NEW YORK — The holidays are about to get heated — and politics aren’t even the main issue this time. Nearly two-thirds of vaccinated Americans are banning unvaccinated family members from their holiday gatherings this year.
A survey of 2,000 U.S. residents – conducted by OnePoll on Nov. 2 – examined how the COVID-19 vaccine has impacted people’s relationships with their loved ones ahead of the holidays this year.
holidays unvaccinatedAccording to the results, two in three respondents feel they cannot go home for the holidays without getting vaccinated first. Of the 65 percent who are fully vaccinated, nearly six in 10 (58%) have reportedly cut off family members who refuse to get the vaccine. Meanwhile, 63 percent don’t feel comfortable inviting unvaccinated relatives to their parties.
Seventy-two percent of vaccinated respondents don’t think they could ever get some of their family members to understand the importance of the vaccine. On the other hand, 14 percent of survey respondents don’t plan to ever get the shot themselves.
When asked about their decision, one respondent admits that they “don’t trust the vaccine is safe,” while another says they are “concerned about side effects.” One even believes the vaccine “was rushed and people who are getting vaccinated are still getting sick.”
Half of the unvaccinated respondents (49%) have stopped communicating with family members who don’t understand why they refuse the shot.

I find this hard to believe.
Same. If you let this come between you and family, you have problems.
Maybe they just surveyed leftists.
I don’t. Liberals are the most hateful people on the face of the earth. Whether is politics, vaccines (which are politics), etc- its’ their way or the highway.
The article is a bit overheated.
My sister normally has Thanksgiving at her house. She is not holding it this year over fear of Covid in general (for the vaxxed or unvaxxed).
She is the hostess—that is her call—no drama—nobody is angry or offended in any way.
The article does not even discuss that approach.
So “they” say.
This simply isn’t true.
As Mike Rowe said:
‘The fact is, millions of reasonable Americans have every right to feel confused and skeptical. Those people you refer to, Steve – the ones now telling us that we can “get back to normal just as soon as everyone is vaccinated” – those are the same people who said, “two weeks to flatten the curve!”
‘Those are the same people who told us that masks were “useless” before they told us they were “critical.”
‘Those are the same people who told us that a return to normalcy would occur just as soon as “the most vulnerable” among us were vaccinated. Then, just as soon as “half the population” was vaccinated. Then, just as soon as we achieved “herd immunity.”
‘Those are the same people who told us they wouldn’t trust ANY vaccine developed under the last administration. Now, those very same people are belittling the skeptics!’
One even believes the vaccine “was rushed and people who are getting vaccinated are still getting sick.”

Oh, that never happens. Well, hardly ever.
99% of statistics are made up.
Hell? That’s the best you can do?
No listening to the drivel of vaxxbots?

I’ve never heard of this source before, and wonder if it’s just another pop-up gaslighting source, to fill a need for gaslighting the public about why Thanksgiving attendance may be down this year.
This needs to be a t-shirt!!!
Also, 99% of experts are made up!!
Does anyone really believe this? Maybe in hard-core Democrat families, but I doubt beyond that.
Other than myself, all in my family has gotten the jab. I’ve been invited, but I’m not sure I will go. I’m thinking it might be risky with so many potential spreaders. I did go to my grandson’s wedding recently but didn’t feel comfortable. I don’t generally wear a mask, but I did their. (the only one)
The hell they aren’t!
They state in the article it is not because of politics, but I bet it is. The left has hated Trump since 2015, and that hasn’t changed despite having Brandon in the White House soiling his Underoos. They do not want those in the family for the holidays who are going to argue that the DEMs stole the election. So, blaming it on the unvaccinated is just a convenient excuse. It’s politics. Has been since January 2020 with regards to COVID-19.
20 seconds! I agree!
