people to force you to take drugs that you don't want or that you don't need, It's up to you what drugs you take, period. If you allow people to force you to take drugs you don't want, you're done. They own you. You're no longer free, period."
