I'm having a terrifying experience, as my husband is on the phone fighting w our anti-vax daughter
I refuse to talk with her about her obsession, but hubby has been patient. Tonight — Mother of God — I don’t know what the hell she started with but I think it was how we all got together on Sunday for a 2 y.o. niece’s b’day party and how she now thinks we must have spread disease to her kids because we have been vaccinated for COVID.
It was a fun day, actually — our first social outing in a year. About half the people there are vaccine-hesitant, but hubby and I had our second shot 6 weeks ago & it is such a great feeling. We hugged and everything.
So, tonight. This loud conversation 3 rooms away from me has been going on for at least an hour and my stomach is in knots. Did you know FDR was crippled by ... DDT?
It is completely down the rabbit hole. 
I made myself a cup of tea, then realized I needed something a lot stronger, so poured myself a dollop of whiskey on ice.
Any good vibes appreciated. Really. Or prayers to whatever gods are listening. Thank you for listening, my DU friends.
= new reply since forum marked as read
there was also one about how women shouldn't get the vaccine because they'll bleed to death and the vaccine alters your DNA and gives you COVID and so much more. One of the dumbest ones is that vaccines weaken your natural immune system.
People are the worst. They'll see something shocking and share it so others will see it and share.
They think we're still dealing with live virus vaccines, much like the original polio vaccine, MMR, chicken pox, etc. They don't get that the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines don't even involve a virus, but use a protein, instead. But, most likely, they're confusing J&J's "viral vector" technology with the old live/attenuated virus technologies. I think that's where the false "They change your DNA" conspiracies came from, as well.
I hope you are planning to call your relative in 6 months to remind him/her that you're still here. 
in homes all across the country. I really don't think it does much good to argue with them but hopefully, your daughter will come around.
very sorry.

The Polio Vaccine was invented in 1955
What you are going through with an anti-vax daughter.
Glad you're vaccinated yourself. Hang in there old friend. 
Way, Hekate!
Gracefully getting out of the Twilight Zone, too.

Coincidentally, I posted a YouTube video earlier and then I decided to look at the YT comments about it.
That's where I saw some people arguing that the vaccines were CAUSING people to get Covid! 
That was a new crazy conspiracy idea for me! 
It does absolutely no good to argue with these people. They've all painted themselves into a corner on this, and even if there was some concrete argument that disproved everything they previously thought, they'd never admit it.
I suggest meditation, maybe yoga if you're able, but worry is counterproductive and only weakens your immunity to disease.
You've done all you can do, and she's going to believe whatever fits within the narrow framework of her worldview. You can't save them all, even your children. Get a good night's sleep.
Just thanks.
I can't imagine how stressful this must be for you. I don't know if your daughter will ever change her mind, but at least you can know that you have done your best and detatch with love. Sending you and your family healing vibes.
Just realize you and your husband are safe, and believe in science and Fauci.
one good thing to do is send her The Code Breaker, which will give her insight and heart, and help her think about the virus reality we face.
A hot toddy is always the smart thing to do, friend. 
It's best to ask questions instead of making statements. Questions make the other party THINK.
Hope everything works out.
Thank Oprah and movie stars who jumped on the "vaccines cause Autism" bandwagon 20 years ago - something that has been debunked ad nauseum since then.
Many Democrats (See Rep Joe Kennedy as an example) and 'New Wave' naturalists (an outgrowth of the 1960's Naturalism/Anti-Science movement) unfortunately still believe Medical Science is just a profit driven bogus discipline, and we all need to just drink bark tea and sprinkle fairy dust on our wounds.
Anti-maskers are different - they are the politically motivated ones.
More dollops of whiskey.
She was with her daughter and infant granddaughter and was wearing a mask.
She stated “I won’t get the vaccine, do you know what’s in it?”
I said, “I do, and the cigarette smoke you’re willingly inhaling and exposing your daughter and granddaughter to is more dangerous than a vaccine for a world wide pandemic and that’s a proven fact”.
She didn’t buy anything.....
So hard to disassociate with our children no matter what, it’s a bond like no other. My advice is to breathe deeply and take things a day at a time.....
your escalation yet. It'll break my heart if it gets there... I have so much empathy for you
particularly close, immediate family, such as your kids, parents, etc. Have another shot, and get some rest. Sometimes there is just nothing you can do to make it better -- at least right now in the heat of battle. Likely it will heal with a little time.
Our family is having the same issue with my grown nephew. He's well educated, a wonderful person overall, and out of nowhere he's decided mask wearing is a violation of his rights and he doesn't want to get vaccinated. It's frustrating.
I hope things will improve soon.
