Little bit of a rant: I’ve been having trouble over the past year convincing my mom to get the vaccine, culminating in a screaming match today.

Her main reservation is that she is scared of the side effects, even though the rest of our family and her friends have gotten it. She also has some preexisting conditions that would make catching Covid that much worse. Her doctors have also green lit the vaccine. At this point, I don’t know what else to do….

I have 7 years of experience working with big pharma companies. I am used to communicating nicely, politely, respectfully. The same way I want to be treated. No issues.
