Even as a vaccinated person, I'd take it as a clear and very strong indication that she doesn't want visitors. |

I'd ask them to wear a mask and wash hands instead. And don't come at all if ill.
The covid shot doesn't prevent illness, and my doctor recommended I not get it (for reasons specific to my health). |
| your baby, your job to protect them. it's fine to request them. most of antivax folks may not come and that's okay too. |
| I would assume 99% of anyone halfway normal will not visit, shot or not. I’d send you a card in the mail with the name of a local psychiatrist. |
😂 I agree, though. |
| The Covid shot doesn’t stop you getting it and doesn’t stop you passing it on. It’s honestly criminal that they keep preying on vulnerable people with this nonsense. |

I’m not anti-vax and I’m up to date on my shots, but my doctor told me, and it’s backed up by studies, that if you have had the full course of Covid shots and a booster there are no additional protections provided by additional shots. I have had four shots and mild Covid twice, and the shots make me very ill. The vaccine has done what it needs to do for my health. It doesn’t really do all that much for anyone else’s health. I will not be having any more until reputable studies show that it has an effect.
You are not comfortable with people around your baby, and that’s perfectly fine. You can’t vaccinate your way out of any bad thing ever happening. |
| Require visitors to wear N95 or earloop D95masks. If they balk, that weeds out some. N95s are relatively cheap and not uncomfortable. D95s are equally effective ime. I wear those, DH wears the other and neither has had covid. https://shop.demetech.us/collections/all |
| Just don’t say “ no one came!!” later |
"Not comfortable." LOL. We've been there, pp, and now we know better. Of course they're uncomfortable. They're hot and wet. They're tight on your head and ears. And they'll probably still fog up your glasses. |
Here's the AAP guidance: there's a decent chance, greater with younger infants https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/148/2/e2021052228/179783/Evaluation-and-Management-of-Well-Appearing |
If they fog glasses indoors you have a bad git at the top. The ones I linked have metal to fit to nose and foam to make it comfortable. Hot and wet indoors in winter? You just panic probably due to claustrophobia. Well you do you. |

I would require the most recent Covid shot, unless they've been vaccinated in the past 6 months.
And I would require the rest, too. This is really a no brainer, OP. People who don't understand science and medicine need to get with the program, or they just opt out of visits. That's fine too. You can see them later, no hard feelings! |
You must not have glasses. There's a reason surgeons with glasses use tape. And the temperature and moisture in masks comes from the air you breathe out, which has a pretty similar temperature and humidity level regardless of whether it is winter or summer. Of course you know that, but I'm sure you never miss a chance to spread mask misinformation. |
