[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At this point since your whole family is vaccinated, this isn't a medical or public health issue for your family, it's a political one.  Do you want to cut ties with your brother because he has a different stance then you?  How much does your relationship mean to you? [/quote]

This is the real question. I don't think your family is at high risk now that you are all vaccinated. At a certain point, we all need to move forward with our lives knowing that there will likely always be a risk that may get COVID but at least you have done all you can to protect yourself from getting severely ill. I have a cousin who is anti-vaxx/pro-Trump and is refusing to allow even her adult children to get vaccinated (unless they want to move out). She wanted her younger kids to be homeschooled because she was that anti-mask and they begged her to let them go to school. Her mom (my aunt) has pretty severe health issues--no way she would have survived COVID. She is vaxxed but even before then, my cousin had no intention of getting vaccinated and was not social distancing from her at all. Yes, my aunt should have stayed away but when you aren't healthy and she is the mother to the only grandkids, she didn't want to stop seeing them for a year or more. For my cousin, it was more about free childcare and dumping her kids with my aunt for the weekend to go party.

I hate my cousin for putting my aunt in that position. At this point, even if she did get the vaccine, I don't know if want to be around her.[/quote]
