How to Politely Drop My Bridesmaid

Absolutely this. Please don't listen to the opinions of the women on here who think your cousin's decision is more important than your fiance's health. Based on some of these commenters, the future is looking dim.

Explain that this is under doctor's orders. And don't reimburse her for the dress, smh. This is HER decision. YOU are in a position where you simply don't have a choice (I mean, given that you want to listen to science/doctors and she wants to listen to...FB? I'm guessing?).

Y'all need to be kind to the woman trying to listen to her fiance's doctors. How dare you.

Explain it is doctor's orders, and not safe for your fiance to be around her if she is unvaccinated, and that everyone needs to be vaccinated to attend. This is a matter of health and goes beyond wedding etiquette. You aren't doing anything rude or wrong.

Well in my state a woman just died from the vaccine and another woman's nursing infant died because she had it. It's not 100% safe and therefore not a simple request. You can't just toss those facts aside when your cousin not wanting the vaccine is basically the whole point.

That being said, she should understand that you're doing all you can to protect your fiance and be okay with the rules for your wedding.

I do agree that you should probably opt for a smaller wedding since it's such a concern, though.

Okie dokie. Apparently, you missed the "That being said, she should understand that you're doing all you can to protect your fiance and be okay with the rules for your wedding." part of my comment. I won't bother you with an answer again.
