Factually untrue.
And then, as @Amethyst said, it will be on them to decide whether to proceed in a considerate, thoughtful, and kind manner or to take a more belligerent stance.
+1 , excellent ideaTough situation.
Could you put a small asterisk at the bottom of the invitation requesting that all guests over age 12 be vaccinated if they plan to attend. That puts the onus on your friend to decide if they want to come (and to go get vaccinated) or decide they don't want to attend. It will be their decision.
....We would very much like to have these folks at the wedding, based on long-standing, harmonious family ties and good relations, but we also are trying to ensure the wedding is safe for everyone. ......What would you do in this situation?
My doctor does not want me to be vaccinated based on my current health(excellent) and my genetic makeup along with current available treatments. That doesn't not mean that I judge those who choose (along with the doctors advice) to get vaccinated. I do not expect anyone else to keep me "safe". I would be sad to not be included in your wedding if you are a close family member. I believe we are all responsible for our own health and decisions including eating well and supporting our immune system. We can all be kind and civil and stay home when not feeling well but we can't be responsible for each other's healthy or unhealthy choices.
Sojourner, I think it is very thoughtful of you to take into consideration that some people (like the elderly folks you have invited to your wedding) may have been vaccinated but the vaccination is not very effective for them. This is our situation. DH has an autoimmune disease and is fully vaccinated but his doctor has told him that there have been some recent studies that show that the vaccine is less than 50% effective for people like him. We are struggling about what to do in social situations such as weddings. If we were invited to your wonderful wedding we would ask you if there will be unvaccinated people in attendance. If your answer was yes or you did not know we would likely decline the invitation. If you were a very close family or friend we might attend (at least the outdoor parts) and wear a mask and do our best to socially distance but we would be uncomfortable. Not a good solution but we are doing the best we can to keep DH safe. We hope the FDA will approve booster shots for people like him soon. Thank you for being so considerate, we are finding that it is pretty rare to find people who understand the vaccine situation for immune compromised people.
Tough situation.

What does your genetic makeup have to do with anything, get a new doctor.
We are attending a wedding in the fall in NY and received our invitation about a month ago and on top of the invitation it states that to have a safe wedding the bride and groom are asking guest to be vaccinated.
We are but I was wondering about the staff at the venue so I called the hotel and they told me that they are not requiring their staff to be vaccinated but are 50% of them are. So my concern is that all the guests will feel they are in a safe venue but in reality your server, bar tender, and kitchen staff could be spreading covid.
