Dad Doesn't Want to Take COVID Precautions for a Family Wedding
QUESTION: "My father is very upset that a wedding he’s planning to attend is going to require vaccination or a negative COVID test. This wedding is coming up soon, and it’s for his granddaughter. The family wants no outbreaks from this gathering, so they set these parameters for attendance. While my 90 year old father is very high risk, he is refusing COVID vaccination. He is also refusing to be tested. There is no logic that will convince him that vaccination might be in his best interest, and don’t even get me started about testing. He goes into a rant about his rights. We do agree that he has rights, but the right to die is the scariest one for us kids. What do you recommend we do with this situation?" - READER
