solutions. g a better y this is abc 7 news. >> you were watching getting answers questions every day at 3:00 p.m. to get answers for you in real time. today we will meet the youngest mensa member in america. she is two years old and from los angeles and we can't wait for you to meet her. but first, he is back, >> i think we have a majority

of people who are high risk trying to get the rest of the vaccine has a tender people to just need that extra nudge out there, that's why vaccine incentives are popping up at headlines, including the lottery we just saw in california. >> let's get right to it, learning more about covid-19 today. >> the first round of vaccine incentive which one of these incentives is not real? hey, anheuser-busch will buy every adult beer when we reach 70% vaccination goal. every adult age of 21. >> kroger will give $1 million and free groceries for a year. golden state warriors 10

vaccinated fans a private tour and i meet and greet. they are all pretty legit, which one is not true? >> you're really forcing us to pay attention to the news. if you're watching on facebook live go ahead and help us out. a b or c, we did report on anheuser-busch buying every adult appear in partnership with the biden administration so it's kind of i guess between d and c. because the golden state warriors is so forward thinking i will say it is true that they will offer fans a private tour. , before i commit to that will see what people are saying on facebook live. >> facebook friends are the best. >> is kind of split, brenda bre

i'm sticking with my gas that b is the lie. >> kroger did come through and that is the real incentive. golden state warriors, maybe there watching, probably good idea. maybe they will do this. i checked, there are no incentives like this. >> iam seeing what you are doing there, you're planting a little seed in the golden state warriors head. >> i have faith that they can do that. >> i have to be candid right now. if the vaccine incentives work and they get people motivated that's a good thing but at the end of the day i do find it a bit strange there where incentivizing people to get this life-saving preventative vaccine where we still have several countries in the world

were vaccination is under 10%, front-line workers still don't have access. it seems like a stark disparity right now. >> the u.s. is donating or loaning 25 million vaccine shots to a lot of other countries including asia and africa, taiwan and japan, they desperately want to be vaccinated, 2% in japan. 3% in india. and here were having to beg people to get the shot. no wait, no point to just drop we hato have people have peopl a look at what's happening in countries where they don't have access to the do. there's a reason cases are going down, positivity rate is under 3%. one person wants to know, can you provide the latest news

pfizer vaccine, there was going to be one of my questions. very interesting we have been saying all vaccines are good but this kind of news makes onr >> i understand where people see these headlines. for months we've been talking about this variant and how were worried about protection. kevin is asking, headlines today talking about what the pfizer ovarian originated from india thus causing a rise in cases and become of the documents dominant strain in the uk. early reports showed the amount of neutralizing antibodies that are going to come in and take out the virus is less than with other variants. a couple caveats here. that doesn't mean the protection is zero. that is really important. this lancet study still shows a level of protection. number two, that's only one arm

of the immune response. if y stl have mo ing wknowif moderna or s ane pfrk johnson & johnson would do better at that particular variant either, right? >> they are still effective just less so with other variants. we still need to get people vaccinated. that's the most important thing we could do right now. >> a new cdc study highlights the urgent need to vaccinate teenagers. it's about hospitalization for teenagers. >> this is a headline when you first take a look at it is concerning. but they are looking at data from january to the end of march, a little more than more o to 17 age range and about 30% wind up in the icu. teenagers can still get

affected. the percentage of teenagers who are effective can still wind up in intensive care. this data is from january to march, we have a lot more immunity out there. we now have a way for teenagers to get themselves protected and this is really important. this is an underlining tone i want to take. this is giving us a reality check. by no means a reason to say we are still in trouble and we need to have full disclosure. >> remember, covid-19 hospitalizations for teenagers are rare but still with more frequency than for the flu. >> we have said this since day one. it's a misnomer to say the children are immune which we heard last april. this is a big deal, cal osha came on work place rules. if a single person is on

