Friends, co-workers and relatives are asking each other one tricky question: Are you vaccinated?of Covid-19 surges, asking about vaccination status has taken on new urgency—and complexity. The question can damage personal and professional relationships if not handled carefully.

“It’s such a simple question, but it’s so fraught,” says Marissa King, a professor of organizational behavior at the Yale School of Management and author of “Social Chemistry: Decoding the Patterns of Human Connection.” People tend to avoid contentious topics in order to preserve networks and relationships, she says. “We don’t know how to have these conversations in a way that can be productive.”

About half of all Americans are fully vaccinated, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, leaving plenty of room for mixed-status groups at parties, play dates and office meetings. While vaccinated people are far less likely to experience severe illness or death, it is still possible for them

Mandated, too young or poor to live without a job! Hitler would be so proud of the mandates and blaming one group unvaccinated for the poor employment report.

I’m just flat out asking. This is a pandemic. Anyone who gets angry with me not wanting to DIE OF THE FUCKING RONA is not someone I want a relationship with, so good riddance to the whiny entitled plague rodentia.

*Within 5 months. And it's only around 66% effective after 3 months. This will probably get old.

Better to ask “why aren’t you vaccinated?, you dummy!”

The question is: “Am I vaccinated?” If the answer is yes… then another person’s vaccination status literally does NOT affect you.

I say no . Vaccines fall under procedures and treatments. You wouldnt ask peoples medical records nor would one give freely. Theres a reason HIPPA exist. Theres a reason cdc wont stand behind mandate . Even on website.. they know it goes against HIPPA

Fuck that question. Don’t ask it. Let me be clear….vax people CANNOT get Covid from unvaxed people. No way. No how.

Is asking if your vaccinated a micro-aggression? 🤔

What do you care? If you are vaccinated, why do you need to ask?

I do not see the problem. Ask the question and if the answer is no ... Well, you can meet somewhere outside and keep the table between you.

If you’ve been vaccinated why would you care if anyone else has?

Here’s how to ask: Are you vaccinated? No?! Then get lost!

It’s not a problem for me. A person’s response to being asked their vaccination status will tell you everything you need to know about them. If it’s anger, denial, or lies, you no longer have to respect that person and can safely ignore their opinions!

In Europe most of people are proud to be vaccinated and to show the green pass.

A golden tip for dealing calmly with anti-vaxxers: “… She has honed the skill by listening to news channels she doesn’t agree with.”

Just ask who won the last election…

Step one: Don't

pretty simple...dont ask

Rejecting a vaccine for political reasons is antisocial behavior and eventually society will start to return the favor.

Fox should stop attacking the vaccines and telling people to take livestock deworming pills

what the fuck do i care if it damages relationships w ppl who think vaccines are bullshit

An engulfing selfishness that puts the lives of my friends and family at risk also may harm relationships.

Bullshit. Shun the unvaccinated. That’s all.

Let's face it: those relationships were not Sparking Joy to begin with, and clearing them out is probably for the best.

Tired of having our society tip toeing around the most unreasonable people.

Dear , People are dying because of selfish, willful ignorance, & you’re worried about damaging relationships by asking if one is vaccinated? You know what really damages relationships? Unnecessary & untimely death. Pussyfooting around with a deadly virus kills. Do better.

It should damage relationships. Fuck them

So vaccinated people have to be the polite ones? F that.

Darwin Law says if you don't adapt, you shouldn't breed either.🤦‍♀️ Besides,it's usually the unvaccinated wearing the 🔩 your feelings Tshirts, so stop coddling them.

FU*K THEIR FEELINGS!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I've did my part, if you remain unvaccinated your literally the source of death and destruction.

The answer ends relationships. The gulf is too big to conquer

Why do I need to care about those who don't give a fuck about anyone but themselves What a joke.

