Just saw on TV Pfizer is advertising for 5-11 year olds at the Univ of Mo for covid trials. Would you offer your youngsters for a test to see effects?
I don't see it as lying, just as irresponsible to not get vaccinated when it helps everyone. But... some are selfish, and everything is about them; not what's good for the country. Yeah... real patriots my a ss...Problem is it turns political because people on either side of topic claim the other side is lying.
BEST RESONSE YET !You are free to go unmasked if you so choose. And others are free to refuse service, or prohibit your entry if they so choose. You are free to decide not to get vaccinated if you so choose. And others are free to consider your unvaccinated self a pariah if they so choose. Don't complain about losing your freedoms just because someone else exercises theirs.
Please explain why getting vaccinated "helps everyone." We know that after being vaccinated, you can still become infected and transmit the virus. We know vaccinated individuals, when they do become infected, carry a higher viral load than an unvaccinated person in the same situation.I don't see it as lying, just as irresponsible to not get vaccinated when it helps everyone.

I don't think that is correct. Do you have a reference about vaccinated individuals having a higher viral load, presumably in the nasal cavity? I have the impression that even infected vaccinated individuals are LESS likely to transmit infection to others? It is not zero, but unless the vaccinated individuals are indulging in risky behavior, shouldn't be more?Please explain why getting vaccinated "helps everyone."

Does falsehood spreaders sound better?BTW, calling people liars is counterproductive. In 30 or 40 years we find out who really was right. It takes a long time to gather data and determine what the right course of action should have been. The 'science' that people are following has been interpreted by humans and may be slanted to their way of thinking.
I think a great book to read is 'State of Fear' by Chrichton.
I also think that the 24 hours news stations are going to do this country in. They feed the flames and I don't always agree with their interpretation of the facts. I watched some of the hearings and then the reports of what happened at those hearings and wondered if the reporters actually listened to what was said.
That being said, I don't use the word liars. Just my $0.02
Dude... you lost your Liberty when the Patriot Act was passed...Please explain why getting vaccinated "helps everyone."

What's good for the country is to maintain individual liberty. Perhaps you don't see it now, but maybe someday you will. Restricting freedom based upon alleged public health emergencies is a very slippery slope we don't want to ever traverse again.
I knew that I recognized your user name from FTE. You gave me some great advice over there regarding Dually's & F-450's. I remember that you bought a Ram.Lol, that was just a fun example. I consider myself to be a Ford guy; had more Super Duty trucks than any other brand. But I've recently switched to RAM / Cummins trucks and I think I like them a tad more. (Still have one Super Duty still, an old 6.0L even! It's making money for me, so I keep it around.) I also have an older GMC one ton which has been very good with a gas 6.0L.
Here is a link to the Oxford study. I think to clarify, the study showed vaccinated health care workers were carrying 251 times the viral load of people infected with the original 2020 virus, which would have been unvaccinated people. My statement is misleading because the study did not test unvaccinated people in the same setting to determine if they, too would have had the greater viral load, especially with the Delta version. However, it does conclude that even a vaccinated person with the Delta variant is far more likely to spread the illness than an unvaccinated person infected last year, so the notion of the vaccine helping not spread the virus is false. Further, the study showed long periods of PCR positivity, up to 21 days from the time of diagnosis, and low levels of vaccine-produced antibodies.I don't think that is correct. Do you have a reference about vaccinated individuals having a higher viral load, presumably in the nasal cavity?

Do you have a GT350? I see your username implies that. I also have a 2020 Mustang GT 6MT; love it. GT350 would be even more fun, but I'm content with my car.I knew that I recognized your user name from FTE. You gave me some great advice over there regarding Dually's & F-450's.

Nice dodge.Dude... you lost your Liberty when the Patriot Act was passed...
When the Patriot Act passed, I wasn't quite to voting age, so even though I generally liked GWB, I had no say in it.Dude... you lost your Liberty when the Patriot Act was passed...
Manly doctors are included in not knowing what to do. In a few years when society looks back, what we know now is nothing compared to what we will know as fact then."What are your thoughts on dealing with friends and family who think this way, or even the general public that we interact with? "
You must appreciate that all have had different experiences to form their ideas and judgement on matters.
I believe that if someone is "not smart enough to know they are not smart enough" then you have no chance of an informative conversation where ideas are put forward and discussed. Only pleasantries can be exchanged.
When looking at the world today, there are so many staunchly set in their extreme beliefs that societiy now has a bipolar disorder and can not evolve. It is just squabbling by people who are not smart enough to know they are not smart enough.
