We are expecting our 1st grandchild in October. I was just informed by my husband that our daughter called him in tears 6 weeks ago because her doctor is insisting that all members of the family that will be around the child must get a flu shot. Our daughter unfortunately is a liberal and will follow that rule but she also knows how I feel about vaccines. My husband has known about this for 6 weeks but has been afraid to mention it to me because he knew I was not going to like it. This has put me in a horrible position. My husband even said that if I wanted to lie to her and tell her I got the shot, he would go along with it. I told him absolutely not! I am not going to lie. I promised my husband that I would do it but not without doing some investigation first. I don’t even know how to start investigation on this. Do any of you know if there is a way to figure out if there are different flu shots out there and how to know which pharma company is behind them? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Tough position, because the thing you desire, a safe vaccine, does not exist.
I can only speak my position, but I stand my ground on this issue. I have no way of knowing what the future brings. Every single person in my daughter-in-laws extended family is vaxxed to the limit. If people are dying rapidly, then slowly through attrition, who's going to be around at the end of it all?
The un-vaxxed.
The un-vaxxed will raise the orphaned children of the maxx-vaxxed at some point in the future.
Nothing rosy about any of it.
