    Do you all wanna know how we got my 80-year-old+ nonna vaccinated despite hesitancy to do it because every person in Florida has lost their fucking mind? We told her she would have to get vaccinated or she couldn't meet the baby.

    She arrived in our city and my mom took her to the vaccination site to get her first dose.

    This woman survived, WWII, raising 2 kids as a single mom, riots and uprisings in Venezuela, and colon cancer yet nobody ever drove her to a vaccination site in Florida. She is a saint and I love her so much. Her neighbors were feeding her bullshit about severe side effects. But all it took was my mom driving her to the site, and threatening to withhold the baby from her.

    Liz Bruenig can't even be bothered to fully convince her uncle, whom she calls a kind, fair and honest man, to get a single vaccine shot.
