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.

I would invite her to sit down and listen/watch the Joe Rogan/RFK Jr podcast (this is the most succinct dissemination of "vaccines are bad" information that I have seen out there) with you.
You can say that you won't be getting the shot until she's heard the other side and sign a waiver that if you suffer any harm from the vaccine, she is liable for any care that you need. She needs to consider your health as well. Might also be helpful to find cases of fu shot harm so she can see the possibilities.
