I’m fortunate to be in a position where I pretty much call the shots. Lost my hourly wage job due to Covid, and I’ve had a few people contact me to see if I be willing to do work for them. If I do, I’ll be a contractor, so can do whatever I want. More or less. No vaccine.

First, tell them in writing that getting a vacination violates your religious beliefs and you refuse to do so. Second, if fired, put the company in a situation where they have to vocally denounce you or their actions to strenghten your lawsuit.

"A Christian Science perspective on vaccination and public health

On the other hand, our practice isn’t a dogmatic thing. Church members are free to make their own choices on all life-decisions, in obedience to the law, including whether or not to vaccinate their children. These aren’t decisions imposed by their church."

In fact, there are no mainstream religions in the US that forbid vaccination.

The upshot is that you are advising people to lie. How do you think an employer would view someone who does that?

That won't happen because you can't sue vaccine manufacturers. You have to go to a special vaccine court if you have an injury. The amount you receive is a set amount based on the injury.

If those who already had the virus are not immune then a vaccine would not make someone immune.

You won't ever see such things over a vaccine. They will always deny a vaccine caused the problem.

It's nice to be retired so the question is moot.

It depends.

If I worked for a school or in medical field, yes, I would get the vaccine.

If I worked in a business office, I would not consider it any of my employer's business what vaccines I had or didn't have
