To ask if you know any couples who have split over vaccination status.

[JudyGemstone]

My partner and I both work in healthcare, although I have a client facing clinical role and he doesn’t (call centre).

I have had both vaccines and the booster, mainly as the NHS require it, I have no particular strong feelings around it either way.

My partner hasn’t had it and will not be, he does have strong feelings about it. This doesn’t bother me in itself, but it seems like our lives might become more separate/distant as things like travel/events etc are affected.

My mum was already making noises about not wanting him to come with us to my parents for Xmas, he has made other plans now anyway and I wouldn’t have supported my mum in excluding him but it made me think, if these sort of things keep happening/get worse I’m not sure how that’ll impact on our relationship.

Do you know of any couples who have split over vaccine differences?
Would you be willing to split with a partner over this?

Thanks

[quote BeardieWeirdie]@XenoBitch I never said I was scared, it’s more having no desire to be around morons with no social conscience. That and they are more likely to transmit covid than vaccinated people. I have to put up with anti-vaxxers in the shops but there’s no way they’re welcome in my house and there are no apologies given for that.[/quote]
This. For me it isn't only the fact they are more likely to give me COVID. I don't want to break bread with people who've swallowed this "my body my choice" Kool Aid and lack the critical faculties, the public spirit or the self-awareness that its not just their bodies.

How can you tell who is an anti-vaxxer in the shops?

@XenoBitch a lot of the time, the stupid people amongst us that have “done their research” on vaccines, have also “done their research” on masks. Or those who are stupid enough to refuse vaccines are also arrogant enough to think they’re “exempt” from mask wearing because they have anxiety/can’t breathe properly in a mask/glasses fog up in a mask etc etc (insert any bloody excuse)
