12. Oh, I am so sorry!

That has to be upsetting and scary as hell! My own brother was "vaccine reluctant," but I kept after him, reminded him of how we both had been vaccinated against deadly diseases our whole lives, polio, etc. My brother is also agoraphobic, doesn't like leaving the house, so there's also that. But when the nearby state run site at the local mall started taking walk-ins, I offered to take him and he went with me. I think he just got sick of my nagging, LOL. And he said that he could get to the appointment for his second shot on his own, but I showed up and took him for that one, too.

I sure wish that you could convince your daughter. I blame TFG for the low vaccination rate in this country, though it's readily available now in most places, since we know from Bob Woodward's tapes that he knew the truth early on. And I still can't imagine what he got out of poisoning so many minds, it's not like he got any income out of people getting sick and we know that's all he cares about.
