my SIL refuses to get vaccinated

OP isn't worried about her SIL getting COVID and being sick/dying. OP is worried that her SIL will get COVID and pass it on to her (OP's) kids. She doesn't care about her SIL.

Because I assumed all educated adults would choose to get the vaccine.

That was a flawed assumption to begin with

Choosing not to take a drug that is still being studied and didn't go through the normal level of clinical trials doesn't make someone stupid. It makes them more cautious. Just as you are cautious about catching covid she may be cautious about the long term side effects of the vaccine.
While I am vaccinated I can understand why a person would be hesitant.

Can you please explain why it's important to you that your SIL be vaccinated if none of the children will be?

I'm still waiting for this answer - what exactly is your concern, OP?

We get that you don't like your SIL but if you and DH are vaccinated, and your children are not and their children are not (and presumably some of those children if not all are going to school in person), then why is it such a big deal that she's not getting vaccinated?

hesitant, if not adamantly against the vaccine

Acting so stupid

That was a really stupid assumption. Especially as “anti-vaxxer” has been a thing for decades.

So you’re telling me you already knew they were no-mask/life-as-normal people, but you assumed she’d get vaccinated?

Looks like you being “educated” does not mean you have common sense. Hey, just like SIL!

I guess I stupidly thought my brother’s education would rub off on her and for the sake of her extended family, she’d get it.

Yes, you were stupid to assume that. Glad you can admit it.

You know Ted Cruz went to Harvard, right? Educated does not equal smart, caring for humanity, good citizen, etc.

How very odd that you are so “educated” but are just now leading that you do not have the right to control the bodies or decisions of other adults. I’m glad I could help you become more aware of the world.

Aww, you tried and failed to sound superior. All of you with your predictable "HURRR DURR U CAN'T MAKE ADULTS TAKE A VACCINE" responses are so absurd. I absolutely guaran-damn-tee that OP already knows she cannot physically restrain her idiot SIL and force a shot into her arm, which is why she NEVER said that.

What she can control is how her family does or does not spend time, and how, with her idiot anti-science, low-information SIL during a pandemic, which is the actual question she was asking. But if you answered that one, you wouldn't get to pretend to smack her down for saying something she never said.

So who cares. Let your kids play. If you're SIL gets it so be it. You can still get it even if vaccinated, although it should be less severe.

If she wants to take the risk that is her choice.

Kids can get it from anywhere. I wouldn't worry about getting it from SIL. if the kids have friends any number of their friends family members may not be vaccinated. It will still be out there, people will still get it and if you are vaccinated it should protect you from the severe symptoms.

Are you really that dense to not know that

A. Vaccines are not 100% effective
B. Her children cannot yet get the vaccine, so more protected adults help stop the spread.

Outdoor masked visits until kids are vaccinated. Don’t compromise.

Maybe she is not getting the vaccine so she does not have to spend time with you or your family. Would be an excellent excuse ...no that she needs one.

OP’s fear for her kids is irrational. Kids aren’t at significant risk from covid. She doesn’t really have a legitimate complaint here.

Another thread ruined by the DCUM bullies. It's a shame this site has been overrun by a bunch of assholes who assume the worst of every OP, make up their own "facts," and contribute nothing helpful.
