IMO, this isn’t a vaccine discussion. It’s (probably) not poison. This is a family discussion. And the anti-vax banter can be saved for the dungeon
With all due respect the vaccine discussion needs to be had, because people are not letting them selves see each other based on whether or not they have been vaccinated. All of these people need to understand that the vaccine does not prevent them from getting the virus or giving the virus. Therefore it is a moot point on whether or not they should see each other.IMO, this isn’t a vaccine discussion. It’s (probably) not poison. This is a family discussion.

No one under 16 is...and hiding those kids in a bubble is not helping the rest of their immune system building that they absolutely need....signed the parent of a 1 year old born in the middle of a plandemic who actually was exposed to the world...not hidden like Joe Biden in his fucking basement.My opinion on this is I'm vaccinated if you don't want it I really don't give a shit. I'm protected and if you're not oh well. Don't care. I stopped wearing a mask in the grocery store 2 weeks ago when I was fully vaccinated. This situation is a little different because there is a newborn that is not vaccinated.

Wife got the shot. Sure I can get a fake card to play it off but I wouldn’t do that to my kid.
I can be shady…ish to strangers but I wouldn’t be that shady to family.
I'm just trying to enjoy the time I have. The vaccine is the least of my worries.Nobody knows what this vaccine will do to the human body in 5... 10.... 15 years.
They live in New Hampshire. We live in Nor Cal. We haven’t been there in over a year now.Do you see them now?
Don't do this. There is no upside to lying about thus situation.Tell them you were vaccinated, it's a play on words. If you were vaccinated as a kid for smallpox and measles you were in fact vaccinated...
I haven't gotten any booster besides a tetanus shot and I have 4 kids. 1 of which was in the NICU as well. Nobody asked my vaccination records nor was my wife even required to have hers upped (she's medically.... complex so as many chemicals as possible are rejected for her).The fact you’re making this thread already tells me that you’re pretty vocal with them about how against it you are. I’m not here for that topic but I AM here to tell you to get your tdap up to date. Our daughter came early and had I not gotten it I wouldn’t have been able to be with her in the nicu.

Also as someone with a father who made his own decisions not to be a part of his grandchildren’s lives…. You’ll get left behind in the dust and the only one who suffers is you. Their lives will explode with happiness from everyone else around them and you’ll be pushed even further aside. You’ll never get those moments back.
My parents got the vaccine (Dad and his wife, mom and her husband)
They were refusing to visit me or allow me to visit them until my wife and I are vaccinated. So no grandma and grandpa time for my daughter.
They have been told, we have unaddressed medical questions and if you are vaccinated what is the risk to you? They did not have an answer, so I told them see you at your funeral. That woke them up and now my dad is visiting later this month and my mom is taking my daughter for a week in June.
You are well aware that getting the vax, will not prevent you from getting the virus, or transferring it.
As much as it sucks, sometimes we have to be the dad, and do what dad's should do.
Have a talk with him now and explain how it works to him. He might not agree right away, but it will give him time to think about it.
Even if the Son you raised right turned stupid?Not to point out the obvious, but the son is now a dad. I'd be telling my dad "how it works" if he came at me with some BS.
Here is how I handle ultimatums from family, "Fuck You". LOL.
Don't know the family involved but I'd respect my son's and his families wishes.
Get the vaccine vs not seeing your grandson? Not much of quandary. Just do it to not cause issues with your kid. Some of you are way out there. If there wasn’t politics involved around the vaccine there would be no issues at all and would be just like getting a normal flu shot. Just remember Trump is the one who pushed and sped up the availability of the vaccine. It’s too bad he doesn’t get any credit due to the timing of it coming out after Biden was already in office.
Part of being a good husband, dad, grandpa is sometimes you have to do things you don’t want to do. Get over it otherwise you will be the one missing out.
I heard this before. Not sure if its true or not.I can’t choose my parents, but my wife is the person I chose to spend my life with. I’ve always told my parents to never put me in a situation where I need to chose them or my wife. They won’t like it. I’ve already chose my wife. I asked her to marry me. It’s a tough situation. On that note it’s already happened in my family. Mom and older bros wife had an issue. We haven’t seen my older brother in 10 years. I get it...
Ive never heard that before. Good oneI heard this before. Not sure if its true or not.
A sons a son until he takes a wife. A daughter is a daughter all your life.

Remember that one time you were suppose to be staying home saving lives but decided to go on a little rendezvous to Tahoe with members outside your household that included children because you thought you were dying?Get the vaccine, see your grandchild...seems pretty simple?
Wife got the shot. Sure I can get a fake card to play it off but I wouldn’t do that to my kid.

Remember when we were free to make choices and people respected the choices other people made
Don't do this. There is no upside to lying about thus situation.
It’s the opposite for me. My daughter had a baby a year ago and is planning her wedding for later this month. She says if you have been vaccinated don’t bother showing up because she is afraid of shedding. At first I thought it was just her hippie paronoia until I did a little research and determined that she might be on to something.
what do you mean shedding?
You misunderstood me. I never told you to get the vaccine. I just said dont lie about it, especially to your family.If I decided not to get the vaccine that's my body my choice. If you got vaccinated I'll respect your decision and your choice.
Will the world come crashing down if I or others don't get vaccinated? Again I just went outside and looked up and the sky is still there.
Pestilences have been roaming the earth since the beginning of time.
Side Note: My grandfather died from the real deal Spanish flu back in 1918 along with millions more and life continues...
None of my questions about the Vaccine are political in any sense. And for alot of us, flu shots are not “normal” either.
I heard this before. Not sure if its true or not.
A sons a son until he takes a wife. A daughter is a daughter all your life.
That's what parents do Greg. Trust me, you're parents told you pleanty of lies. You don't get to know everything.
But a 97% chance you won’t. Nothing is 100%. Measles and polio are 94%.When are you guys going to understand that this so-called vaccine is not in fact a vaccine. It does not prevent you from getting the virus, it does not prevent you from carrying the virus and it does not prevent you from passing on the virus to others. So whether you have been vaccinated or not is completely irrelevant. You can still get the virus and you can still give the virus.

This is what bothers me. I’m not anti vax per se but I don’t like being told to do something because everyone else is.What it may come down to for some is not just a decision based on ideology, but one that has financial repercussions as well.
On a similar note me and my work site-20 or so guys everyday- have been mask free since this started and we’re all happy and content and virus free.So explain to me how a guy on our job site that had the vaccine, both shots, a month ago, now has covid?
Not a real good sign of a "vaccine" imo
