My daughters only trust the CDC. To their detriment. When the middle one got Covid, I was worried and I told my son in law I had ivermectin, if she wanted it. That’s all I said. Because I said that, I am not allowed to be alone with my grandson anymore.
We can only offer. They are the captains of their own souls.

Thankful for our time of prayer for our nation and FRens. Please join in. 3:15.
LORD, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, O LORD. Renew them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy.
Habakkuk 3:2
You are a wise mother. Sometimes that takes fortitude. You’ve got it.

You probably already know that you’re not being punished because she’s truly afraid you might force IVM on your grandson. You’re being punished because you were right about all of it and you’re a constant reminder of her shame and embarrassment over the increasing evidence that she was wrong. Shame and embarrassment are painful emotional states and they damage a person’s self-image. People without the poise and grace to admit they might be wrong sometimes try to deflect their pain by causing pain to someone else in the mistaken belief/hope that exercising such a power will improve their self-image.
What’s happening all around us is very complicated, and we who’ve done nothing wrong may have to demonstrate mercy and humility to the very people who were so mean to us after they were duped by very powerful forces. A meme I saw recently accurately describes the situation many of us are in now - “It’s never socially acceptable to be right too soon.” Some of us are continuing to pay a heavy price for that. I’ll continue to pray that your daughter begins to demonstrate the poise and grace that you undoubtedly taught her, and that she ends the cruelty.
This, too, shall pass.
