Dude, my father-in-law told me at the Thanksgiving dinner table that if I didn't go get a booster he wouldn't be comfortable with me being at his house at XMas.

He's getting the booster, because he's over 70 and undergoing radiation treatment for cancer. He's winning, thankfully... but he's losing when it comes to how vaccines WORK.

He's also a doctor.

Also, a right-wing Nazi Democrat who reads the NYT as gospel.

Also, he won't see me for XMas dinner. I'll be home with my dog.

Can't imagine how many people wish their in-laws would ban them from Xmas duties. Consider yourself blessed.

I have a friend of twenty years who is otherwise a nice, decent person but she's become a complete vaxxhole. I'm unvaccinated for medical reasons and she's aware of this. But she regularly invites me to get together and when I accept she then backs out saying I'm "too dangerous" even though I request we meet masked at an outdoor location. This woman is an author who flies around the country giving talks and hence is around probably thousands of unvaccinated people indoors yet she thinks I'm "dangerous." It's all about feeling moral superiority for her. She's double vaxxed with a booster chaser yet she pretends though I'm unsymptomatic that I'm going to make her sick.
