A new study suggests that addressing the polarizing COVID-19 vaccine is causing strain on relationships. According to the Huffington Post, marriages are crumbling due to COVID conspiracies and differing opinions about the vaccination. Also, dating sites like OKCupid say they have seen around a 25% increase in mentions of "vaccine" on site profiles over the month of January, and a 63% increase between November and January while Tinder recorded an astronomical 258% increase in profile mentions of the word "vaccine" between September and December of 2020.
