Should give you a bit of satisfaction, too, knowing you did something incredibly simple that could prevent a ton of hardship. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ickplant@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago This will make you see red. My nephew cannot get vaccinated for legitimate health reasons. His parents were always pro-vax until it came time for the Covid vaccine. Then they became all “mRNA is a new technology, we don’t have enough research.” We basically stopped talking to them after my husband yelled at his brother (nephew’s dad) that he is risking killing his own son if he gets Covid. So fucking stupid. Yes, they are conservative although they claim not to support Trump. permalink fedilink source parent
