Cohousing-L Mailing List: COVID divisions

[Dean smith (deansmith4]

Hello all,

As a forming community seeking members we have a covid-delemma.  Most of our 
members have gotten the vaccine.  Some have not have gotten the vaccine.  Those 
who have the vaccine refuse to be around an 40% is not.  If 60% of our folks 
refuse to associate with the other 40%, we could be in for some striking 
divisions.  Should the first question for prospective members be, “Have you 
been vaccinated for Covid-19?"

In an established community  this could even cause it  to split.  Am I over 
reacting or is this an issue?

It seems to me that living in community almost demands that we all protect each 
other be being vaccinated.  Yet those who refuse feel that they have good 
reasons.  Is it possible that the refusers wouldn’t be interested in community 
anyway?  

What do you think?
