Leaving out the apology part, I think you know your answer here. The people you need in your life, going forward, are the ones you can trust to hide you under the floorboards if the Gulag Wagon rolls up to your door. You ain't got 'em here.
You don't need to say anything. Just decline, gently, any invitations to anything going forward…

You don't need to say anything. Just decline, gently, any invitations to anything going forward. Big or small. You understand their character now. You're a father now. Would you want Baby Yulia to think these are trustworthy people to take candy from?
What you were compelled to do, those I love most were too. It's been a terrible permanent anxiety for me. Do as I'd advise any precious to me person to. 3000mg vitamin C daily, spaced over time, minimum, unless even that dosage causes you physical discomfort.
And let new good friends find you, They'll stick for the right reasons.
it has been very difficult. I cannot discuss my views with anyone in my family (except husband) Every one of them are devout covidians.
Includes my siblings, my 98 year old daddy, and both of my 30something daughters hubbies and babies. We have been banned from my younger daughters home. Her husband found my sharing of information "disgusting and sickening"
I feel your angst. My brother told me and the rest of the purebloods belong in a camp. I laughed and told him he is a Nazi. We don't talk anymore. At least my elderly parents, who took the shots, respect my decision and I still see regularly.
If America survives 30+ years, we'll see a whole crop of movies where grandchildren are forced to live with grandparents, act out in anger against the evil they grew up hearing about, only to realize their mistake just after grandpa dies (and soon enough to "love" grandma).
The kids will believe what they're told the first 10+ yrs until they're forced to see something different by life. Then serious confusion and strains will explode.
So sorry you have to go through this! I would be devastated if my kids banned me from my grands! As it is they live 800 miles from me... but at least we are of all like mind... none of my 4 kids ages 24-29 are vaccinated, yet they have all had covid, most multiple times... and so far so good!
What you've described (vaxxed/unvaxxed social and even legal discrimination) is sort of a "Party Loyalty" test. Even if they didn't have any faults of their own, the jab development and deployment have broken virtually every old rule, standard, etc. In so many words, a managerial state, authoritarianism, call it what you like. Those who question the slapdash new products are seen as wreckers, impediments to the new authoritarianism.
Of course, I've made the case rather binary. I realize there are people who still trusted the system and took the jabs. But I'm talking about the "Party Members" who are indoctrinated by mass media, and refuse argument that not all is well. These divisions are dangerous, and the implications extend far beyond shoddy medicine and corporate greed.

I have drawn my line in the sand as well. I won’t do it. I love my family but I love myself as well. If I die, I die.

I kindly stood my ground

it is really difficult for me. It is 6 months now, and I have changed emotionally as well.
I have now convinced myself that being a gramma is just a big annoyance anyway. So this makes life easier.
It feels like psycho clown world
That is so sad... so sorry you have to endure this pain. You do have to do what you need to do to protect your heart.
The division that this is causing is purely satanic – and I don’t speak metaphorically.
