So you would be for condom mandates? Just to be clear.Quote:

Agree but no one is or should be forcing anyone to wear them.Quote:

Haha, I had to wear mine at one kid's daycare and made it out alive. Annoyed but alive, phew. :)Quote:

I see middle or moderate as open to new views and information. Not passive aggressive, but open to new ways of seeing things. Go to the extremes and you find people who I have made up their minds, regardless of what happens tomorrow.Quote:

Glad it worked out for him since no one is stopping the flood of potentially infected and unvaccinated people into his state.Quote:

Despite making up 2.7% of the population, 40 - 44% of breakthrough hospitalizations have been in the immunocompromised. I think it may be a bit lower that that but even so that is why they are recommending a 3rd shot.
Pfizer shot will be fully approved in the next week in all likelihood…
I'm open to new info but I'm not open to feckless "experts" who are all over the place. I've heard and researched as much as possible. I don't find it extreme to take a position once you have data and understand the statistics. If you are in an at risk pop you should: Get vaxxed, wear a mask and try to get on with your life as best as possible.Quote:

Good info. Agree the immunocompromised should get the 3rd shot. And other shots available if that works for them.Quote:

Thanks SB! From my POV, I want to present the alternative side since it's being actively suppressed my the MSM and big tech. That is not science. Scientific hypothesis/assumptions/data must pass thru rigorous and robust debate to get us all to the truth. Bad and horrible decisions are being made because the whole story isn't being told. I appreciate you, Muskie in Dayton and others for supporting free and open debate....Quote:

I took groceries to my 93 year old mother yesterday. You know who the “at risk pop” is? That is the entire population. You apparently can’t comprehend that, so I don’t see how we can continue a meaningful conversation about this topic.
Nice post.Quote:

What exactly is the "entire population" at risk of (in response to your hyperbolic statement, I'm sure you're aware).
Curiously you claimed I have a side. I don't, I'm for people being free to hear information and make their decisions. Not sure why that's extreme to you unless your hiding your own extremism behind the veneer of moderation?
Your premise is that we're all at risk. You need to define the risk before applying it to your premise.
Don’t move the goalposts. I said the entire population. I didn’t include at risk, but you did in your attempt to twist your point. That’s how you guys work. I’m up front. I don’t know it all. Only clowns pretend to have all the answers. You expose yourself when you try stuff like that.Quote:

The entire population IS at risk. Let’s stay focused on the facts. Our DIL’s sister is the ring leader among SIX daughters. She was anti-vax until a couple days ago. A close friend in her 30’s is apparently brain dead in a hospital in Orlando.Quote:

Didn't address any questions and used anecdotes to support the false premise of the first sentence.Quote:

Why do you feel the need to put people on sides?
What is the entire population at risk of?
This did not seem to be well thought out or considered, so I will put off to another time.Quote:
