How have you deduced that I isolate accountability to this single subject? This is the subject we are discussing. And your obtuse comments that you continue to toss out belie your lack of an actual defense in this "argument." Without having read all 3884 pages of posts, I can only deduce you are trolling or pot stirring.
To clarify further, an mRNA ebola vaccine trial has been going on for over a decade. We know the vaccine is safe, but it hasn't been released yet because there hasn't been a major ebola outbreak to test it against.
I don’t care what the justification is, but if we’re going to use scare tactics to reach target populaces of the world, I’m 1000% behind this. Tin foil is the new black, especially in these times where once hidden newsgroups and ham radio discussions have gone mainstream.
Most of my cousins and extended family have cut ties with me because we're vaccinated and I was trying to provide them with facts about the vaccines and COVID.
So what you’re telling me is, while people and governments are continuing to make stupid decisions, we should just rewrite the past and put our feet up.
I've tried to explain it a few times but feel like I'm talking to an AA in B-mode!
I won’t address the rest of your post, but please note that the Pfizer vaccine was developed in Germany and the J&J vaccine in the Netherlands. Nationalism is not going to get us out of this mess; the world needs to work together.
My kids will be going to school and they do participate in some activities but they are some of the only kids who wear masks. And I know statistically almost 50% of their unmasked classmates families are not vaccinated. I guess like so many people I've just had it. I want our normal life back. This isn't directed at you but I spent the last year hearing anti maskers yell, "This is America, I'm free to go about as I please without a mask and if you don't like it you can stay home!" and now here we go again anti vaxxers saying, "It's my choice to be vaccinated or not and if you don't like it you can stay home!" I'm sorry I'm just so frustrated and soooo tired. I would love to just say forget it let the anti vaxxers deal with the consequences but as a parent of young kids in an area with high community transmission I just can't.
Same. My son attends extended school year every summer, and I have yet to see another kid under 12 masking up.
But at least lie to certain Americans that it was American made. One less egg to fry, at least here.
I am sorry you feel that way. I hate to say it, but I am thinking we are not going to get to the vaccination rates in this country as we would like. I would like to see more efforts but I am unsure what that is going to do at this point. Honestly, as I said previously, maybe the increases we are seeing now will be a wakeup call for some. I also believe you are overestimating the risk to your children, but as their parent, you have absolute right to do what you think it best...and take action as you see fit.
I’ll buy you a scotch and we can dish in person. Whenever that day comes. But I just can’t multitask on this issue. Though I do agree with a lot of what you’re saying here.
I suppose the truly patriotic can stick with the American-made (and Dolly Parton-sponsored!) Moderna.
Hypothetically, if some mRNA somehow did hide away for a few years, could it degrade in a manner where it could still be transcribed into something else? Could that new protein be dangerous?
Well, liberal in CT is just conservatives who contribute to the arts.
OK sure whatever. Point taken. But it is Americans who are chiefly screwing this up. 99% of the rest of the world would kill for the ability to walk into any drugstore and get stuck.
My two children are in the same boat. They are fully vaccinated— they got their first shots literally two hours after it was approved for 12 to 15 year olds. Because they wanted to get on with their lives and get back to school. But now they will return masked this fall (and they know they will be in the minority) because many if not a majority of their classmates did not get vaccinated when they had the chance. We too are so sick and tired of trying to do the right thing while a critical mass of individuals is deliberately trying to dig in their heels to keep us all from moving forward.
Well, whatever they are - the results are evident that they’re still going strong.
You are a grown adult on an unofficial Disney fan forum rattling your saber about your personal perceived level of high ground(accountability), in comparison to others who you have never met.
But enough about you…
