Got some relatives coming in from Austin

We are going to say no to visiting with them. He and his 16 year old son are not vaccinated. Here in Albuquerque I have a daughter 6 months pregnant and nieces age 10 and 6 not vaccinated.
It’s really tough because we haven’t seen my nephew for going on two years now.

They know our ideology is completely opposite of theirs. To me it shows naïveté at a minimum or callous disregard for our well being.
I’m very disappointed that they have chosen to not get vaccinated.

Both for the safety of your family, and to show those Austin-ites that there are consequences for not being vaccinated.
