Yeah. Its worse because that family member initially infected me with covid (possibly twice), then refused to test, then had to get two shots at the same time, which of course caused massive issues and then fell down a hard anti-vax pipeline, aided by very vocal anti-vax coworkers (one of which like verbally harassed me and claimed my lungs would get moldy and co2 would build up in my brain because I masked)
Even before the pandemic, that family member refused to get their ND kid any help because therapists are conmen who create and back in their day, those mental health problems didn’t exist. Given the rest of family is „critical“ of establishment medicine/science - I become the „problem“ the moment I even push back.
I've noticed some anti-vaxxers use supposed allergies to vaccines (if those exist) as an excuse to not get a vaccine. Maybe I'm being a little careless, but I'd rather these people have allergic reactions to a specific vaccine than not get it and be infected with a virus that vaccine is protecting you from.
It's much more infuriating if they refuse vaccines because to them they might cause autism or any other neurodivergences as if we haven't been around since the beginning of humans.
It's hard because they refuse to listen to what you're saying. I think for the most part your family knows what they believe is wrong if I'm not mistaken, but they still don't care that it is because they don't want to vaccinate their children and just allow people to needlessly die from a virus. So for example, just today my Aunt repeated the "Tylenol causes autism" nonsense to an Autistic person (me) and I pushed back telling her she has no evidence to prove this. She then claimed my Autism came from a vaccine I had to get when I was six-months old, as if Autism again isn't genetic.
Some of those allergic reactions are deadly. An ex-neighbor won't vaccinate their surviving child because the elder child died of an allergic reaction, not sure what the ingredients were, or how long ago, suspect albumin.
