How would you respond?
⚠️ Vax-tarded ☠️
Thanksgiving Day - This morning my sister sends out a text stating she's uncomfortable with anyone not up to date on their COVID Shots wearing a mask around her baby.
How would you respond?
Ignore the text and go about enjoying this great day….she’ll just have to be “uncomfortable” for a little while.

Probably just going to sit this one out and not respond. Sometimes nothing is an acceptable response.
Yep, that's what I would do. Not respond at all and don't show up. Turn off phone in case somebody there tries to contact you during. Let them all feel like assholes for excluding you.
Still show up.
Maybe ask if the baby is unvaxxed and wheter or not she's uncomfortable around him/her
Hahaha! "They haven't allowed babies to receive the shot yet REEEEEEEE!!!"
For the sake of the baby, don't. You don't want to put ideas in the mother's head. The last thing this baby needs is a jab.
Maybe she shouldn't risk it then, for her baby's safety. lol
Lol just casually spill out during dinner “yeah and I don’t know about all these new moms just playing Russian roulette with their new children, bringing them to FAMILY GATHERINGS during a PAN DEM IC. Oh sorry sis I didn’t mean YOU, oops.”
Exactly
I wanted to say “That’s fine, I hate babies”

Her baby that she will prolly soon kill with a vax? Avoid all these people.
Yeah Im avoiding my family Thanksgiving because all the adults in my extended family are trying to murder their kids.
I think I'm the only hold out in my family and extended family. I'm trying to prepare myself but I don't think you can brace for death.
Wife gave birth not too long ago. She was very protective of the baby at first, for first few weeks. She made everyone who held the baby wear masks regardless of status. She is very much up on the stuff we talk about here, and shares many opinions.
I'd chalk it up to a momma bear being protective, and respect her wishes. After another week or two the fierce protectiveness will fade I'd bet...
Sorry to hear you had to go thru that. Hopefully you will find someone who matches you perfectly.
My wife would not be my wife if she was a sociopath. I am lucky to have her. She is a good mom.
I have a DIL I would put in that category unfortunately. I can't see the kids unless I go to their house, no thanks, I'd like to form a relationship with them on my own but that won't happen. Oh well, we're only here a short time anyway.
For the first 5 weeks or so with our children (pre covid), we became practical hermits. We allowed the grandparents to come see, but didn't go out of our way to invite them. No one needs to see the baby.
agreed. I have a seven week old and you can't imagine the hormones. I'd just try to keep the peace around this new mother and be kind and understanding around irrational requests.
I went to a wedding reception a few weeks ago and they sent an email the day before asking that anyone unvaxxed wear a mask. Several family members know we aren’t vaxxed so we just showed up without masks and no one said anything. Sometimes you have to just go and ignore things.
TURN. OFF. YOUR. TV. YOU. ARE. BECOMING. IRRATIONALLY. FEARFUL. AND. HYSTERICAL. FULLSTOP.
so she is not comfortable with masked unvaccinated people around her baby?
She's fine if I wear a mask. Just going to be more mindful of people holding her baby without flu/covid/clap shots this year
Had my first kid before all this nonsense started, and back then we were still careful not to have too many people touching her and not at all of they were sick.
I’d just wear a mask near the baby or stay away from the baby to make her comfortable. It’s not too extreme or violating of her to ask that. Not like some families excluding the non clotshotted
Your sister is a retard. Happy Thanksgiving....
Thats tough i had to subtlety tell my sister this isn't about public health as well. I would point out children have zero risk from covid.
This hasn't even been in dispute since this damn thing started.. very early on everyone noticed that children are essentially immune.
Until the pharma vermin started sniffing around for what more cash they could extort, then suddenly as if by magic there are psyops in the media, green-lit vax approvals for teenagers and you know it will be for toddler age kids next. And everyone plays pretend that the zero risk observations never happened.
When this goes hot, no prisoners.
I think you would have to honor the wishes of the property owner for the event(s). If she is not comfortable with her baby being around unvaxxed then she needs to keep her baby on her own property where she has control of who is present.
Just say you’re not comfortable with wearing a mask (who is?) and decline the invitation.
Don’t have to be mean about it. Take the high road and act mature. Agree to disagree. Chances are she’ll get pissed and act like a child.
Lick the baby.
I can already see the glow from the resulting tactical nuke from here. Kek!
“Ah, well, I am sure a quiet day at home will be enjoyable. Let me know if you will be driving over to pick up a plate. Should we leave your name out of the Christmas present name draw?”
Ignore the text. Proceed as you had planned in every way. Do not coddle her idiocy, that will just reinforce it. She is free to make any accommodations she wishes.
Ask her to define "around".

