It all started with a staged intervention last weekend at a cookout we were having at the house for family members. The wife, daughter and a group of in-laws cornered me and told me I was being selfish - I was jeopardizing their safety. The nagging and "attitude" had been going on for months prior. I once again explained my position but no amount of evidence or logic offered up was going to change any minds. My entire immediate and extended family has bought the narrative and drank the Kool-Aid utterly and completely. There's no convincing anyone otherwise. Today, the wife informs me that she wants me to move out of the house that I worked my ass off for decades to provide because I don't care enough about her to take the vax. It's a sad day but I'm not wavering. I'm packing my shit and seeking alternate living arrangements. I did inform every one of them not to call me when their health starts to go south in the near future....which was met with rolled eyes and an ambivalent shrug. They all think I've gone bananas.

How can you be married for 31 years and she can't extend to you some semblance of trying to understand your position and where you're coming from? Kind of selfish right? Just like she's accusing you.... Projection.
If she is unwilling to give you the benefit of the doubt and continues to ascribe your motives without listening to you, I would almost venture she's been wanting you to move out anyways and this is a convenient excuse.
I agree with the others. Don't move out, tell her even though you're concerned about her vaxx shedding that you love her and are willing to stay despite her lack of consideration.
