Seems I have a couple of friends who don't subscribe to the same views as me regarding vaccines. I'm not going to demonize them and would prefer to stay friends and see them for coffee etc.
So I'm curious, from a safety point of view, what's your strategy in terms of close contact with friends who won't get vaccinated, if you have any?
- If you got the vaccine it's a small risk for you, a big one for them.
Why is it so hard to grasp that unless we ALL get vaccinated we're not in the clear!grafician - flol at the vaccine putting us in the clear.hans_glib
- i have a good friend who doesn't intend to get the vaccine. she feels (quite rightly) that it hasn't been tested properly and she would like the choice...hans_glib
- ... not to have it. we've seen each other regularly throughout the whole pandemic and i'm not abandoning her because of her stance.hans_glib
- i say that as someone who will be fully vacc'd by next week.hans_glib
- @hans, will you both continue to wear masks and socially distance when you meet?mort_
- I'm in the same boat as hans, getting my first dose at 4.30 and have friends who refuse to get it who I've hung out with throughout this pandemicIanbolton
- Happy to let people make their own choices, but i think it's hard to discrimminate as some people just don't have a lot of trust in anything right nowIanbolton
- Yeah, I don't think anyone is on firm ground here really. You have to just educate yourself as best as you can and go with what makes sense to you.mort_
- And avoid certain conversations with those friends if they aren't productive.mort_
- It depends on what they do with their time. If they're honest with you and if they are extremely limiting indoor contact then it's low risk for you.nb

- The same science says wearing masks is important. Can’t pick and choose you commie bitch.monospaced
- @mort no we'll continue to meet up indoors and hug each other, as we pretty much have done throughout the whole sorry affair.hans_glib
- i should add that to begin with we were very respectful - she shared a house with a worried housemate, and i had to visit my folks, so we needed to be sure...hans_glib
- ... we weren't carrying anything nasty. but after a while it became obvious that we were effectively a bubble so that was that.hans_glib
- Sensible!mort_
- i have both vaccinated and non vaccinated friends and i am not. nothing changed with me and them. i respect their choice and they respect mine.renderedred
- To clarify grafician, it's no risk to the vaccinated and barely any risk to the unvaccinated, assuming they're not obese, don't have comorbidities, etc...MondoMorphic
- You got vaxed. The chance of you getting re-infected is super slim. Trust your immune systems and start living again.pr2
- Everyone has a different risk profile. AZ is like 1 in 100k will get a blood clot and die. That might be an unnessasary risk, or it might be acceptable riskmonNom
- If you live in a way that you're not likely to get covid, even if it's 100x more likely to kill you, that might not make sense for you. For most people, it doesmonNom
- not everybody dies from a blood clot, that's not true, but you're going to live on blood thinner for the rest of your life.sted
- Family of 4 gets AZ.
Mother over 75: no side effects or symptoms.
Daughter: fever, weakness 4 days suffering
Son1: fever
Son2: no side effects or symptoms.sted - Mother and Son2 are obese and strong smokers they live an unhealthy life, Son1 is just smoking, Daughter obese and non-smoker.sted
- my wife, my daughter and I have all had the 1sst shot of Phizer. Don't think I'll be hanging out with anyone that hasn't had the shot unless we're wearing masksexador1
