Any input is greatly provided. I just feel like it’s a raw deal they’re making us unvaxxed test instead of just everyone. This is ostracism.

Catch up with them another time. Doesn’t have to be a big gathering. You can go for a walk outside with them when the weather allows it. Call them or drop a note in the mail anytime! Remember their birthday. Don’t argue, just be honest and live the best life you can. Their request to you is not ok, so don’t go along with it! Remember, your children are watching this. Teach them to be respectful and show them personal integrity.
Good advice.
I just wouldn't even bother with them personally but that's just me.
Same boat. Don’t go. As hard as it is don’t go. Mine are 91.
They do realize that almost all of this new “variant” is in the vaccinated? My family and I have not tested once, so that would be a hard no from me. Take me as I am. I’m healthy and shouldn’t have to prove that to anyone, especially my family.
I am so sorry that it has come to this for you.
Thank you.’yep im torn here.
I am blessed as almost all of my core family has not been vaxxed and has done the research, knowing full well what could happen. If that was not the case and family wanted me tested or vaxxed to come to a dinner my answer would be, not this year. To be honest I do not want to be around any vaccinated people. I do not know if shedding is a real thing, have heard many different reasons yay and nay, but its in my head. Hate to say it but I only want to be around pure bloods. Does that make me vacist? Is vacist a word? It is now.
My exact words would be "I think I'm gonna stick to my own gas chamber for the holidays, I hear it's really cold in Nazi Germany this time of year".
Hey dude, it isn't 'unvaxxed', you are 'Vaxx Free'. Being organic and natural is being free and preserving liberty.
Yeah I know. Just wasnt sure everyone was up on the jargon.
Do not submit. You will be blamed for omicron after Christmas. Better to stay away and let them wonder how they got it among a fully vaxxed group.
Or be the person that “killed grandma”
Say you did and just don't 🤷🏼♀️
Tuff one, on the one side they are afraid and it is not unreasonable from their fear based perspective to ask for a test. But from a normal rational perspective, how fucking dare anyone demand a medical procedure be done in order be welcome
They drew the line in the sand and it is perfectly reasonable to stay on your side of the line and walk away.
I would personally be angry and simply not attend. I know division isn't good but if you cant draw your own line in the sand on a small issue like this, how easily will you give in when your life, freedom and principles are on the line? And again how dare they demand this? Do you ask for a negative result on an AIDS test before anyone is allowed into your home?
Jesus didn't lie...don't live a lie by playing into the bullshit
Tell them if you are sick you won't go. Why would you take a test if you have no symptoms??
Should you take a test for aids or TB too??
Well, you can just not go?
Grab a pregnancy test. Pee on it, and show them it's negative. Just claim it's the new covid rapid test, its probably just as accurate anyways.
THIS.
Lol, test a cantaloupe
It will probably test positive.
your grandparents should be ashamed of themselves for fearing death or disease.
Tell them no thank you and don't go.
Tough call. It is your grandparents.
Elderly are more suspect to illness.
It is very insulting though.
I'd flip a coin.
Tell them you ARE vaccinated.
You've had dozens of vaccinations in your life. Just don't be specific about which ones. If anyone at their house has polio or small pox... you're covered.
Is this your opportunity to educate them on the fact that those who are vax’d can also have and transmit it? Why would they discriminate between vax’d and non? At a minimum, asking them this might get them thinking. I pray that God’s will for you is revealed with no uncertainty.
Well if it’s about making sure there are no covid positive people there I would tell them everyone should do it because the majority of people testing positive are vaxxed. Might be an eye opener if everyone takes a test and the vaxxed turn up positive and the unvaxxed don’t. Also you could share the PCR tests are being recalled for being crap. Personally I would say no, but I’m a mom of Six kids still at home and that’s all that matters to me. Could care less if someone disinvited me or didn’t want to come because I won’t test or vax
Nope. Tell them if you have to test, everyone has to test because the vaccinated can spread Covid too. If that’s a no -go, tell them you’re sorry they can’t think logically and you’ll see them another time.
$24 at walgreens 2 pack of home rapid tests. Its your Grandparents My 2 cents
Ty
Read @Kansan reply up on this thread. It by far is the best advice.
What is Christmas anyway? Find another day, another time to touch bases with them - after all, it is the time spent with them, not the day on which you see them. You must stand up for your beliefs to not lose your own self respect and to not be bullied. But, it is your grandparents and you do not know how much longer you may have them. Find other ways to deal with the situation that do not require either side to lose face and to feel safe. Where there is a will, there is a way. Good luck.
Family first my friend. Get tested and go love your grandparents. Their perspective isn't yours. This isn't the hill to die on.
Side note, have cousins not going over this rule. Don’t want to feel like I’m turning my back on them either.
In that case, thank Grandma and Grandpa for the invitation. Wish them a Merry Christmas. Be understanding but firm if they want an explanation. Then spend the day with your cousins.
