Dear Miss Manners: My husband and I are expecting our second child. When I delivered our son, before the pandemic, there were no restrictions on visitors at our hospital, and any required and routine vaccinations were not an issue, despite known political differences among our family members.
Now, things have changed. My husband’s father, sister and her entire family refuse to be vaccinated against the coronavirus, despite several cases in the family — including our son, who was too young to be vaccinated and ended up at the hospital via ambulance.
My husband and I are both very confrontation-averse, but we are not comfortable having anyone who is not fully vaccinated at the hospital. I thought to send a full-family message, so no one will be singled out, stating that we would be happy to see them in person if they have received their Tdap and coronavirus vaccines, in line with hospital regulations.
I want to pair the vaccines in the message, because I know they all have their Tdap shots up to date, and it might soften the politics associated with the newer vaccine. Is there a polite way to set these boundaries?

Temps seem to get overlooked in this hot mess. Don’t know if it’s official or their paperwork got “lost”
“My husband and I are both very confrontation-averse... “
Yeah ... That’s a lie. They’re just pickin’ for a lickin’ and can’t wait to piss off their more reasonable relatives.
The baby’s health already has been highly compromised if Mom has had the clot shots, and I guess she has. She and her now-tainted breast milk are far more dangerous than exposure to any non-vaxed person.
“Your family is more important than your stupid ass virtue signaling, because it isn’t science.
Very good.
And at this point in time is hard to believe there still are people hooked on vaxes and masks. I see almost none of that here in TN any more, but I suppose highly lib areas are different.
no kid(or anyone else) is that important to me... I refuse to be fake with anyone. and thats the only way to describe what the steps would take to make nice in this situation. that kid would never see me again...
At what point will she feel comfortable with a visit in her home?
I'm 62. I was adopted before my 3rd birthday. I am open to be re-adopted. You really need someone to hand all of your stuff to.
Same here. It sticks out like a sore thumb when I see someone masked. It’s an neon sign flashing, “I’m afraid”, “I have no control”.
Much like carrying a gun.
