Sep 23, 2015 at 17:06 comment added Péter Komjáth Here is the forcing: assume that `$\{A_\alpha:\alpha<\omega_2\}$ is a collectin of $\aleph_1$-sized sets with countable intersection. The forcing shrinks each of them to an uncountable subset, so that these sets have finite intersections: $p\in P$ if $p$ is a function, $Dom(p)$ is a finite subset of $\omega_2$ and $p(\alpha)$ is a finite subset of $A_\alpha$. $p'$ extends $p$ iff $Dom(p')\supseteq Dom(p)$, $p'(\alpha)\supseteq p(\alpha)$ for $\alpha\in Dom(p)$ and $p'(\alpha)\cap p'(\beta)=p(\alpha)\cap p(\beta)$ for $\alpha,\beta\in Dom(p)$. ccc is the tricky thing.
Sep 23, 2015 at 16:48 comment added Péter Komjáth Isn't this done in Baumgartner's Almost-disjoint sets, the dense set problem and the partition calculus? Annals of Math. Logic, 10(1976), p. 424, part 6. with the so-called thinning out forcing.
