Or someone who thinks Covid doesn't exist?

I guess I could. If DH didn't have his jabs I wouldn't leave him over it

yes

Yes to a relationship with an anti vaxxer. It’s their body after all and their choice

I’d be wary of someone denying the existence of covid as I feel that’s more of a red flag.

Amz6219 · 09/08/2021 17:07

No

UnsolicitedDickPic · 09/08/2021 17:07

No, never. We'd be so diametrically opposed on the issue that I wouldn't find them attractive.

OaxacaChihuahua · 09/08/2021 17:07

No. I highly value intelligence in a partner.

UnsuitableHat · 09/08/2021 17:07

Possibly yes anti-vaxxer; definitely not Covid denier

Redcrayons · 09/08/2021 17:07

No

This.

But if my dh started thinking covid was fake I’d be extremely concerned about him. It would then be 50/50 how things went after that.

Bodily autonomy is separate to having a grasp on reality

millymollymoomoo · 09/08/2021 17:08

Well, there’s a huge difference between being anti vaccine, covid deniers, and those who acknowledge it’s existence and that it can be dangerous to some but still question whether they want a vaccine themselves. So yes I could

It annoys me that anyone who Dares question need fur vaccine or lockdown etc is simply branded as a conspiracy theorist. That’s simply not correct

SwimmyG · 09/08/2021 17:08

No.

Crunchymum · 09/08/2021 17:09

My DP isn't vaccinated, his choice.

In fact a fair of my friends aren't either (a few a TTC / breast feeding, another has allergies, a few want to wait and see)

They aren't anti vax per se, they just don't feel comfortable - for their own reasons - with this vaccine and I respect that.

Funnylittlefloozie · 09/08/2021 17:10

No, never.

HealthKick2021 · 09/08/2021 17:10

No.

Clocktopus · 09/08/2021 17:10

No, it would be at ideological odds with how I want to live my life and how I want to raise my children. For example, if DH decided not to get a vaccine/any vaccines because of whatever reasons then that's fine, that's his choice. I wouldn't like it but whatever. If he then started saying I shouldn't get vaxxed or the DC shouldn't get vaxxed (as many anti-vaxxers would) then we'll have problems. Life is too short to be constantly at loggerheads on basic issues such as health.

Itsallabouttea · 09/08/2021 17:11

A full on antivaxxer, no.

Someone who has concerns about the brand new technology of the covid vaccine, yes.

Covid denier- what does that mean?

Someone who thinks covid is totally made up, probably not.

Someone who questions whether some of the responses to covid are proportionate to the threat, probably.
