I told DH I think we should skip the new year parties. These will be 100% unmasked. I was looking forward to socializing but it just seems like a bad idea.

I also just reserved an indoor party space for my unvaccinated preschooler’s birthday. Not sure if we should go ahead or cancel.

Congrats for spreading anti-vaxxer talking points, OP!

Op here. I am not an anti vaxxer. DH and I both have gotten boosters and 2 of my 3 children are fully vaccinated. My youngest is 4 and too young to be vaccinated. We are good maskers.

All these places with 80% vaccination rates are still surging with covid cases.

I’m the one who wants to go to parties and throw parties. I’m not spreading any misinformation.

I’m wondering if other people are just saying f it and going on with life.

I was looking forward to life back to normal. For a few months, it felt normal. Now cases are higher than ever.

Dp. Saying “the vaccines can’t protect you” is anti-vaccine. Even if prevention against developing covid 19 diminishes, that does not mean that vaccines are suddenly doing nothing. They absolutely *can* and *do* protect you.

You may not be anti-vax, but what you wrote is 100% an untrue, anti-vax talking point.

People are saying f it and going ok with life. They are also getting covid. From the people
I know who currently have it, which is a lot, some say it’s nothing and some are pretty sick. If you are ok with being one of the pretty sick ones them by all
Means mingle indoors with like minded people.

Not buying it. I know a bunch with breakthroughs and it supports exactly what scientists are telling us. It’s mild, when vaccinated.

We just held a birthday party for 10yo the week before Christmas. Three families rsvp (2 kids each), total of 7 kids and 12 adults with relatives attending.

Fast forward a week. 5/7 kids and 6/12 attending adults plus a grandmother (not birthday child) who didn’t attend are all positive. Symptoms popped 23-26th, all but one adult had already had covid, over half were masked, over 75% were vaccinated, etc.

If I could do it again? We would have had a bounce house on the soccer field behind the house!

Just backed out today of an RSVP for a 12/29 indoor masked party. I feel terrible about it but gut tells me it’s the right thing to do.

You may not be anti-vax, but what you wrote is 100% an untrue, anti-vax talking point.

Efficacy of mRNAs wears off after 6 months. Only 20% of America boosted.

Israel is already testing the fourth shot, a second booster in effect. You can be pro vax and pro science and acknowledge these facts.

Funny thing about tissue damage. You won’t always notice it while it’s happening, but you could have problems later. Covid is really excellent at doing things besides loud symptoms. It’s a virus. Try not to run towards it.

Op here. We are not going to attend the new year parties and cancelled the ski trip. Ski trip was scheduling problem also so easy to make that decision.

Have not RSVPd no for January birthday parties and we did not send out birthday invitation for our daughter’s party. Not sure if we should cancel or still have DD’s party. It would be a private party with just her preschool class.

Im going to a few indoor parties in January that haven’t canceled so I think it’s everyone’s individual comfort level at this point. You’ll definitely have some people looking to party in January with ya. Have fun.

Would not go to parties. Why take a chance? I don't get why someone would be willing, if we play our cards right in a few months, hopefully Covid will be on the way out.

Absolutely not on the parties. Please cancel your child’s indoor party.

Sooo, you won’t attend but cancel the party because you don’t feel comfortable yet? Lots do feel comfortable with it.

Hell no. My kid went to school one day in the last week of school and got COVID.

So you’re basing your scientific evidence on four weeks of data? Cool.

Good. It means he’s more protected now. You got it over with. Congrats.
