Same type of situation for me. Only the invitee knew we were not vaccinated (but Covid recovered). They also knew my husband was advised by VA doctor not to get the shot because he had anaphylactic reactions to meds in the past. About two days before the party, which was to take place on New Years Day, I got a text from the host saying that we were the only people at the party not vaccinated, and would we mind each taking a Covid tests that Walgreens was selling for 10.00 each before we came to their party? I said that we would not be attending.
Oh I got that "will you take a test" thing too. I said no and that I'm not going to a party where people are scared of me. I'm not a virus factory, I'm not sick, and I can't make anyone sick and I don't want to feel those negative vibes anyway.
Then I responded to the wife specifically and said that I knew this wasn't coming from her, that she is always a rational person, and I thanked her for being such. She responded well to that and I felt like I made some headway with her.
It's all so disappointing, but there are still subtle ways we can talk to people. Little breadcrumbs to guide them.
