Gallup polled on the vaccine willingness and it’s good news:
Masking … well…
There is still a substantial number of people who don’t plan to get vaccinated and don’t want to wear masks.
I feel so sorry for the people who can’t take the vaccine for a variety of reasons. There are a lot of people out there who just don’t care.
It’s looking very much as if you will not need to wear a mask if you are fully vaccinated. We don’t know yet for sure, so until they do we’ll have to continue to be careful in public. But the signs are good. So people who refuse to get vaccinated and also refuse to wear masks are … bad.
Here’s some more good news from the new Kaiser Foundation Poll:
Unfortunately:
While enthusiasm for getting the COVID-19 vaccine continues to inch up across partisan groups, a persistent divide remains, with about eight in ten Democrats (79%), almost six in ten independents (57%), and fewer than half of Republicans (46%) saying they have either received at least one dose of the vaccine or intend to do so as soon as possible. About three in ten Republicans (29%) say they will “definitely not” get vaccinated, similar to the share who said so in February.
