Haven't spoken to my father in almost a week

The last few months have been conversation after conversation about me not being vaccinated. It started with advice, then went to pleading and finally became outright bullying and anger. He was so angry the other day when he called that my niece and nephew (who were in the backseat) were worried about him. Facts, logic and statements about political liberty and individual autonomy do not work. I politely told him that we would not be speaking anymore unless his attitude and tone changed and I haven't heard from him since.
The moral of the story is: Covid is a religious cult. It has turned loving friends and family members into paranoid lunatics, who seem giddy to excommunicate anyone who doesn't share their fear. We are never going back to what it was like prior to March 2020. Too many people have been brainwashed to such a degree that we will never be the same.

We have democratically elected (ostensibly) officials who are downright ecstatic about situations like this.

I always read these stories here about people's brother or dad being insane lefties or Covidians. I'd never let my brother or dad get like that. I'd whip them straight. Thankfully all my immediate male relatives are also politically aligned with me.

My brother-in-law (a liberal university professor) hasn't seen his parents in almost 2 years. They're all triple vaccinated, PLUS his parents have recently had covid on top of that, so, presumably have actual immunity. It's not good enough.
"Maybe I'll see you for New Year" turned into "Maybe February." I point blank told my MIL that he's just going to keep kicking the can further and further and further until eventually he'll never see them again.

It's not worth risking your life taking the vaccine to have a relationship with your father

How old are you?
I’m 52 and my mom would “really like for me” to get the shot. I told her I see and my HCP sees zero reason at this point.
That was actually maybe over the summer and now knowing what we knkw she may feel different. I haven’t asked.

Also this is what “they” want.
Division. The more the better in their eyes.

Freedom for an individual to seek their own health care.
Be cool not worth hate in a family over a Chyna virus.

Very true. And even now, no matter how tame the symptoms and outcomes attributed to Covid have now become, normally reasonable people still shudder with fear as if they’re seeing people collapsing in the streets like the original fear porn videos from Wuhan tried to depict.

Will be 37 in a few weeks. I'm as slim as I have been since high school (lost 100 lbs the last 5 years). No longer drink or do drugs as I've been sober for some time. I exercise every day and my last numbers when I was at my primary doctor were all good. I don't eat as well as I could, but that's about it.

So you would physically assault your father?
Nice

COVID is literally nothing more than a bunch of older people who make most of the decisions for our country and occupy most of the positions of influence forcing the younger population to comply because they’re scared. Hey look if I was 65+ maybe I’d get the vaccine too but I sure as shite wouldn’t be trying to force my son or my employees to. People are crazy.

Sounds like you opted for the excommunication.

Would you allow yourself to be subjected to being yelled and screamed at for a personal decision? Would you not want that person to treat you with a modicum of dignity and respect? If they refused to do that, isn't it their fault as to why you no longer speak?

Didn't talk to my dad for almost a year because he was brainwashed into being a miltinat leftist even though he got precisely zero benefit from being that way. Luckily he snapped out of it.
I hate what modern media has turned society into. Missing almost ayear with family over something so stupid

Seems extreme on both parts.
Makes me wonder if there is more to the story. No way would either of my parents do this, vax or no vax.
You mentioned drug use. Could there be hard feelings from the past? Just brainstorming.
I think I’d just lie if it meant that much to him. Tell him you got it and be done. Obviously not the best idea but family is first

Yup.
Don't get me wrong, I love my mother very much but she really needs to stop acting like a medical expert. She took a lab tech course a long time ago and anytime a virus makes the news she goes into full on paranoia mode. She was paranoid about Zika when you stood better chance of being struck by lightning and winning the Powerball at the same time than being infected. Never worked in a lab, never did any medical work or laboratory work professionally.
So you can imagine when COVID-19 hit US shores, this has been my own personal nightmare. I'm at the point that I'm done talking about covid. I hate hearing about it. I couldn't care less weather you want the jab or not. For the longest time nearly every conversation went on about some bullshite article she read or some nonsense she saw on CNN. After an argument before thanksgiving later on I set an ultimatum. That's it, no more covid talk. I don't want to hear about it, talk about it. Not ignoring it, I get enough shite about covid from so many other sources I don't need a conversation to go from about my son's birthday to an inquisition about my children's vaccination status which is none of her damn business anyways.
It's emotionally and mentally exhausting. I don't care, if people won't shut the frick up about it, I just block them from life. I'm just done with it all.
It's a damn cult. Mostly of people using the opportunity to show how "smart" they are....if your definition of smart is watching the idiot box and nodding your head mindlessly saying "yup, I'll have more of that".

I was a raging cokehead until about 5.5 years ago. I was a hothead and a pretty big piece of shite. It isn't that imo. We had a great relationship again before Covid. Hell even through Covid until the vaccines came out.