vaccinated in an office and everyone must wear masks. do you agree with that? that is really controversial with a lot of people saying, i got vaccinated, i don't want to wear my mask. >> i'm confused because this goes against the recommendation and science the vaccines not only protect you but reduce your chance of transmuting the virus to others. >> these recommendations cause a little bit of confusion. i saw colorful gifts and means, who's the one person, if your entire office is vaccinated and your employer says one person is not he going to ask everybody to wear a mask? this seems to be a really interesting social experience i ience ani hope th readdresd. >> iobly >> let's see if we have any

viewer questions, if you're on facebook live please feel free to ask the doctor. president joe biden has set a goal of 70,000, 70% of americans having gotten there first shop by july 4. do you think we will reach that marker? >> based on the trajectory where we are even though we are dipped below 1 million a day need about 18 to 12 20 million more so we are on track right now, today is june 4, we have about 30 days to go. mathematically we can get there if we stay on the same trajectory. we should applaud this effort, we about to get 70% of americans that one shot and already seen result of having more than 50% and with get w

is take a break but we will come back with another round

hi, i'm debra. i'm from colorado. i've been married to my high school sweetheart for 35 years. i'm a mother of four-- always busy. i was starting to feel a little foggy. just didn't feel like things were as sharp as i knew they once were. i heard about prevagen and then i started taking it about two years now. started noticing things a little sharper, a little clearer. i feel like it's kept me on my game. i'm able to remember things. i'd say give it a try. prevagen. healthier brain. better life.

we are back live live studio we are both fully vaccinated so it's nice to have dr. back here. lot a headlines to talk about and i know you always wanted to learn in the form of the game because it sticks in our brains better so we are ready for another round of truth truth and a lie. are you ready? if you're on facebook live go ahead and help me out.

>> which one of these is not true, based on recent headlines about progress. new york plans to eliminate its indoor mask requirement for students and adults or florida department of health is going to stop reporting cases in daily reports, c for the firsth time since march 2020 they recorded a seven day average. than 10,000 daily cases? >> those are all good ones and you are getting more skilled at making it harder to figure out which one is a lie. i remember hearing new york state does plan to eliminate mask requirements and i have heard pushes from experts, doctors like yourself saying kids don't need to wear them and summer camp. i'm going to say that is true. i do think for the first time since march 2020 we've recorded the seven day average, so i think i'm going to go with b because even though florida has been less restrictive

>> florida is florida. >> i think that goes a little too far i can't even see them saying they are not going to report anymore. we need the data. what you say viewers? >> this is a testament to how good your questions are because a b and c are all evenly split. i will say b is the lie. >> the lie is actually c. >> that's the fun of this th it's actually 20,000. they will be able to rest a little easier when we get that 10,000. still great progress.

new york does plan on eliminating this and they are going to submit a letter. i think it's important for people to understand surprised it doesn't mean they are not going to record cases, they are just going to stop running those daily reports. the governor said the case rate is so low they are not concerned about it anymore. serious side effects are going to take place within two months.

it requires two months of safety data. full approval requires six months because it's more rigorous testing. if you look at the technology were using is been around 20 yes.e has for motha year. there's no evidence that all to suggest anything could interfere with puberty but the mechanism is how vaccine works has been done. this is why were still going where different age group, >> i hope it offers some people britain just ran the pfizer and they ran their own trial so that's like double confirmation. >> there's no scientific

intervention that i've had this rigorous review on this particular vaccine. facebook viewers some of you seem to be wondering if i'm not seeing your question. i actually am not. the way the facebook into place interfaces showing is the start of a question but not a full question. so i rely on our producer for help in terms of putting together your questions. totally not ignoring you. in the meantime let's get to questions. >> is a fully vaccinated person what can i or cannot do or even if i can should i do these things? i'm going to pose it to you. given our community transition levels would you do these things yes or no? quickly. eat indoors? >> yes. >> work out indoors, cycling class were everyone is sweating
