Sure. Just ignore the 500,000+ dead Americans (and others like my FIL who survived but have permanent lung and kidney damage).

I'd skip this. It sounds like the kind of event where even if you try to put up boundaries and ask people if they're vaccinated, they might ignore you. An outdoor visit with grandparents and one or two couples, sure. A large gathering and it can get a little more chaotic.

Data makes it totally clear that COVID is not a fatal threat to kids- even babies. As long as there is no other complicating health factors, and all adults are vaccinated, I think its time to get out and live life again.
Thank-you for your sample of 1 data. I do not think i would be inappropriate to add "Please bring a mask for times when you are within a few feet of my brand new grand-daughter!"

Nope. The baby is 4. Doesn't care about people. If this is to appease grad parents, find something else.

If someone starts stepping towards you, put your hand up and say "please stay back." You have to be willing to do that.
I don’t think grandparents would be willing to do that sadly. I would but it would probably annoy them and maybe it’s better not to go to avoid the whole situation

Im not sure of the vaccination status of the friends. They are older so 90% yes but there may be the odd straggler or two that hasn’t been vaccinated yet. Also slightly worried about casual distant acquaintances coming up and getting close.

4 month old hasn’t met anyone other than us and grandparents. Grandparents want to “show her off” to some of their friends in a park during an outdoor event. Problem is, their friends won’t be wearing masks as it’s an outdoor event with eating. Is this too risky?
