4. Most Americans support masks and vaccines

I know the media framing can make it seem like a 50/50 split because the crazies get lots of airtime and those in the media do seem to love their cage match framing, giving the impression there are two equal sides duking it out. But most of us are sane. Though I do agree we are up against a very radical, shameless, and dangerous republican party.

A new poll by USA TODAY and Ipsos found that a majority of Americans say protecting the common good is more important than ensuring personal liberty when considering whether to require people to get a Covid-19 vaccination or wear a protective mask.

An overwhelming 72% of those surveyed called mask mandates "a matter of health and safety," not an infringement on personal liberty.
68% supported businesses refusing service to the unvaccinated.
62% supported employers requiring workers to get the vaccination.
