[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband refuses to let our son (3) see my unvaccinated sister, BIL and nieces. He describes my sister and BIL as selfish and dislikes them because they refused to get vaccinated for personal choice during the pandemic.

My husband takes methotrexate for rheumatoid arthritis and has been doing so for the past 10+ years. As a result he’s at higher risk of developing an infection and our son is too young to be vaccinated. My husband works from home and we outsource most things - groceries, etc.

But he refuses to see my family or let them see our son during family events. Our son will not maintain a mask and my sister refuses to wear one as well.[b] My husband is perfectly fine with me going alone[/b] but has made it clear he will not be attending any family events with our son for an indefinite period of time.

I support him but WTF am I supposed to tell my sister?! Let me also add that my husband will take our son to the park to play around other kids and has taken him on an airplane once during the pandemic as well. [/quote]

WTF your husband is insane and being a jerk. This is about control no Covid.

For starters them being or not being vaccinated does not change that they can catch and spread covid. Even if they were vaccinated they could still spread it to you and your son.

Second if you go visit them you could catch covid too and bring it home.  My entire family is vaccinated and after my vaccinated son caught it we got it one after another. That fact that his is fine with you going proves my first point that this is all about either not wanting to spend time with them be being a controlling jerk.  [/quote]
He has an autoimmune disease you idiot.[/quote]

No, idiot, their vaccination status does not matter. The vaccine does not prevent catching or spreading the virus. Even if they were vaccinated they could still catch and spread covid to his wife. As stated above my entire vaccinate and boosted family caught it and spread it to one person after another.

If he has an autoimmune disease, is high risk and has a zero risk tolerance policy then he should not be ok with his wife seeing them either, but he is fine with her going.  He is a selfish controlling jerk. I would also argue that he needs therapy if he is still this terrified of covid 2 yrs out. [/quote]

DP.  If OP is fully vaccinated and properly masked, it does meaningfully decrease the risk of her seeing her unvaxed family.  You choose to see it as controlling, but to me it seems like him trying to compromise on the issue without abandoning all consideration of safety.  My guess is he would prefer OP not see her sister’s family at all, but he’s not taking that hard a line here.[/quote]

the mask will help, the vaccination status does not.

Case numbers are low, time for this fool to let his family live their lives.

Maybe have her sister test beforehand as a compromise. [/quote]

LOL, you think a family that refuses to get vaccinated will agree to all get covid tested before OP and her kid come to visit?[/quote]

and you think vaccination status will protect anyone? Using this against anyone is a mechanism of control.

We have all learned by now that  this vaccines does not prevent transmission.
