AIBU or is my DH being unreasonable!

* So yes I do think YABU as your OH and yourself can catch it from anyone you mix with vaccinated or not*

But more likely to catch it from someone who is unvaccinated, as their viral load tends to be higher and also infectious for longer.

* BUT....their chances of catching and passing on this virus is exactly the same as those who have been vaccinated.*

Nope. Greater chance of catching it if you’re unvaccinated and greater chance of passing it on because the viral load and length of infection is great in the unvaccinated. New variants come from unvaccinated communities too.

You most certainly are not being unreasonable.

He is putting you and everyone else he is in contact with at risk, very very foolish indeed, in fact it is far more than foolish.

Surely, the unvaccinated are more at risk from socialising? If people don't want the vaccine that is their choice but since we can all catch or spread the virus (vaccinated or not). I don't quite understand why unvaccinated people put anyone more at risk than anyone else. Everyone should be following hands, face, space, ventilate, whether vaccinated or not. Im not going to ostracise people who have not been vaccinated and how would I know anyway? I can catch this virus anywhere. I think there is more susceptibility to catching it where there are crowds.

Unvaccinated people are much more likely to catch Covid and when they do, carry a higher viral load and are infectious for longer. New variants also arise from unvaccinated communities. They also pose more of a risk to elderly and CEV people and at the moment, represent a higher proportion of patients in ICU with Covid.

I also think you do have to balance this with the fact that some - not all - but some vaccinated people think that because they are vaccinated they are no longer a risk and are not subject to the same precautions, which is not the case.

Pammie, I get your point. Unless we are going to ask every single person we meet whether they are vaccinated, it's impossible to know otherwise. I also hate what this bl***y Pandemic has done to people.

Yes you’re being unreasonable. Covid is here to stay. It’s just a very severe flu that would take out anyone whose immune system is compromised. If you’re healthy and strong just get some flu medicines like lemsip, sinus relief, cough mixture, friars balsam or menthol crystals for steaming and you’re well sorted. I know you don’t want to hear this however, you’re at the mercy of public opinion and mesmerism. Wake up and live. Be happy and just wear a mask if it makes you feel safer.

Another thing, unvaccinated people aren’t falling I’ll, the vaccinated are because their immune system has been hijacked by the RNA part of the vaccine and it is bonding with the natural DNA on the surface of the cell wall, causing breakdown there. Do some research and don’t be afraid to consider others’ opinions and research that is available. The vaccine is still largely untested and the side effects will not fully be seen until more years have passed.

I don't think the vaccine is doing much good. Everyone I know has caught the virus. Most are fully vaccinated including myself.
I do think people who are vaccinated are keeping closer company with crowds, friends, and family as they feel well protected. Social distances has become a thing of the past which is probably why figures are so high now.
The age old question is
Is the vaccine helping to reduce deaths and serious complications
Or
Has the virus and its varients become weaker over time and now not such a serious risk
As for masks they can't stop viruses spreading unless you use the N type of mask. But there again do they contribute to the spread of germs by people having closer contact.
I've had 3 vaccines so not an antivaxer.
