No IRL meetings

For the past three or more years I've had a monthly meeting first Thursday of the month with three very successful entrepreneurs.  When we started I still had my company and after I no longer worked they keep me on as a mascot.  It has always been a breakfast meeting where we discussed the ins and outs of their companies.  It was dubbed the Brain Trust as we solved some pretty big problems for each of their companies over the years in an entirely NDA environment.

 A year ago we went virtual but kept them up.  The virtual is really not nearly as interesting and we were all looking forward to June when we might be able to meet in person.  But yesterday as we were comparing vaccine status it came up that one of the group has no plans to be vaccinated.   Her stated reasoning is thin and she claims to not be antivax.  Her kids have all the other vaccines and she always gets a flu shot.  So is it fear?  Or political?  Her husband is a pretty heavily right leaning gun toting Texan who would never get a vaccine of any kind.  They are, of course, now going to travel.  They are going to Houston soon and to Las Vegas for a conference.
