On TheCutPodcast, ascentofjazmin talks with angelinachapin and LuxAlptraum about dealing with the anti-vaxxers that are in our lives

Lux Alptraum shares how she broke up with her longtime personal trainer over the issue. Then, the Cut’s Angelina Chapin tells the story of one woman whose parents picked their anti-vaxx ideology over going to their daughter’s wedding.
At one point, I was dating somebody, and it was their birthday, and I gave them a session with him for their birthday. So then he knew my partner at that time. He would tell me some stuff about his personal life. He told me about when he got married and I was like, Okay, you’re telling me this, I’m just going to listen to it.
But there was one day when he comes and he’s like, “You know what? I’ve decided there are three topics I’m not talking to people about: religion, politics, and COVID-19.” He sorta laughs at this but then proceeds to tell me about how he’s suspicious of the vaccines and how he doesn’t need to take the vaccine because he’s so healthy and he never gets sick. And then there would be mentions of conspiracy.
LUX: He would often phrase it as, like, Can’t we all just get along like you do your thing and I do my thing. He was framing it as this personal thing that was sort of like, I’m not going to tell you what to do so you shouldn’t tell me what to do, except that what he does, his choices, implicitly affect other people.
“Hey, I’m sorry, I’ve been out of touch. I’ve had some things come up. I need to put training on hold for a little bit, but I’ll be in touch when I can start up again.” JAZMIN: This tweet went viral and that’s when Angelina realized that going into wedding season, this kind of vaccine showdown was going to affect a lot of families and communities, so she started calling around. And as a note, the interviews you are about to hear are a little bit grainy and we have changed the names and identifying information of the folks featured … well because these stories are very personal and also very difficult situations.
ANGELINA: So I found Amy. She is a 30-year-old Canadian lawyer who at the time, was getting married in September, and leading up to her wedding, she was stressed because she knew that the most important people in her life didn’t want to be vaccinated. It was really important to her that everybody at the wedding was, so she was in for a huge uphill battle.
AMY: Our wedding is this expression of our ideals and values as a couple, so it felt inconsistent with who we are to not take steps to make sure that everyone was safe. Especially since we did a lot of thinking through the worst-case scenario and how we would feel if someone caught COVID at our wedding and it would ruin the event, at least for me.
