[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband would like to visit with his family in November in Virginia for his birthday weekend (4 hours away from us by car).  We haven't been there to see his family since the pandemic hit.  His parents are vaccinated but his brother, sister in-law and their 2 kids are not. The sister in-laws parents are also not vaccinated and I'm not sure if they would be at any gatherings. The brother and his family all got covid a year ago and are very against vaccinations (but may have some lingering immunity) .  My husband and I are vaccinated but my kids are 6 and 11 and are not yet.  How would you handle this?  I was trying to negotiate going at the end of November so that my kids would at least maybe have 1 shot of the vaccine if it's out by then.

Don't go. We are faced with locals [not vaccinated] at a Thanksgiving of a vaccinated local.  We are not going and nor are the people who are our connection to that event. Plus other events ... If a DMV wedding venue has unvaccinated at 6 feet distance from all others including staff [except their household members] that means something.  Friends have gotten breakthrough- can be like the worst flu ever.

[b]Some interesting stuff came out of NYC recently.
One theatre that allowed unvaccinated with proof of negative testing on ages 4-12 has had covid closures. Over 12 vaccinated while others with no under 12's and no unvaccinated have had zero covid closures. So those vaccines work.[/b]

I've never understood why exceptions are made to the "proof of vaccination required" for those under 12.  Is the goal (of requiring vaccination for entrance) to stop the spread of covid, or to "punish" the unvaccinated?  Because still allowing unvaccinated children will do nothing to stop the spread.[/quote]

It does help to have as few unvaccinated as possible (limited to those who can’t get it) rather than open the flood gates to all unvaccinated. [/quote]
