COVID-19: Vaccine Confidence Grows, But Voters Expect Continuing Mask Mandates
Rasmussen Reports ^ | August 5, 2021 | Staff writer

Posted on 08/13/2021 9:23:34 AM PDT by BlackAdderess

More voters say they’re very confident in the COVID-19 vaccine, even as half expect to Americans will be required to wear masks in public at least another six months. And a majority believe public health should take precedence over individual liberty as the pandemic continues.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that just 70% of Likely U.S. Voters are confident in the safety and effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccine, including 42% who are Very Confident. Those numbers have increased from 67% and 34%, respectively, since March. Twenty-six percent (26%) of voters now say they are not confident that the vaccine is safe and effective, including 15% who are Not At All Confident

Anti-vaxx and anti-mask is not a winning position and it seems very likely that the only people served by all of this are the Democrats who want to cram all sorts of batshit stuff down our throats but who don’t want to pay the price on election day for their less than representative governing style. The way this might be accomplished is if the GOP looks insane.

Do not “mandate” jack squat. Pass a law or pound sand.

They don’t give mass murderers lethal injections, but they want to give them to us.

So why are they having to bribe or force people to be vaccinated if so many are so confident in it?

This report is nothing but a lie.

Eventually folks are going to figure out the dirty secret of the vaccines—they just don’t work (at least not for very long and not for variants now and in the future).

See this article in the mainstream New York Magazine from yesterday:

At some point .gov is gonna admit they f*&^% up, probably on a Friday night to avoid the weekday news cycle...

I think this is BS and propaganda.

Vaccine confidence grows? I think the opposite. You can catch it. You can spread it. And how many booster shots do you need? Why would confidence be growing???

The public expects mask mandates? While this may be so, because people understand the tyrants who rule over us, does it mean that mask mandates would be OK? We just expect them so go ahead and impose them? I think not. I think people are tired of the masks and do not want more stupid rules.

The “vaccines” are working. They are a cure for Wuhan flu hysteria, not a vaccine for the flu. Hysteria sufferers who get the vaccine overcome their hysteria, drop their precautions and get the flu. The success of the vaccinations is measured by the number of vaccinated who get the flu.

Well you can think what you like. I, for example, think that the only people who want the Republicans to chase their tails over conspiracy theories are Democrats.

Did you forget your meds, because your writing is incoherent? Fighting to the death for our children’s right to not suffer medical experimentation is incumbent upon us, just as defending our constitution used to be.

For a preview of coming attractions, and I don't mean that in a good way...

Estimating the reproductive number R0 of SARS-CoV-2 in the United States and eight European countries and implications for vaccination

Note the interesting comparison to MERS, BTW...

Trust is the coin of the realm.

And Deep State, Big Pharma, Big Med, Big Tech, Big Biz are ALL flat busted.

do you ever wonder why the cdc refuses to warn us about the dangers of sloppy joe opening the border, inviting, welcoming, and spreading hundreds of thousands of disease carrying invaders across our country during a so called “global pandemic”?...

Look at whom they are mandating.

The airlines have said no. If I were an airline I’d have to look at side effects and loss of pilots. FDA said yesterday it’s 10% loss

The personnel at the CDC Are not mandated

The White House staff is not mandated

Nor is Pfizer staff

Restaurant patrons in NYC where the mayor is actively trying to drive residents into the suburbs - Nassau, suffolk and Staten Island are all red. Trump country. I question Brooklyn

The VA personnel are mandated. A 10% drop there would be what kind of problem?

They’re talking about an active duty military mandate. Hasn’t happened yet

College students perpetually abused since at least the Obama admin gave loans to the government. They’re expendable and use able like VA staff

“a majority believe public health should take precedence over individual liberty...”

A majority of who??

I could ask the exact same questions where I live and cherry pick who I asked and get the exact opposite results.

“ How on earth did you manage to get banned from Breitbart?!”

LOL! I (sort of) quoted Fred Sanford and suggested Maxine Waters should press her face in some dough and make gorilla cookies.

Somehow they took offense...
