If you have no side effects it will motivate her to follow in your footsteps. If you have a serious adverse reaction everyone of her friends, family, and members of her village will probably never get the shot. If you have moderate side effects she'll probably still balk and I wouldn't blame her. I did get the 2 Moderna shots in NY by Feb 9 before returning after 14 month absence to visit her. Of course I told her they were painless. Maybe made the mistake then of contributing to badmouthing the Chinese viruses.

June 2, 20214 yr Why would you push her to do something she doesn't want to do? Your not here, so you don't know. Plus people here haven’t been brain washed with liberal social propaganda like you have . So drop it and don't stress her out.

Plausible BS is still BS and there are clues as to what it is.

Plausible BS is still BS and there are clues as to what it is. Sadly, social media casts a very wide net. I know many who fall for the fake news and memes on social media. They don't know how to fact check, or don't care as they like what they've read/seen.

I'm sure you would agree that real friends are certainly not so disposable or exchangeable. Nor are real relationships the simple push and pull suggested by BTB1977 when he writes: "Why would you push her to do something she doesn't want to do? Your[sic] not here, so you don't know. Plus people here haven’t been brain washed with liberal social propaganda like you have . So drop it and don't stress her out." Ignoring the ad hominem, presumption, and prejudice, you might agree that real friends don't stay silent when they think their partner is dangerously misinformed anymore then they force their friend to do what they don't want to do. People are not billiard balls. Have you never told a loved one, or has a loved one never told you, you should go to the hospital, see a doctor, get some rest? That's the pushing and pulling that real friends and lovers do.

It was the Clinton machine. Besides, who was on the fence trying to decide who to vote for? Billary or Trump are the two most devisive political figures in modern history. That's absolutely clueless.

Billary or Trump are the two most devisive political figures in modern history. That's absolutely clueless. Actually not. The Senate committee noted that the Trump campaign cooperated with Russian intermediaries including Data sharing. The Mueller report finding that Manafort and others cooperated with Russian agents and lied about it was redacted by the Dept. of Justice under William Barr.

Why would anti-vax fanatics get so irate about someone being concerned for the welfare of a loved one? I think I answered my own question.

I think I answered my own question. I wondered the same thing, but don't see your answer. Please explain. I think it's the extreme right, especially American Trumpist, projection that he (like my GF) is always pushed around by elitist, know-it-all socialists like he assumes I am, combined inconsistently with the non-conservative, neo-liberal assumption that humans (like my poor GF) are free-thinking blank-slates, untouched by peers, culture, or society. "What's love got to do with it?"

"What's love got to do with it?" Because he's utterly anti-vax and angry about it. Clearly his reply has nothing to do with your understandable concern for your wife's health.
