Partner refuses COVID jab...

[cosmikdebris]

He's convinced that the government are trying to reduce human population and that the COVID jab with damage our health or reduce our lifespan. I think he's completely mad 🤣 it's come out of nowhere, he's never had this attitude towards anything, he's not a conspiracy theory kinda guy. He's fine with other jabs, just is weird about this one. Not really sure why I'm posting this, i just guess I want someone to confirm I'm not the only one that thinks he's stupid😂

I don’t find this amusing and it would be deal breaker for me.

It's covid reducing the population not the government.

Agree, I think the reasoning would be a potential deal breaker for me too.

Wow! I would not be impressed if my DH did this!,

Jesus do I think hes a bit of an idiot for thinking thats what the vaccine will do yes, would it be a deal breaker and end my relationship over- absolutely not!
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion whether you think its Batshit crazy or not!
My DH has also said he won't have the vaccine for similar reasons as your DP, alot of his peers are of the same opinion, something to do with Bill Gates cashing in or something, I stopped listening at that point tbh. I have never thought to end my 20 year relationship over it though.
How old is your DP? My DH and his friends mid 30s-early 40s so a long way off being offered it anyway but I wonder if its something similar with that age group.

Is he even eligible? How can you continue the relationship if he has such "alternative" views?

Have to agree that if my DH said this, I’d consider it indicative of a mental health issue. If he didn’t agree to get it then I’d insist on therapy or counselling.

I agree with him. They've been wrong about everything else, I'll pass on the vaccine thanks. Let the lockdown lovers risk their health.

I’d bin him.

Has he got capacity? He sounds psychotic tbh.

Oh my

I'm just waiting to get my microchip code, had the vax and will have the next one.

His logic is a bit askew, as it is not just one vaccine, (Is he scared of Pfizer orAstraZeneca?) but he is entitled to refuse any unwanted medical treatment

They're watching yooooooooou

I don't think calling him stupid will help convince him to take it.

Jesus...some of these comments! 'I'd bin him' 'he sounds psychotic' 'I'd insist in therapy'....

I think the posters are talking about themselves. What an overreaction! I personally will be getting the vaccine but there's plenty who aren't and that's their decision. As far as we know, having the vaccine can't stop you catching and spreading the virus, so the only people anti-vaxxers are risking are themselves. That's their choice and is not something to break up a long-term relationship over! X

Didn't take long for the total wankers to appear on this thread

It depends on your situation tbh. I'm CV group 6 so if DH refused the jab I'd have to rethink things due to him being happy to put me at risk. He's already had it though so it's hypothetical.

Also, I couldn't be in a relationship with such a stupid person. People have reasons for refusing the vaccine, all daft ones IMO, but that's outright idiotic.

Surely everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and he is allowed a different one to you.

I have friends who are for and against it, but I also recognise that everyone is entitled to their own thoughts.

Has he started being interested in other conspiracy theories? Mental health issues such as depression or bipolar can lead to a lot of susceptibility to these things. Rather than address it directly, you might want to consider if this might be the case and help him get support with that if so. Then see where his thoughts go after that.

Does he think you are stupid for wanting the vaccine?

How can you be involved with someone so thick hard of thinking?

I would be ok if dh said he doesn't want the vaccine with a good excuse but if he started to tell stories about microchips etc I would think he isn't mentally ok.

@Frazzled99 I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought the "bin him off" comments were over the top!
I'll be having mine as soon as I can get it, if DH doesn't want it that's his issue, there won't be any tea and sympathy from me if he gets ill with covid after turning down the vaccine.
I've heard from a few different people about how they think they are going to be injected with covid and thus reduce the population amongst other batshit theories, makes me wonder where people get ridiculous ideas from

Ddad isn’t having the vaccine. He thinks it’s a big conspiracy the whole thing.

I’m undecided if I’m honest on whether to have it or not.

Dsis is not having it because of the unknowns re fertility but as a teacher she’s been told by our gov (not mainland U.K.) that she has to have is as she’s a key worker. She’s uneasy about it.

Also, I couldn't be in a relationship with such a stupid person
I was going to say exactly the same. I dont think anyone should be forced to have the vaccine, its a personal choice. However your DPs reasoning is so irrational that he is obviously as thick as pigshit which is much more of a concern when you are in a relationship.
