Thus, we see yet another article following in the footsteps of the two I examined earlier in my posts, <a href=\"https:\/\/expatkaliningrad.com\/ru\/the-liberal-solution-to-anti-vaxxers\/\">The Liberal Solution to Anti-vaxxers<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/expatkaliningrad.com\/ru\/dont-let-that-man-spoil-your-vaccinated-christmas\/\">Don\u2019t let that man spoil your vaccinated Christmas!<\/a>, titled \u2018How to deal with unvaccinated family members at Christmas\u2019<sup>1<\/sup> from <em>The Independent<\/em> (Independent my arse! Who said that?).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">In order to level the playing field a little, I thought it only fair that consideration should be given to the conundrum of how to deal with an unwanted guest from the point of view of an unvaccinated family, whose only wish is to spend a normal family Christmas free from the constraints and self-righteous sermonising that so often is par for the course with the uneasy vaccinated.&nbsp; I make no apology for wedding the vaccinated example in my \u2018How to deal with \u2026\u2019 version to a specific ideology as, from what I hear, see, read and experience, it is generally people of this persuasion who are the most vocal, vociferous and intransigently bigoted and, therefore unsurprisingly, the most obsessed and controlling. It is what fear does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"625\" height=\"772\" data-attachment-id=\"5303\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/expatkaliningrad.com\/ru\/how-to-deal-with-a-vaccinated-liberal-family-member-at-christmas\/vaccinated-bear-standing-in-snow-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Vaccinated-Bear-standing-in-snow-1.png?fit=1022%2C1262&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1022,1262\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Vaccinated-Bear-standing-in-snow-1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Vaccinated-Bear-standing-in-snow-1.png?fit=243%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Vaccinated-Bear-standing-in-snow-1.png?fit=625%2C772&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Vaccinated-Bear-standing-in-snow-1.png?resize=625%2C772&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5303\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Vaccinated-Bear-standing-in-snow-1.png?resize=829%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 829w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Vaccinated-Bear-standing-in-snow-1.png?resize=243%2C300&amp;ssl=1 243w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Vaccinated-Bear-standing-in-snow-1.png?resize=768%2C948&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Vaccinated-Bear-standing-in-snow-1.png?resize=624%2C771&amp;ssl=1 624w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Vaccinated-Bear-standing-in-snow-1.png?resize=19%2C24&amp;ssl=1 19w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Vaccinated-Bear-standing-in-snow-1.png?resize=29%2C36&amp;ssl=1 29w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Vaccinated-Bear-standing-in-snow-1.png?resize=39%2C48&amp;ssl=1 39w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Vaccinated-Bear-standing-in-snow-1.png?w=1022&amp;ssl=1 1022w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to deal with a vaccinated liberal family member at Christmas<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap has-medium-font-size\">Christmas comes but once a year and with it that old chestnut of yet another coronavirus variant. Last Christmas it was just plain old Covid-19, but for Christmas 2021 it\u2019s been given a jolly name, Omicron, known by its friends as Moronic, and news of its alarming rate of transmission, dramatic and sensationalised, is continuing to spread rapidly around the UK, thanks to the UK media. Bad news sells, folks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">A figure pulled out of nowhere claims that more than a million people will ruin their Christmases by subjecting themselves to self-isolation, which is good news for lonely guys who will not feel half as embarrassed sitting at home with the budgerigar, a meal for one, no children, as the courts gave custody to the wife, whilst spending Christmas in a rented flat as the wife got the family home. It&#8217;s called equality ~ of the liberal kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Never mind, they can always console themselves with a daily dose of Coronavirus statistics. Friday 17 December was an important day in the coronavirus statistic watchers\u2019 calendar. On this day, so the media solemnly swears, there was more coronavirus infections than on any other: 93,000 (so they tell us!). But take heart, rumour has it that two pricks of Pharter\u2019s Covid-19 vaccine offer a whopping great 70 per cent protection against whistling off to hospital, and a man who plays Bingo, and knows all about numbers, has said that it also gives 33 per cent protection against getting it. But he\u2019s a lonely guy who works for a liberal newspaper, so he probably doesn\u2019t get it, or get it very often, and even if he did get it, it would most likely be in a place where most of us would not want it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">And it really wouldn\u2019t be a Coronavirus Christmas without mentioning boosters, so let it be known that \u2018early tests\u2019 indicate ~ and let\u2019s face it, everything about the vaccine is an \u2018early test\u2019 (too early) ~ that yet another Pharter\u2019s prick, a booster, may be all that\u2019s needed to convince omicron to sling its hook and go and look for a less polluted body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">In the meantime, you could not do any worse than click on the government website, where it is suggested that getting fully vaccinated is the best way of protecting yourself from continual harassment about getting vaccinated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Funnily enough, not everybody is buying it. It was written on a fag packet that one-third of Londoninstaners (\u2018Oh, maybe it\u2019s because they\u2019re not Londoners \u2026\u2019) were sticking two fingers up at all of it and adopting an attitude of, \u2018Well, you can F!