That’s tough. You will be fine but she’s holding a super spreader event intentionally. I wouldn’t go.
Love how EY2 and EY4 both flip this on it’s head making the OP the bad person and not being a true friend. That is right out of the playbook for one side of this argument.
It is sad that there are so many people out there who think like this.
Love the comments to end friendship based on the vaccination status.
Lol the vaccine doesnt stop the spread of covid, and these people want to target them for bad values. Lololololol. I would be happy to end my relationship with anyone forcing a vaccine- your IQ levels would be too low for me.
Based on a UK government analysis on all known Covid Variants (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/993879/Variants_of_Concern_VOC_Technical_Briefing_15.pdf) [please open in external browser, fishbowl embedded vrowser doesn't seem to open pdf] , Delta, despite being the second most widespread variant has a case fatality of just 0.1% (data corrected for vaccinations) , which puts this variant on par with common flu (Table at Page 11 of the aforementioned paper).
I'm pro vaccine, but media are terrorizing and doing some misinformation ( for good reasons tho, maybe) to push vaccinations with no real basis.
Some researcher is stating Delta is kind of a vaccine itself.
For this reason, actually i won't get the jab even if I'm pro vax. But given the risks at my age and no known long term issues related to mrna vaccine (it is fresh research that science waa wrong and mRNA CAN change the DNA under some circumstances) i prefer to wait and see.
@A1 - why don't you get the J&J one which is a traditional vaccine, not mRNA?
Given the couple have shown how little they care about their guests, don’t be overly concerned about the couple’s feelings if you choose to decline to attend.
No one cares. A lot of people here have never been through adversity. This is why they are hiding in their homes from something that isn’t even THAT bad, truth be told.
The vaccine will not stop the pandemic. Nothing will.
It’s already spread too much for it to be contained.
You have three options:
1. Get covid, survive, and develop antibodies
2. Get the vaccine, survive, and develop antibodies
3. Lock yourself in your home/apartment and get everything delivered to your doorstep, losing out on your mental health and relationships.
I gave it a chance in the first year- no more from me. Life is short, do what you think is right.
Do not pull out of the wedding. You will be fine.

At this point, the unvaxed are the only ones dying/getting really sick, so I’d go. If you do get sick, you’ll be ok, if they get sick 🤷🏼. It’s not like the early days where you’d have the guilt of visiting old people and potentially bringing the virus and harming them.
Now it’s on them 💯.
Not true
I would pull out. They should get vaccinated and they should care for the health and safety of their guests. Cases are no longer decreasing in the US cus of delta and are in fact going up very quickly, and this wedding sounds like a recipe for disaster
The comments are quite aggressive. I would ask if you are going to a gym and returning to normal life in your personal life? If so, I don’t see how you feel that this event would cause your shot to not protect you in this environment. I’m seeing a bit of flawed logic. You can distance yourself and decide not to dance or whatever, but I think it’s up to the individual to make their own decisions and risks. My brothers coworker died after getting the vaccine. So vaccine hesitancy is also real and normal, people making it seem as though it is a no brainer, that was your choice. Personally I am vaccinated but I do not think ending friendships with others based on vaccine status does anything but show your own inability to see other perspectives.
Correlation != Causation
Up until today, I’d say suck it up and go support your friend like many of these commenters.
However, a close friend of mine died this morning from the Delta Variant. He was vaccinated and wore a mask, it was a tortuous journey for him and his family but at least he is at peace.
All this to say, you have every right to be upset by this being hidden. Is there a way you can participate and feel safe? What precautions would you need to take to feel safe? Would this be considered an undue burden on your friend’s wedding?
Alternatively, if you feel there’s no way you can attend the wedding and feel safe and still want to save the friendship, you will have to find a reason to back out. Have you vocalized anything publicly to your friend about this? If not, you can always “get sick and self-quarantine as you await test results” conveniently before the wedding.

