“While searching Reddit (a cesspit in many ways, and at the same time, a gold mine of relatable stories) for interesting historical posts to tweet, I came across a personal story that will touch nearly all of my readers.

“It begins as a throwback to the past - and it is something many of us lived through. Read to the end, as the ending will surprise you!

“The redditor below, who was an expectant mother two years ago in 2021, decided to cut off her “antivax family.” (archive link) She refused to allow her unvaccinated relatives any contact with the baby, not even photos (help me make it make sense).

While, under certain perverted fiction-based logic, I could see why she would not allow unvaccinated people to come near the baby, Redditor /u/sexandjackalso decided not even to send baby pictures to her unvaccinated parents.

Many other vaccinated pregnant women chimed in in support. They cut off their moms, dads, or siblings for not getting the Covid vaccine.

“Strangely, they blame their relatives and feel “hurt” by the relatives’ irresponsible health choices. The redditor above smugly points out how the relatives are “making a choice and have to deal with consequences.”

“My baby’s health is more important than your feelings, another Redditor quips, seemingly enjoying the anguish of relatives that she is blocking from seeing her baby.j
