My parents called me today on conference....out of the blue....begging me to get the jab. They are really scared and were trying to scare me into it. My only sibling suddenly passed away last year (not covid). It been a mind bendingly difficult year and a half. I am looking for advice on what to say to them. I was caught off guard and had company over etc. They are my going to let this go. I hate to see them worried and upset. We normally are like minded. I can't believe this conversation is even a thing! FU WU-FLU! ðŸ˜
Sorry for the typos...I’m just upset.
Politely but firmly decline and tell them you love them and appreciate their concern.
Have them turn off their television set.
They still watch Fox. I stopped after the election thankfully.
Get some Ivermectin:

Or take lactoferrin:

Then tell your parents you have something that is way more effective in preventing covid than the jabs.
And if they don’t stop harassing you over it, you don’t have to talk to them at all.

How old are you? You sound like a young lady barely in her 20s still trying to adjust to adulthood.
It gets easier over time; dealing with your parents as equals. Now is a good time to start that process. Assert yourself and tell them the subject is not open for discussion.
Ask them if they want to lose their other daughter. Not that I mean to be calloused, but that would be the risk to them if you got the vaccine.
Tell them you took it, and tell them never to bring up the subject again.
Did that today for my 85 year old Mom who said I had to get the "shot".
She had no idea and watches Fox.
We‘re getting that from family members too. Basically letting us know that we cannot be with them unless we‘re vaccinated. I assume that you have studied the issue and you’re making an informed decision. Tell them that. You don‘t have to argue with them but simply ask them to respect your decision. Call and let them talk. Say, „I‘m sorry you’re upset.“. Let them talk some more. Then tell them you love them but you have to go.
How old are you?
Are you in good health?
Any comorbidities?
I am assuming you are an adult. If you are not living under their roof, you make your own decisions. Thanks them for their concern, but your mind is set.
We are best friends so it’s not that easy. Which is also why I’m beside myself. It’s as if all of our conversations over the last year never happened. They are still grieving over the loss of my sister so they get VERY emotional.
For you it’s just a flu. Unless you’re obese.
I actually had it and have the IgG and IgM antibodies.
I was taking Ivermectin once a month when I caught it and it was just a mild flu.

Fear is more contagious than the ‘rona.