D15 - 4 BILLION people around the world have gotten “the jab.” The whole “it’s experimental” argument just doesn’t fly. The J&J vaccine uses adenovirus vector technology, which has been around for ages. The mRNA technology used by Moderna and Pfizer has been in development for nearly 20 years. The only reason you haven’t yet had an mRNA vaccine before is because the Ebola epidemic never became a real threat due to the way it spreads (but an mRNA vaccine for it was developed, tested, and proven effective and safe).
Say you can’t go with reason, but no lectures. Acknowledge your differences, be polite but that you are doing it for everyone you love. Send a gift. Then do something nice for yourself and your loves. You will feel much better about yourself and not make yourself sick over the stress. Don’t keep hashing it out in your brain.
Update: the unvaxed pregnant woman at the wedding is on a vent in the hospital. She’s 31. If she doesn’t make it, they’ll deliver the baby premature. So going to reiterate not going to this thing.
Oh god that’s so sad and scary. Really sorry to hear that.
Agree on not going to events where you’re not certain of everyone’s vaccination status. I’m rethinking a couple of weddings this year because of this.
Aren't you vaccinated? If yes, why do you care? It's clear the vaccines protect against Delta too, what is your concern???
Except when they don’t.
If you are vaccinated you should be safe. They clearly are not worried about catching it, which is their decision. I believe it is best to look out for you and your loved ones. If you are vaxxed and love them show up because you want to. Don't skip their wedding just to make a point
Make a point? Is that what this is to you A2?How about staying safe and stopping the spread. “Should be safe” is what most have said. Before they get sick or infect their loved ones. Lots of people coming out saying how much regret they have that they were against the vaccine, got sick and suffered. Don’t be them.
She didn't hide anything. Its no one's business. You are vaccinated cool, but you can't get mad at people around you if they are not. You are crazy if you think she is going to card people at the door of her wedding to find out they are vaccinated. Why did u agree to be in the wedding in the first place if you are so scared about covid? Also, isn't this the exact reason you are vaccinated, to protect yourself?
D1, ok but that is not a public event. She could have decided to avoid the vax for several reasons. Just don't go.
And yes, i get what you mean, utopic but I agree, but believe me, my brother is a doctor and yes, most people get vaccinated out of fear.
Before their feeling of belonging, almost everyone is an individual with egoistic tendencies. Not their fault, we are just humans, being too rational equals being meaningless.
I would absolutely pull out (prob wouldn’t have agreed in first place but I’ve been super cautious) I also know at least 4 fully vaccinated people who have tested positive, 2 were symptomatic and one ended up in hospital…. So no, not risking it
So the vaccine isn’t working ?
Yes as a general rule you should always *pull out*
Wow. I had thought ppl in accounting were smarter than these comments show. Look at the numbers. It’s not that difficult. GET YOUR SHOT!
If they were good with numbers they wouldn’t be working in accounting lol. They’d be quants or engineers.
But the point stands, get your shot

I would not attend that wedding and make it known that you don’t feel safe doing so. Personally, it is hard to be friends with such people who are going to deny science and vaccines.

@EY10, i don’t follow very well where you are going with this but i agree that the vaccine is definitely safer. The main argument here is about attending the wedding of a friend who refuses to take the vaccine and says god will save them and then having a wedding with people on top of it which is unethical. My argument with A2 in comments above is about the questioning of medical science without being an expert at it.
Kobe Bryant is rolling over in his grave at how soft you all are saying to end the friendship.
What a soft and sensitive society we live in.
If the sacred mask and vaccines work - then you should be good
Go for the ceremony - which is the part that should matter to anyone getting married and talk to the bride about how you are struggling with being around around a crowd (ie: reception). Support your friend while also avoiding the more risky part of the day
As a stranger on the internet I would totally stand up for my morales and do the hard thing.
As a human being, I would never miss a good friends wedding because I disagreed with their choices, or was worried about getting sick
Amen
