Americans are creating their own vaccine mandates by cutting ties with the unvaccinated

Americans are creating their own COVID-19 vaccine mandates.

According to new data from The Harris Poll, at least 30% of Millennials or Gen Zers in the U.S. say they have cut ties with a friend, family member or acquaintance because they wouldn’t get the COVID-19 vaccine.

The poll, which was provided first to Axios, surveyed 1,334 U.S. adults in August 2021, and categorized them by generation.

The poll shows that 33% of millennials say they have cuts ties with somebody in their life over not getting vaccinated against COVID-19, compared with 30% of Gen Zers, 9% of Gen Xers and 7% of baby boomers.

Three people we know, one a hardcore liberal, aren't getting vaxxed.
I've told them to stay away until they regain their senses.

Let family and friends know only the vaccinated are welcome to attend.

Currently awaiting blowback from one christofascist uncle!

I won't hang out with/do business with unvaccinated people. I'm on the board of a singing group, and we decided everybody had to be vaccinated to sing with us. So, one of the singers quit because she refused to be vaccinated (she's a pro-lifer and I'm guessing she thinks the vaccines are made out of aborted fetuses). We didn't even try to get her to change her mind; I don't want to have anything to do with irresponsible people who are willing to endanger others as well as themselves because they have some cockamamie notion about vaccination, and I don't care what their reasons are unless those reasons are legitimately medical. I'm just tired of dealing with dangerously stupid people.
