One more thought (which applies _anytime_, regardless of the issue).
When someone tells you that you are being selfish, they just declared war on you.
They are claiming they own you, and you are their slave.
The vaccine is a symptom—you have a much bigger problem here.
The irony is that those who call others "selfish" are actually the selfish ones.
Almost invariably, they are looking to guilt others into doing their bidding. Which makes them the selfish ones.
Tell her “If you follow the science then you are protect by vaccines if they work and, if they don’t, then why in the f*ck would you want to put me a risk for known and document deadly side effects from a shot that does not work? Also - FO you nag!”
That is what I would say but you know your own situation far better.
Oh man- I feel for you. It sounds as though she’s not willing to learn new information. Does she know/believe that vaccinated people get covid all the time? And give it to others? Do you or she have serious comorbidities that are causing her fear? Is she aware of monoclonal treatments if she gets it?
I dunno- it depends on the sort of marriage you two have- obviously we all have made concessions in our marriages, relationships- compromising is part of life, but as a woman I’ll say I deplore emotional blackmail...”if you really loved me”...
I have no real advice other than sit down with them both and calmly tell them you’re firm on this and
ask them to respect your choice as you’ve respected theirs.
I wish you luck.

vax nazis should read a few death and injury stories
and then STFU
I’m not your doctor. >700,000 Americans have died.
I got the Moderna vaccine. Felt nothing from the first except needle stick soreness for 2 days. From the second, I felt fatigue for about 10 hours. Totally fine after that.
My antibody levels are at max. If I get Covid, I should fair fine.
Wife has had 2 Modernas and the booster. Felt the same as me and nothing bad on the booster.
You have been reading a lot of disinformation about the vaccines, IMO. Good luck.
I have a relative who turned emotional blackmail into an art form. (All my other relatives are great, btw.)
Everyone in the family is on to them—and has refused to speak to them for decades.
Those kind of people are toxic—the OP needs to get them out of his life—anything else is gonna get ugly sooner or later.
Your wife AND MIL should not question or guilt you. If she is Christian then she needs to get her Bible out and read.
Having said that, your a grown man and can make up your own mind. Your MIL needs to STFU.
I take it she watches the MSM on a regular basis.
I hope this doesn’t convey too much “activism”:
“The Devolution of Efficacy”

Uh oh... ok... maybe this guy is an activist:
I’m pretty sure the council members didn’t appreciate what this doctor had to say!

That’s emotional blackmail, as others have pointed out.
I’m lucky in that my wife actually raised the alarm about the nature of how this shot works, i.e.: genetic manipulation as opposed to “traditional” vaccine types. Neither of us are going to take this crap, ever. Even if it means losing my job (very possible).
But logic may not work in this case. You may want to pull your own “emotional” card...”My body, my choice”.
I know, lame. Seriously, though. The way I would handle it at this point is just to say, “I’m not taking it”, and leave it at that. End of discussion. Take it or leave it. Stand your ground.
Everyone’s gong to get it at some point if they haven’t already....geez. Might as well get it and deal.
As a wife may I say the “If you really loved me” is problematic.
I assume she and your MIL are “vaccinated.” If so, so. That was up to them. You respected their decisions. They can respect yours.
They are in no danger from you if the “vaccines” work.
And if they don’t work, why would you take them?
They can’t have it both ways.
I was going to say that he is Hank Reardon, personafied.
Unfortunately, Rand was great at identifying problems, but generally sucked at her solutions.
I agree with your post on Ayn Rand.
Correctly identifying the key problem is very important.
In the real world the solutions can be harder to find for sure.
But—it is so critical to get the evil people out of your space wherever they may be—once that is done it is amazing how great it is to be alive.
If she loved you she’d respect decisions you make about your body. I feel sorry for you, living with two nags.
My husband , over 70 was told by his doctor to get the vax. He did. I’m not getting one. I told him if I got sick and died because of him, I’d kill him. No, that was his decision. But tell your wife, that vaccinated or not, you both can get sick. Vaccinated or not, one or both of you may die anyway of covid. Breakthrough cases are all over.
Ask her if she trusts her vaccine, why does she need you to be vaccinated. Tell her if you get vaccinated you may give covid to her. Wash your hands, don’t pick your nose and you should be good to go. If she truly loves you, she will accept your decision.
I don’t disagree.
If you are fine so far without the vaccine during the wave of infections ghen why would you rake ut when cases are falling.