I refuse to tiptoe around the question it should be mandatory in order to work , you can be in my presence once your vaccinated, I put my life on the line for America for 20yrs in the usaf, do this simple act of responsibility

Just get the shot Karen

“Are you vaccinated”? Solved it for you.

No. This is ridiculous garbage philosophy

The only people who are getting all worked up are people who were gleeful every single time TFG was a rude and cruel jerk. So, they can pound sand.

If they choose not to get vaccinated, then they are choosing to damage the relationship. It’s 100% on them.

No it is a personal choice and as you are finding out the vaccinated people are still getting covid and sick.

People are having guns pointed at their heads for wearing masks. Health experts are being harassed, threatened, and attacked. People have been killed for asking other to wear masks. And we’re supposed to coddle these people to our graves.

Not interested in not damaging relationships with people who can but refuse to get vaccinated.

vaccinationstatus shouldn't be asked period. Discrimination is becoming rampet that it seems to be the norm now. One personal choice is just that, a choice

I will ask you back and your recent blood works as well

Half of the co-workers at my office refuse to get vaccinated. I give them all shit almost daily but with humor, sarcasm and a smile. “Fuck their feelings” I say!

Of course you can ask. Not being vaccinated is a personal choice that can have a disastrous impact on other people. If someone declines to answer, they are probably not vaccinated.

This is stupid. You're either vaccinated or get out of my face

Just so you know, I couldn’t care less about the feelings of selfish people who choose not to get vaccinated at a time when there are kids in ICUs and pediatric hospitals. I do not plan to be “careful” about any of this. These folks are welcome to leave any circle I’m in.

It only damages those who are unvaccinated. Those of us who are vaccinated are done with those who medically CAN get a vaccine but choose not to.

This piece is centered on protecting the feelings of people who are unvaccinated by choice. That is precisely the opposite of what we should be doing.

Anyone offended by the question isn't worth being in close proximity to anyway, whatever their status. Yes, that includes family who should at least understand *why* you're asking.

Only in Murica 🤡🇺🇸 We are normal in other countries

Delete your account, seriously

Shut the entire hell up

46% of Ireland's hospitalized have been fully vaccinated with two doses of the COVID inoculation.

This is not a complex, nuanced, multi-faceted topic. It’s ridiculous to pretend it is.

You know what damages personal and professional relationships? Being a transmission vector for deadly disease, when you could easily have chosen *not* to be.

Are you a horrible person that isn't willing to take on a tiny risk to help your neighbors and America? The question can damage personal and professional relationships if not handled carefully. Here’s how to ask at work, with friends and with family.

Do you have any sexually transmitted disease? How is your cholesterol? What about your liver function? And some mental disorder?

The real question is, is all the White House staff vaccinated? And if it, why aren’t they?

It’s not complicated. Most vaccinated people are perfectly happy to tell you. They aren’t ashamed of it. If they hesitate to tell you, it’s a red flag. This isn’t that mysterious

Seems like strict vaccine mandates would solve this situation

This is just anti-vax pandering bullshit. If you’re unvaxxed you are a health hazard to others, particularly the vulnerable who cannot get vaccinated. Get vaccinated or deal with the stigmatization of being a selfish, irresponsible moron.

We’re inching ever closer to “if you’re unvaccinated, fuck you” territory. And I’m good with it.

How about a tall glass of Hell No. We've coddled and tolerated these destructive Covidiots long enough.

It's an easy for me. No vax, no relationship. Sometimes the trash takes itself out.

I'm sorry but since my vaccinated self could still possibly carry a viral load that could infect another person, I'm going to make sure my medical providers, anyone who enters my house or anyone I might spend time with indoors is vaccinated. If an antivaxxer gets upset, oh well.

Mind the business that pays youse. Unless you’re an employer you should not be asking if someone’s been vaccinated. Get a life and respect people’s privacy.

We're not gonna tiptoe around the most selfish people in society. They're the ones causing all the problems here, and if they don't like being held accountable for that they can pound rocks.

