I work as a contractor for a large nonprofit institution that sends out employment agreements for six months at a time. There has never been an outline of pay schedule, so although I've enjoyed worked with them for four years, I'm struggling to recommit when it's literally been two months since I was last paid, during which time I've completed multiple jobs for them. Working with their prestigious reputation is attractive but I'd appreciate any advice on how to make this more tenable.

I have a coworker who keeps spouting comparative odds and situations in regards to the safety of the vaccine. Such as: you're twice as likely to get hit by lightening than have blod clots from JJ. It's very annoying and I find it to be really inapprorpriate, maybe because it's pushy or just I find these comparative things to be a bit irrelevant. How does one handle something like that? Can you shut the person down without starting a spat?
