I’m in an upcoming wedding and just found out the bride and groom aren’t vaccinated nor do they plan to. Do I pull out of the wedding?

Most of the invitees won’t be either I’m guessing and masks are optional. I’m vaccinated and in the bridal party but I’m really nervous with the Delta variant. I want to be supportive but she hid this from everyone until now.

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.

You’ll end up the lone survivor 😂

They should have shared they weren’t vaccinated that way all these idiots crying about someone not disclosing their medical choices don’t have to go. Save some money there easily

Yes, if their medical decisions are so important to you that you’d consider not celebrating their wedding, you shouldn’t be there.

Why would you want to be around those “people”? Duterte said it right …

If you are vaccinated then you should have nothing to worry about ? Provided you believe the vaccine actually works

C8 -
With the greatest respect, genuinely, I suggest maybe making contact with either an epidemiological scientist or infectious diseases expert to better explain.

There's far too much info for me to put in a comment here. Like hundreds of years of vaccine science and theory.

Maybe you're really asking or maybe having a go at me lol, can't tell through online written word but I stand by what I said after doing research into both camps 🙂

If you do not feel comfortable attending, it is best to let your friend know soon so that she can find another bridesmaid.

This is very hard. If you pull out of the wedding and explain your concerns without preaching, will your friend accept it without judgement or damaging the friendship? Start there or just have a chat with her and tell her how you are feeling. Don’t forget to tell her you are worried about her. No reason to go down the rabbit hole on Covid stas and vaccine safety. You made your choice and she made hers. Weddings are emotional affairs and as a former bride, logic sometimes go out the window. You think only of yourself and think you are queen for a day. When I got married, I said no babies and arranged a room with a babysitter. But still a few friends did not come. Also very good friend did not come to my wedding because she lived on the west coast and just did not have the money to make the trip. She sent an incredible gift and we continue to be super close friends. A good friendship can’t be broken. Your friend will remember her wedding as the best day of her life whether you are part of it or not.

Have you already told her, that you don't like the situation? What's about testing everybody up in front, then there is no vaccine discussion necessary.

The Liberal media in the US writes so many scary stories about breakthrough events.

The PTown breakthrough event happened during Bear 🐻 week in PTown. 87% of the infected were men.

Spoiler alert, gay men kiss when having sex. Viral load among other loads is transmitted when having sex.

The chances of a vaxxed person getting anything more than a sore throat from covid are low.

Would you have not gone because they didn't get their flu shots? Has everyone there got their MMR?

Continuing on the analysis of the PTown data set. 30+% of rhe infected / breakthrough cases were in HIV+ individuals. The immunocompromised

Yes you should

Well it's all up to you then. Wear a hazmat suit or stay at home. You can't stop this madness but you can choose your life over madness. There is a reason they call these superspreader events. Like a plague...

Wow

Are you vaccinated? You ought to be okay then but I see how it’s annoying

When fully vaxed people are reported as getting covid, they are not including those that have received the shot in the past 10 days. By definition fully vaccinated individuals are those that received the shot (J&J) or 2nd shot 14 days prior. Someone that received it 9 days ago is not fully vaccinated. Additionally the patent office does bot determine what is and isn’t a vaccine. The patent waiver has nothing to do with the covid vaccines’ effectiveness and everything to do with allowing other companies and countries to produce it without violating patent laws. Do better.

I sure as hell wouldn't go. It's not lying. She's putting everyone at risk. Does she know which guests are immunocompromised?
