[quote=Anonymous]DH and I do share core values but are very different politically/ideologically (we like having interesting discussions - life would be very boring otherwise). But he doesn't research anything related to the pandemic, gets news from conservative sources, has conservative-leaning friends, and he does not trust the mainstream media (I don't disagree that they are seriously biased). So it took a lot of presenting information and agreeing with him on middle-of-road/moderate perspectives (like natural immunity is protective although for how long it is not known, that cloth face masks are not very effective, that a large proportion of children do not have severe illness) on my part to convince him to wear a higher-quality mask, get vaccinated, and that our young kids should get vaccinated when vaccines are available to them. He got vaccinated to appease my request that he not bring Covid home to his family. But the argument that one should do it to reduce overall transmission is lost on him - he still believes strongly that anyone but the elderly and immunocompromised need to be vaccinated.[/quote]
