39. That sounds like one of my cousins

She has a PhD in environmental science. VERY intelligent woman with a blind spot when it comes to vaccinations.

I'm much closer to her brother and he has vented his frustration with his sister. Her HUSBAND, who is vaccinated has vented his frustration and it's caused issues with their marriage. Her daughter has had to drop out of her dance club that she LOVED. Her brother has stopped sharing the holidays with them.

Her family did finally come down with Covid - thankfully not severe cases. She's still resisting vaccinations. Her big fear has to do with fertility.

Also have a nephew who is a BIG time antivaxxer, anti masker and conspiracy theory enthusiast. I haven't seen him or his daughter in 4 years. She's going to be 7 on January 1 and I miss her and her parents like crazy.

It is beyond frustrating but I have to put myself first in this situation.