*K Right Off!\u2019. But this hasn\u2019t stopped the boats coming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Nevertheless, the chances are that when families get together this Christmas, with no intention of self-isolating ~ who is going to miss out on all that free grub and booze ~ some of them might be vaccinated! There is also the possibility that some of them might be liberal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">This could be a cause for real concern, since, according to what everyone knows, mixing with vaccinated liberals means that you\u2019re 20 times more likely to be subject to ranting, raving, frothing at the mouth and scenes of toy-throwing hyperventilation than you are of catching coronavirus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">But how do you tactfully approach the subject with family members that have this misfortune? And what if they, the vaccinated, are suffering from the delusion that you are willing to let them doss at your home over Christmas? &nbsp;And is there the slightest possibility of avoiding boring conversations about coronavirus bullshit when you know full well that even an unvaccinated liberal (if there is such a thing) can never resist bringing his, her or its, <em>Guardian<\/em>-inspired nonsense into the house, even when you have asked them to wipe their boots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Dealing  with a vaccinated liberal family member at Christmas<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">A man who always wanted to be a counsellor (he\u2019s liberal) but didn\u2019t know how to spell it so ended up a councillor instead, came out with the best understatement that anyone has heard since Waddington\u2019s invented the family game <em>Rowopoly, <\/em>namely that Christmas can be a stressful time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u201cConsidering that last year we were all lucky not to spend Christmas together,\u201d said this man, \u201cthe usual family rows that we would have had may well have been simmering for a good twelve months. Add to the toxic mix a family member, or two, who are vaccine control freaks and readers of <em>The Independent<\/em> and someone could well end up flying across the festive table. Being aware of this, and coming prepared with a first aid kit and, if you live in London, a stab vest or two, could be prudent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The man, whom everyone is rather glad is not a family member, for if he was coming for Christmas dinner he would be the first to have his head pushed into the trifle, went on to counsel that the issue of vaccinations will certainly come up if one or more of your vaccinated family is a liberal, as they won\u2019t be able to keep their gobs shut ~ do they ever!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Not wanting to make us any more neurotic than we are at present, thanks to endless twaddle about coronavirus, the man, who would do better keeping his pseudo-psychology to himself, suggested that the best thing we could do to prepare ourselves for a heated Christmas row was to practice what it was we were going to say to the vaccinated lefty and get the boot in first. A beginner\u2019s course in martial arse would be advisable, which you will not be able to take without a vaccination passport. The prickless will just have to rely on the way they usually deal with conflict, which might mean falling back on those stress-relieving breathing exercises or, alternatively, unwrapping that baseball bat Christmas present ahead of the festivities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Asking yourself questions like, \u201cHow do I usually approach conflict? What triggers my anger more than anything else?\u201d won\u2019t help any if the answer is a self-righteous vaccinated lefty, but at least you could say so, later, in court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">In the last and honest analysis, heated discussions have the unfortunate habit of breaking out when they want to, so nothing that you do to prevent one from happening will work, especially after you\u2019ve stuffed yourself with mounds of grub, knocked back several G&amp;Ts and swilled two bottles of red. The best thing to do is ditch the psychobabble and brace yourself for a bumpy ride. After all, it is Christmas, and a good old family bust-up is as traditional as wrapping the cat in holly and clipping a piece of mistletoe to the belt buckle of your trousers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"435\" data-attachment-id=\"5300\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/expatkaliningrad.com\/ru\/how-to-deal-with-a-vaccinated-liberal-family-member-at-christmas\/balls\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Balls.png?fit=400%2C435&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"400,435\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Balls\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Balls.png?fit=276%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Balls.png?fit=400%2C435&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Balls.png?resize=400%2C435&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Balls.png?w=400&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Balls.png?resize=276%2C300&amp;ssl=1 276w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Balls.png?resize=22%2C24&amp;ssl=1 