You better enjoy your Niece or Nephew while you can, cuz she's probably going to have her baby Vaxxed!
It's mama bear protective fear. It's the time of year where just the normal seasonal yucks send new moms into warpaint territory. I was one too. But instead of imposing on others, I think she should keep her little one home and somebody bring HER the plate. It's not just covid to be fearful of...someone could have just about anything this time of year. Propose that solution to her. If she declines, keep your distance or wear the mask to quickly say hi to the baby.
Honestly this is the answer. If she is the one with the concern or fear, she should stay home. I’m doing the exact thing, not for those reasons, but because I’m pregnant with bad morning sickness and can’t handle the stress of lots of people and overabundance of food and all of that. She should absolutely keep the baby home if she is that worried, not make everyone else accommodate her.
I think "fuck off you idiot" would fit.
I don’t know why we have to tell Anyone what our status is. I’ve just started taking the route of not saying anything about my status. I have a big dyson purifier I will use to keep the house fresh. And ignore any questions.
Photoshop a bunch of hypodermic needles sticking out of your family’s arms and send it to her.
“I’m uncomfortable with anyone up to date on their COVID shots. The data shows they are a much higher danger for superspreading”
I'm sure getting a masked babysitter will be easy on Thanksgiving. Tell her no big deal, you'll see the baby when it's older if she doesn't kill it with the shot first.
Actually a good topic and mental drill. Comments are good as human interactions are complex. The gracious approach with love and kindness will win in the end. We know the truth but right now a majority believe their falsehood is the truth. It takes time to convince people but just like yelling at us doesn’t work, boycotting them when they may be in majority doesn’t work. I am in a similar minority position in my social circle. It’s work to rebuild with slowly winning the borderline vaxx believers. One they feel “safe” it’s inevitable discussion about the pandemic happens and I’ve gotten better at deprogramming those who are starting to question the narrative.
Since you can’t choose family you sometimes have to be more patient but every small encounter you make it through provides opportunities in the future. Sometimes quiet grace and humility breaks the spell of fear.
How do you do Thanksgiving with a mask on your pie hole?
I had my first kids back in the day where the next Sunday after I got out of the hospital, that baby got passed around and loved on at church. Kept their terrain boosted with mother's milk. No problems.
Ignore it and see how everything plays out.
I would tell her that there is a much more dangerous RSV that is actually killing children. And that I wouldn't trust any masks to protect a baby.
Ask if she'd like some links and suggest that she protect her baby by staying home.
Unless SHE is the one hosting the Thanksgiving dinner then she is the one that should be uncomfortable - not you. Go to your parents house and enjoy the holiday!
That statistically her baby is more likely to be stuck by lightening than to catch CV.
And possibly sit this one out in the vain hope your sis stops with all this nonsense.
I've been EXTREMELY anti-mask since March 2020 and am obviously unvaxxed. My opinion is that this seems like a simple request and not worth the fight. You don't have to be around the baby. Or, if you are, it will really make your sister feel better to just don a mask for that time. I'd just go along with it to keep the peace. Now, if she wants you masked 100% of the time you are there then my reaction would be different.
This is retarded. Are we going to let our families submit us to tyranny on our behalf now? Fuck off with that.
Ask her if she's comfortable masking the baby.
