Nearly 40% of voters say they'll be ready to stop wearing masks in 3 months or less

Just under 30% say they already feel comfortable foregoing one.

Nearly 40% of voters say they'll be ready to stop wearing masks in public in three months or less, according to a new Just the News Daily Poll with Scott Rasmussen.

Among the 39% of respondents who indicated as much, the largest share — 27% — said they were "already comfortable" doing so, while 5% said it would be "a month or so" before they felt that way and 7% said it would be "two to three months."

A 53% majority of voters, meanwhile, said they'd feel comfortable discarding their masks in three to six months (14%), more than six months (30%) or never (9%).

The science supporting widespread mask usage to control transmission of respiratory viruses is still comparatively sparse; prior to this year, numerous studies had consistently shown that masks appeared to have little to no effect in that regard.

Numerous public health officials, meanwhile, have argued that Americans will need to continue wearing masks even after being vaccinated for COVID-19.

“Numerous public health officials, meanwhile, have argued that Americans will need to continue wearing masks even after being vaccinated for COVID-19.”

‘Numerous health officials’ need to learn that they can only recommend, they cannot mandate. Biden and his ilk can kiss my ass if they think I’ll be wearing a mask every time I leave my house.

What gets me are the morons who wear their masks outside, in the open air, walking down the street with no one else around. Sheeple and likely DemocRAT voters.

If Biden makes it mandatory, then I'll NEVER wear one again!

I'm ready to ditch mine right now. The only reason I wear one, and only after I take three or four steps inside a place of business, is because I'm mandated by a military FRAGORD to wear one. Not wearing a mask for me is a violation of the UCMJ. So I dutifully put one on.

I wear mine in the same fashion as Dr. Fauci does. Protect my chin from COVID.

What slays me is friends wearing masks to come to my house--where they then don't wear masks while here playing board games.

Anyhow, I make no predictions because I don't know the thinking of the cabal that has kept gaslighting the public. We residents of Blue States could be mask-mandated for another year.

23 Dec: French government delays bill branded as ‘vaccine blackmail’
Bill would allow prime minister to ban unvaccinated people from public places.
BY JULES DARMANIN
The French government has been forced to postpone plans that could see unvaccinated people banned from public places during health crises, following vocal opposition...

“Because there needs to be trust for the French people to go and get vaccinated of their own free will, because we’re still in a state of sanitary crisis … the government won’t present the text [to the National Assembly] for several months, before we’re out of the crisis,” (French Health Minister Olivier Véran) told TF1...

I remember coming back to work from a short vacation and the boss texting our group not to come in on Monday. And that we’d be off for two weeks.

It seemed prudent at the time, but after the first two weeks, it started to feel bogus as you could still do a lot of things _except_ go to work. The lockdown tightened going into May and I remember my brother and I telling each other riots and shots-fired weren’t a question of if, but when. I thought they’d be over the lockdown. But the left built it around George Floyd and BLM instead.

Even in Houston, it seems to be about 80% wearing masks outside downtown. In the suburbs, it’s more like .1%.

Assuming 0’Biden takes office in January, I’m sure there will be shocking new information that mask wearing isn’t helping, so take ‘em off now.

Alone in a car, driving on the highway. If I had a nickle for every moron I've seen doing that, I'd have a healthy chunk of change.