22w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Balls.png?resize=33%2C36&amp;ssl=1 33w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Balls.png?resize=44%2C48&amp;ssl=1 44w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">If the vaccinated do bring up the topic of vaccination, which they will, stay cool, be curious, pretend to listen to what the other person is saying, no matter how stupid it is, don\u2019t jump to the right conclusions ~ keep them to yourself ~ and if all else fails offer the argumentative vaccinated more roast potatoes, using your roast potato mandate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Just to ensure that there is no possibility of avoiding a family rift, which will divide the family for ever, you could always take the following steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-blue-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\"><strong>Health advice on enduring Christmas with vaccinated family members (especially if they are liberal)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Don\u2019t ask everyone to wear masks unless it is part of a silly Christmas party game<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Apparently, some clown from a university in America has advised that if you are a vaccinated family inviting unvaccinated family members to join you on Christmas Day, you should insist that everyone wears masks, including children over two years of age. As there is no real evidence that masks are effective and, in fact, may do more harm than good, our advice is stick to the paper hats. They are a lot jollier and, unless you want to look especially stupid on your Christmas photos this year, more so than when wearing a paper hat, common sense and logic would suggest that what the gentleman from the university in America is telling you is a lot of unfortunate bollocks. Conversely, therefore, if you are an unvaccinated family and can think of no way out but to invite vaccinated relatives, by all means let them wear masks. Eating and drinking may be a little tricky for them, but at least by combining these activities with a mask the possibility of receiving a lecture on why you should be wearing one and choking along with them should be considerably reduced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ask vaccinated liberal guests to provide proof of a recent psychiatric test<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The same man from the American university, Professor Twat, suggested that in the case of a vaccinated family inviting unvaccinated guests, the vaccinated should be ordered to take a lateral flow test? Why would anyone want to have their drains inspected just because its Christmas? Oh, yes, with all that gutsing and swilling it could be a good idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">We suggest unvaccinated families inviting vaccinated guests not to be so stupid. We all know that vaccinations do not stop the spread of coronavirus but insulting the guests with apartheid-type requests prior to the big day could precipitate the very bust-up that you are trying to avoid, or at least save for later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">However, since we are led to believe that one in three people with Covid-19 do not have any symptoms, it is not inconceivable that one in three vaccinated family members might not show symptoms of voting Labour, although hard experience has taught us that asymptomatic Labour supporters are a very rare thing indeed. So just ask them to bring along proof of a recent psychiatric report on why they or anybody else for that matter would want to vote Labour and tell them as logically as you can that since they could be spreading the liberal virus without knowing it, testing themselves repeatedly, by reciting their doctrines in front of the mirror, might eventually lead to a full recovery from something they did not know that they had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Try to limit the number of households<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Professor T advises that limiting the number of people gathering at Christmas, especially the vaccinated, might not stop coronavirus spreading, but it will \u2018sure as hell, boy!\u2019 reduce the risk of someone getting punched on the snout. He fails to warn, however, that cherry picking who comes and who does not is a failsafe way of assuring that never again will the family be united. But then, isn\u2019t this what it\u2019s all about!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>If possible, host events outside<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">With advice like this I hope to get a job as a UK government health advisor. But, as loony as it may sound, it is not without merit. As a method of avoiding coronavirus uptake by reducing the risk of airborne transmission it is spot on, especially if you are one of a group and you all sit upwind. Even better, however, is the possibility it offers for \u2018dealing with\u2019 that vaccinated liberal. It works whether your house has a garden or not. Just politely ask the vaccinated liberal to sit outside in the garden or, alternatively, on the pavement and close the door. If he or she is vaccinated, wearing a mask and you are treating him or her (or it, or other) to the six-foot distancing rule, there is nothing at all to complain of. Just make sure that the windows are closed, the double-glazing is of reasonable quality and pray for a fall of snow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Lovely jubbly, job done. Now sit back and enjoy Christmas. You\u2019ve earnt it!\ud83d\ude0c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"color:#a32700\" class=\"has-text-color\">Copyright \u00a9 2018-2022 Mick Hart.