Why the hell should you say “I know I’m being overly cautious “

If someone does't get vaccinated, does not care about the virus, does not care about others' health, then I say: don't have that relationship and life will be much better.

Here is how to reply to that question: 'It's none of your FU**ING business. My body; my choice.' You're welcome.

If you have to ask at work your employer is failing you

Tired of them. They need to be ostracized.

Do you people know that the virus doesn’t stop you from catching, passing, or dying of covid? Or do you know this and you are still commenting?

Response: 'That's personal, and I want to keep it that way'

EVIL

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤯🤣😂🤣

Simpler assessment: 'Are you a regular viewer of Fox News?'

Segregation one step at a time. Blm failed at this, so we are using vax and unvax as the next phase. And sadly it’s working

am upgraded and are metabolically and immunologicaly fit

Just show them the card

I was so excited to be vaccinated, I just assumed other people were also. Nope. I've stopped assuming and asking. Now I mask up if I'm not sure.

You know what really damages a relationship? Trying to kill someone by not getting vaccinated. That really stings

Why even care to ask? We will all still spread the virus, but only those that chose not to get vaccinated are likely to get seriously ill. Not my problem!

fck all that bullshit. straight answer to a straight up question. 'Ya got ur shot ?'

Liberal: What are your thoughts on not killing old people?…all the while feeling really really good about yourself…almost too good about yourself…almost like your life has meaning now? Conservative: How much do you trust Bill Gates?

Or ask them bluntly and when they say no, walk away in disgust

Are you vaccinated? No? GTFOH. Simple.

Appropriate responses: “Are you sterilized?” “Are you on medication?” “Are you seeing a mental health therapist?”

South Korea’s Disease Control and Prevention Agency said Tuesday that it had recorded at least two cases of the new coronavirus delta plus variant, which some experts believe to be more transmissible than the original delta variant. vaccinated how long is it good for no one know

Answer: Have you been vaccinated?

🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑😷

initial PCR cycle threshold (Ct) values (number of cycles required for virus detection) were similar between the vaccinated and unvaccinated groups, at 19.2 versus 18.8. However, the median Ct value increased more rapidly over time among vaccinated individuals. Efficacy ?

Have you brushed your teeth today Did you take a shower Have you taken your birth control today Have you file your income tax Have you taken your medication today How much do you make Can I see your medical files Have you had a Abortion Oh by the way have you had a Covid shot

Lambda COVID Variant, 1,000 Cases in U.S., Shows Vaccine Resistance Man now what I hear nothing of a vaccine development

Covid shot wasn’t that bad I just hope it’s going to be effective when it’s most important in the fall and winter ? Not sure in 9 months the efficacy. Dam bro I’ll get it in September or October to make sure it’s at 90% effectiveness thanks

My VP told me it was a HIPAA violation to ask anyone. I don't know if he's right.

If it damages my relationship with a friend, then it's just natural selection.

Hahahahaha hahahahaha

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

If you are vaccinated and it works, why do you care so much?

Look how they are putting us against each other through lies. We all can spread this vaccinated or not. So it’s a personal choice but if they keep mandating it’s easy to see what they are up too! Fear spreaders

The answer is don't ask bc it's none of your fucking business in the first place. And if you're unsure then just lock yourself down permanently

Don’t. Get the vaccination for yourself and let other people live their lives.

'We don't know how to have this conversation in a productive way.' - What are some realistic suggestions for maintaining social networks?

Or maybe - Wow, I’m so glad I’m vaccinated. I am not only helping protect myself but I’m showing that I believe in facts and science while still proving that I care about others.

The proper answer is : none of your business

We need to know who thinks the question is a 'HIPAA violation.' 🤣💉 AntiVaxxers

Don't!

Don’t ask. It’s none of your GD business.

Just grow a pair and ask straight out

Me da amsieda que me pregunten eso!
