I’ll add that I have a hunch your COVID denying family members are alive and well. That probably angers you too.

OP here, this is a disgusting comment. I would never wish ill on anyone and am not angry that they're alive and well.

I didn’t mean as though you would wish them ill will. But I do think it’s hard for many very into covid people to admit that they didn’t experience a different outcome than most people who ran around unvaxed without masks.

I think it’s hard for many *not* into covid people to remember that a whole lot of folks died or got long term symptoms.

Tons of people died, yes. But they were mostly elderly. The real risk to OP was her child’s illness. Not covid. The long term symptoms thing is always thrown out there by covidians, but most of us can just use common sense and ascertain that although almost everyone we know had covid, not a single person is still sick.

I truly do think there are a lot of people out there like OP who were fooled and spent years doing silly things like going around in cloth masks. It’s probably hard to accept that the covid denying relatives were correct.

Fooled? When you are responsible for taking care of other people, you do as much as you can to protect yourself an others with the information available. Shift as information shifts and hospitals empty. The family issue extends beyond COVID

Op here -

This is exactly what we were doing. We consulted with our pediatricians and the hospital doctors and determined at the time outside masked was completely fine.

I can tell you that everyone talking hind sight now, has forgotten the real danger that was thought to immunocompromised people such as babies and pregnant people and elderly at the time. I was pregnant starting March 2020 and it was very scary. I was also pregnant during Zika years ago. Doctors had no idea how COVID would impact mothers and infants both in utero and newborn.

My extreme issues come from how little they cared about my legitimate fear and feelings. Even if they disagreed. Why would someone try to hurt me?

This is not the only issue in my family and so yes there are other issues in play but this was the final straw. I don’t know why they would intentionally try to hurt me and my family at a time that was just more sensitive than usual.

Lmao you’re crazy. Get help. No, most people were never as scared of covid as you.

But you were talking about masking outside in spring of *2021,* long after we knew that was silly and after we better understood the risks of covid.

This. The incident in your OP was about spring 2021. Not spring 2020 when you were pregnant. You sound hysterical about covid and that’s why you’re now reverting back to spring 2020. You need psychological help.

or one of the "ripped from the headlines" fake posts because OP is bored and there aren't enough posts about masks.

And yet, you are fine and nothing happened to you or any of your family. Your fears were not totally legitimate. You need to accept that, apologize to your family, and figure out why you went off the deep end.

Your revisionist history is poorly executed. It was not well know at this time. Spring 2021 vaccines were still not readily available. But thanks for showing how crazy YOU are.

You’re dense. Maybe most people in your echo chamber weren’t. The difference is I can appreciate that other people have different levels of concern while having my own while you can’t respect other people enough to see that. And no, it was not well-known at that time that COVID is not dangerous.

Vaccines were not easy to get until the summer and kids weren’t even available

I can call you nuts too, just as easily. And I can also accuse you of being a COVID denier which is what you sound like.

Nope. Not OP, but as a 54 year old with preexisting health issues, I had to drive 2 hours to Hagerstown to get an appointment for both shots in the spring of 2021. And they weren't yet available to non adults yet.

So, OP went to someone else's house and tried to force them to wear masks....I wouldn't have argued with you, OP. I would have just told you to leave, because my house, my rules. Stay home if you're so afraid, and stop trying to control other people's medical decisions. You have no right. No one does.

You’re right. She shouldn’t have gone anywhere near them and shouldn’t go near them now. No need to teach kids that antivaxxers have a valid point.
