I’m going to suggest something, bc I felt something similar recently. I’ll preface this to say that my family is vaccinated and I don’t agree with their choice.

But, I have friends that are so strict, that they only now are seeing anyone. Their daughter was my daughters best friend for years. I’ve reached out 3 times and been turned down for the girls to hang out. It’s not like I said I wouldn’t wear masks or whatever, just clearly passing on it. I found out that she’s reaching out to families whose daughters aren’t good friends with her daughter, I guess bc they are “more careful” than me. Even though the rational part of me knows that we maybe are too loose for her, the irrational part of me feels judged and found “dirty”. It’s a terrible feeling. Maybe being asked to test triggers those kinds of feelings for them. This is such a delicate thing we walk.

Try asking everyone to take a test, bc that kinda weeds out that emotional reaction.

With a nicu baby I completely understand, and I don’t have patience with anti vax ppl either, but how are we ever going to change minds without getting those chances to have conversations? I’ve been able to convince a few people, and that’s enough for me.

If they still refuse after that, well you tried
