My sister in law is nurse who is anti-Covid vaccine and keeps trying to convince everyone in my family that they shouldn’t get the vaccine. Part of me just wants to tell her off but don’t want to strain my relationship with my wife

Agree- let it go, it makes her look bad. Hopefully your wife doesn’t agree with her as well.

Thankfully my wife doesn’t agree, we both work/have worked in bio pharma research and development and have masters degrees in life sciences so we know the positive effect of these vaccines

I would ask your SIL to stay out of your family’s discussions and business. I would remind SIL she is not a member of your family and she can back the heck away. I would then explain to MY FAMILY the science behind the vaccines and why I understand them to be safe and why I am comfortable taking them.

Personally, I think it's odd that she is interacting with the rest of your family so much that she's offering vaccine advice... Just because you married her sister doesn't make her some trusted part of the inner circle of your own family. If I were in your wife's position, I'd be the one feeling embarrassed that my sibling was going over to my in-laws and spouting nonsense.

My cousin who is a doctor has recommended the same thing to her family. Since it lasts only for 6 months, according to her there is no point. So my aunt and uncle aren't getting vaccinated and are telling everyone not to do so.

Why would a nurse say that?! There are anti vaccine peeps in healthcare too? Why do they even work in healthcare then? Such double standards for every basic task they are performing daily.

Anyone other staff feel like the biggest contributor to stress during busy season isn’t the workload. It’s the lack of support or help while you’re just thrown into the deep end not knowing how to swim? In-charges, especially the newly promoted ones are either hit or miss or they’re way too busy with their own work. I almost feel like I’m ready to quit because no job is worth the mental health sacrifice.
