How timely!! I couldn’t agree more! Talk about being between a rock and a hard place! I have many dear friends who are on the other side of the vaccine “debate” as me. I try to avoid any COVID talk when we get together but it always comes up. I am happy to say that I have done exactly as you suggested in keeping quiet and just letting them rant and/or I change the subject. It’s getting harder and harder for me to not give them the eye roll or want to grab them by the shoulders and shake them. But my love for them keeps me from acting with any disrespect. Everyone is entitled to their opinion even if I don’t agree with it. They say you shouldn’t talk religion or politics….I say you sure better! I’ve learned a lot over the past 18 months. I’m still on the fence between staying and leaving. One thing for sure is the distance is growing between us.

Also, don't talk about their children! It's dangerous.
Hahaha. Yes!
I hear you. That's a reoccurring theme these days. Sadly, I have lost respect and friendships over this. Good luck to you and thank you for sharing.
