Friendship vs vaccination

It’s different values, I think it’s selfish not to be vaccinated, such a small thing when you think what others sacrifice,you should put your fear to one side and think of others. I have one friend who won’t have it as she doesn’t fancy the side effects she might have, so prefers waiting it out until the rest have had it, not a pleasant side of anyone to see, but we have not fallen out but I do feel differently about her.

I would never lose a good friend over this type of issue.

I agree with Galaxy. Friends accept that we all get it wrong sometimes.

It’s nice to have some friends who think like we do, but it’s interesting to have a few who are more challenging. It adds spice to life and stops us getting entrenched.

Mark her down as one of the challenging ones. (And an idiot)?

(And then accept she’s feeling just the same about you)

Patsie maybe you feel bad because C19 has dominated our lives for so long and it seems your friend is sabotaging the possible solution.

Has she already turned down an opportunity to be vaccinated?

A friend who I have known since I was 3 has over lockdown become embroiled in conspiracy theories, anti vaccine, trump etc. I am just trying to remember that lots of people are behaving in an unusual manner at the moment, and also trying to remember that my friends have stood patiently by whilst I have made mistakes or done something wrong.

I have a similar friend.

It doesn't suit me to allow the matter to interfere with our friendship but I understand that others on Gransnet will disagree with me.

We have had several discussions. I think she will end up having it as she is beginning to waiver.

If they bring in rules such as "you can't go on a train or to the cinema or a restaurant without being vaccinated", I think people will find life hard if they refuse the vaccine for no real reason.

Maybe they won't bring in such rules.
