I had a family member attend a child's birthday birthday party at my house. This person was not vaccinated, and had attended a friendly protest just before attending the party. Am I right to be frustrated about this?

🙄. You are what is wrong with the world right now posting shit like this.
Nope, that would be you.
After the last post, why post this?
I’m out.
I’d be frustrated too, if I lived in Vic, or NSW. Luckily I live in a COVID free state for now, so I can afford to be more generous with friends who take stupid risks.
I work in aged care in Victoria and yes I would be absolutely frustrated by this.
Yep. Totally get it. Husband and I work in health and we have family members who are severely immunocompromised. We are completely and utterly over selfish behaviour of people who only care about themselves rather than other people.
We are in Vic and you know what, come to our ED. Come on. Have a look and listen. I've had 'vaccine hesitant' and complete anti-vaxxers here. And you know what? When they are suffocating, when they think they are going to die because they are so unwell, they beg for the bloody jab. It is heartbreaking. It's soul destroying for us. We do whatever we can for them before they go to either the ward or up to ICU, but 99% of those who are unvaccinated, beg us for help and to be vaccinated.
Depends where you are. Id covid in your local area?
They put themselves at risk considering they were at a party full of unvaccinated kids. Its not the unvaccinated adults you need to be concerned about spreading it, it's the kids. It's how every bug spreads, school kids.
Putting themselves at risk is their own business. Putting others at risk, whether you think it's low or high, is the issue. They don't get to decide that, the common courtesy thing to do here, in all situations, is check in with those attending, and follow the guidelines and accept if others wish to.
Paediatric deaths due to covid are rising significantly with Delta. If covid is in the area I'd be annoyed.
Why have a party then if so concerned? This post does not make sense. If you're really concerned about your kids getting covid 19 why would you have a party for them? Why didn't she ask for adults attending for proof of vaccination before attending if this is something she's concerned about? Any of the guests or parents could be unvaccinated, obviously the one that went to the protest just made it known.
Even if they’re on the rise, kids aren’t vaccinated and even if they were, they will still catch and spread Covid like any unvaccinated person. So I don’t get the issue. They’re harming themselves and no one else.
It's amazing how you can turn it into others issues. They can have a party if they want. 'why do it if they're so worried?' is the height of antivaxxer ignorance. Respect others and don't force yourself and your bad logic onto others. Just be honest and have the decency to give others the option of making their own choice and taking their own risks with their own and their children's lives. You don't have the right to do that to anybody.
I'm not an anti vaxxer lol. I'm fully vaccinated but I know that I come into contact with unvaccinated people every day, we all do. If the poster is so worried about this one family member being unvaccinated at her child's party full of unvaccinated children, then maybe she should have been proactive about it and done something since she was the one in control of that environment. It was at her house, her rules. If she didn't want an unvaccinated person at her house she should have made that clear before hand. As if someone dead against vaccination is going to turn around and say, "Gee I better not go to that child's party because I'm a risk" lmao, anti vaxers don't think of themselves like that. It's up to the OP to call the shots at her house.
Yes selfish scumbags
I don’t think you have a right to be frustrated. Their body, their choice. If everyone else is vaccinated, they are risking themselves! NOT you, they’re not putting you at risk. You’re vaccinated. You can still get Covid and still spread covid, it just won’t be as bad for you. So if they’re willing to maybe get Covid and be worse off then how does that affect you…?
*hopefully won't be as bad. The kids are not vaccinated. You have no right to decide they can get it because it won't be that bad, who the hell are you?
It's really NOT that bad. I have had COVID, as have my kids. And we were unvaccinated at the time. Media is hyping it up way too much, it's really only the elderly who are dying WITH Covid but not OF Covid.
If people want to take the risk and have a party, then vaccinated or unvaccinated attendees - they're at risk of catching it. NO ONE is immune. So who cares whether someone unvaccinated attended..?
Again, that's your opinion, not your right to force on others.
People do care if unvaccinated attend. 1. They can catch and spread it more easily. 2. Their kids are not vaxxed. 3. They were at a rally yesterday. Have some courtesy before rocking up, I'm vaxxed and I would check if they're ok with it, it's just respect that I don't make decisions for other people.
Tbh with vaccination rates being so high in New South Wales I have no issue with being around those who have chosen not to. However I may feel a little uncomfortable if those people are involved in risky behaviours I.e attending protests on mass.
What's the point being frustrated now?
I'm guessing you were pretty well aware of your relative's vaccination and political stance before the party (or at the very least during the party when they made it known), if it bothered you that much why wouldn't you stipulate that you don't want high risk unvaccinated people in your home??
It just always amuses me when people sit back and allow something to happen that they aren't comfortable with, then they stew about it afterwards. What an absolute waste of energy!
Eventually, we're all going to come into contact with unvaccinated people in the community. Most of us probably already do! We cannot control the actions and choices of others but we can do what we need to do to protect ourselves by maintaining hygeine, wearing masks, getting vaxed and having boundaries for our homes.
Easy...
This devide that’s happening is disgusting!
You can still get Covid and pass it on when vaccinated .
It’s easy to blame the unvaccinated but everyone should have a choice.
If you have a real hard look and do some research other than MSM you will know what’s really going on they want this devide and your falling for it by thinking this of your own family member .
For all you know you could have been standing next to an unvaccinated person at the shops .
Wake up everyone!
There is a divide in most areas of life. Atm though covid and vaccinations for it are currently in the spotlight. Conversation, debate and sharing ideas is great as long as everyone stays respectful. The world would be a very dull place if everyone thought and acted the same
There is no debate with covid though !
It’s MSM and listen to the politician’s.
Or else you lose your job and freedoms !
If you choose to only follow msm and politicians then that is your prerogative. There are many more sources out there to gain evidence based information. It is the government's and politicians job to put laws and measures in place to protect the whole of society, not just a select few. It is still a choice to get or not get the vaccine but it comes with consequences both ways, just like with any choice we make in life.
Reports are coming in thick and fast in vaccine injuries and there have been quiet a number of new cases in Sydney at gyms where only double vaccinated can go .
I’d be concentrating more on spending quality time with your family .
Covid is everywhere and anybody vaccinated or not can get it .
O my gawd, there are so many dumb arses commenting on this thread . Ill-researched opinionated fakery and lies continue to swirl regarding a life saving vaccine. Don't bother commenting on my comment, I won't be reading them. U can debate it among yourselves. So many self proclaimed knowledgeable university educated Scientists on here who think covid itself is less of a risk than a protected vaccine . 🤣
Fuck me dead.
I think most just lack the skills in how to research it for themselves and how to recognise reliable sources. Anyone with an opinion is able to find another person that agrees with their point of view and for them that is all they need to feel justified in their opinion. This is where the internet is a double edged sword, it's full of correct reliable evidence based information but it's also full of opinions that go against facts and feed into fear mongering and misinformation. Its simultaneously great and exhausting 😅
Apologies for my remark about the spelling, I’ve deleted it.
I bet I could post a question with literally nothing but the word COVID and it would still decend into this madness 😂
You all have surely gotta be sick of arguing on all these covid posts by now...
It's fascinating though! Social science is simply fascinating 😅
Fuck some people are stupid.
😂 Your comment is pointless and the epitome of stupidity. Kinda ironic lol
