Tonight, over wine and soft music, my husband and love of my life told me he is torn between my vehement desire for us to remain unvaxxed and our daughter's desire for us to get the jab. Our daughter is a pharmacist and insists the vax is the right thing to do. I am a mom and wife and I insist that we should not go down that road. Hubby is caught in the middle. I can only hope he sides with his one true love, but he is wavering. I can feel it. I am heart sick that she took the shot but I believe in free will. Scary times for sure. Pray.

My son and his fiance are planning to get vaxxed. She will apparently "need" it for work. I feel sick about it. My son and I are close and communicate so well on most things-- but here we hit a wall. I know he'll just get frustrated with me if I keep pressing him. But it really makes me ill to think of him getting this experimental jab with so many bad reactions reported. He doesn't believe there's any danger. At one point, he said "Look, I know your politics are different than ours..." The young people influence each other, more than a parent's arguments matter.
Tell him that your not supporting his decision to get vaxxed has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with the fact that you love him and are worried about complications that may come from the vax for a virus he has a 99.97% chance of recovering from if he does get it.
Yes, this is my approach. His “problem” is that our daughter is expecting. Due in September. Only vaxed persons are allowed in the hospital for visitation. As he was in Somalia when our daughter was born, he feels a need to be present for the birth of our granddaughter. We are at a crossroads.
This has NOTHING to do with politics. It is SCIENCE!
You don't have to tell me that. My son just said it to kind of end the discussion I think. Like "never the twain shall meet."
