There's always a choice. I decided that one would be a hill to die on, at least in my book. And, when you are comfortable with escalation, people can feel it.
Had a 'discussion' with the head nurse at a top hospital in a liberal hellhole city, who said "one moment", her and her aides set a few things, and cleared out of the room. They left without saying a word lol, so I waited a touch to make sure they didn't come back. Legit my last memories with that family member are in the thirty minutes or so that followed this exchange.
Worth all of the risk. And for all of the 'is this worth going to jail' that I was mentally twisting in knots over in the hospital lobby, no actual jail time was needed. I just had to be brave enough to go to jail.
In America, dozens were arrested for trying and HAD NO CHOICE but to let their family members die alone. Hundreds of people only faced fines for violating visitation guidelines. Thousand only got citations and warnings.
I never will, but I know this comment isn't so much addressed to me as a 3rd party reader.
Anyway, I was just trying to share my story to embolden others. My heart was beating out of my chest when I stormed back there, quite seriously looking for a fight that ultimately didn't happen. As faggy as it might sound, it was one of the scariest things I had done in years, and turned out to be a nothingburger.

But MILLIONS died alone because of compliance.
Never forget.

I decided it was the hill they would die on. Especially if they tried to force vax me, threatening my job or buying food.
