At least that wouldn't be a PCR test (which is bogus anyway) and wouldn't be ramming a swab up next to your brain. Maybe get a doctor's note saying you can't do the nasal test because of whatever reason... tonsil problems, sinus issues, whatever you can get. Make the employer do the blood test, even though that will seriously annoy them. I'm curious what others have to say, because I have a family member who may be facing this issue in the next couple of months too. [/quote] I would rather not have any test, I think the whole things a scam personally. Don't trust those quacks for a second. [/quote] Totally agree. But a blood test is less dangerous and more accurate than PCR, which makes it the lesser of two evils, I think. I could be wrong. Maybe you'd get lucky if you pushed the issue by demanding a blood test, and they'll give up and let you pass. [/quote] hehe... I like that, keep making crazy demands, might just work...:hf: [/quote] Another crazy demand: You know how you have to sign a form at the doctor's office aknowledging that you understand your HIPPA rights? I'm looking on the HHS website, and it looks like employers don't have to do that. (I was going to suggest that you demand a copy of their policy, which you know they don't have, but that's probably a dead end.) However, it does say this... "However, if your employer asks your health care provider directly for information about you, your provider cannot give your employer the information without your authorization unless other laws require them to do so." Could it be that even if you take the test, the testing people cannot give the info to your employer without your authorization? If so, ask your employer up front about an authorization form to release the information from the testing people. If they don't have one, they would have to figure out something. Again, they might get so frustrated and just give in, and let you pass. [/quote]
