My father passed away almost 2 years ago. Because of COVIT his cremated remains have not been brought back home for proper burial until now.

There is to be a small gathering of family and a few friends to celibrate his life.

An invitation was sent out requiring everyone to show proof of vaccination or a negative test taken in the last 48 hrs. I don't understand why there is still so much fear over COVIT.
Is this never going to go away?
COVIT like the flu will probably be around forever. Thankfully there are treatments and vaccines for both.

Will I soon be required to show proof of having the flu shot?

I personally find this requirement totally wrong and violates my privacy. This has nothing to do with whether I have or have not been vaccinated.

I have not seen my brother or sister in almost 20 years because we live on other ends of the country. I guess it may be another 20 years before I see them.

Do to this demand by my brother I will not be attending my dad's burial and celebration of life get together. I refuse to be required to show my papers as though I live in Natzi Germany.

Do you feel I'm right or wrong in my decision to not attend?

It's entirely your choice, I am fully vaccinated and I do test regularly, not because of myself but for my daughter鈥檚 sake, she's very young still. As someone else has commented here, it's our body our choice and other illnesses take lives but do not require testing. The flu vaccination can be for the wrong strain, therefore it's not garauteed to protect us and I haven't bothered again this year to have it. So with that in mind, I am potentially risking lives because I haven't had the flu vaccination. 馃檮

@silkydrawers Of course I am! However since before the pandemic, segregating peeps with or without a vaccine was never an issue. I've had it in the past but now I put other peeps before me, those that are clinically vulnerable that have a higher risk of serious implications,plus I'm saving the economy in my country for not having it, especially since of the economic loss. WTF are you to tell me to follow the fucking science when you clearly are not and contradicting your own post. I am evidently keeping my daughter safe for having the vaccine. I never inferred anything about my daughter鈥檚 risk of serious harm if she did indeed catch covid, obviously children are more resilient to it and I never implied they weren't. If I do however and I die, that's hardly very responsible of me is it?! You're not thinking outside of the box. How dare you purport an assumption on how I do/do not deem necessary for my daughter! Because that would be incinuating abuse!! FYI no I do not and even if I had that's an utterly ridiculous notion in itself, seems as governments at the start of the pandemic were in fact advising masks on kids! Come on.... FOLLOW THE SCIENCE!! I actually agreed with you, Hence, 'It's entirely your choice'. Haven't you just made yourself the fool! and I'd be very careful in future before you imply abuse you sick fuck!!
