My 38 yr old boyfriend won’t take it because he heard it gives you three years to live and affects spermcount 🙄. I told him I already took it and I’m the love of his life so he’ll die from a broken heart when I die in 3 years anyways 🤣 Thankfully, our circle is small so I just go without him when I need to. Cannot be bothered to argue right now.

I don’t argue with people refusing the vaccine right now because almost everyone I know that’s been hesitant initially, myself included, have all come around and gotten it. Passing snide comments and badgering them don’t work.
Go to these events by yourself. Let him sit at home and enjoy all the freedom not listening to experts has brought him.
This is my life with my wife, but over kids in school. We are sending our five year old to private school so the governor can't close down school on is, because he doesn't have to wear a mask in school and because there is no plexiglass barriers in the private school. The barriers make her upset, she thinks the kids are being tested like they are animals...
And I'm just tired of fighting, kids don't care about masks if you don't make it a big deal. Her Facebook posts have already led to me having a falling out with one of my sisters.

I like a good conspiracy as much as the next guy but I'm pretty sure interest in a theory doesn't provide any actual protection/immunity.
My mother is the exact same age and type 2 diabetic. She got COVID this year in March and spent 13 days in the hospital, and an additional 10 days on oxygen support at home. The medication and COVID messed with her blood glucose levels so bad she had to take insulin shots daily. Further, her levels returned back to normal after 4 months of medication. Please ask him to take this seriously.
Unfortunately when you’re dealing with someone who has been radicalized, there is no reasoning at this level. If you’re not vaccinated at this point, you would rather lose everything because you have been convinced the solution everyone is pushing is propaganda and poison.
Pro
Is he being treated by a doctor he trusts? Maybe you can ask him to have an annual physical, without mentioning the vaccine, and hopefully the doctor will explain his personal risk.

Yeah, this goes deeper. He’s not attached to reality/is in denial. Untreated diabetes is a bad, bad thing. Dump them, you don’t want to be taking care of them in old age with disabilities they could have previous with a little daily metformin.
