The majority of Americans still support COVID-19-related vaccination and masking mandates in the nation’s schools, although declining as intense protests at board of education meetings appear to have taken a toll. 

The poll comes as New Jersey reported that residents receiving the booster shot had passed one million on Nov. 18.

The Monmouth University Poll found that vaccination mandates for healthcare and air travel workers remains above 50%, although there is declining popularity for requiring vaccinations for restaurant patrons. Additionally, the poll  found strong support for President Joe Biden’s handling of the pandemic.

Support for School COVID-19 Measures

Sixty-one percent of the American public supported requirements that students, teachers, and staff wear masks while in school, which wavered from the 66% recorded in September.

Regarding vaccine mandates for both teachers and staff, support remained steady at 59% compared to the 60% reported in September. Support was also steady for vaccination requirements of students age 12 and older (53%, compared to 51% in September.)

However, support for students in the newly-eligible 5 to 11 age group was more tepid, with just 44% of the general public and 34% of parents saying they would endorse vaccine mandates for this demographic.

“The dramatic images of parents protesting at school board meetings has not shifted overall public opinion on mandates one way or the other since the beginning of the school year,” said Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute.

Opinion Steady for Other Industries

The survey found opinion on vaccine mandates in other settings hasn’t shifted much since September, including the healthcare sector (61%), airplane industry (57%), and general office settings (51%).

Each of the results was down two percentage points from September, with one exception: restauranting dining.

Overall, only 39% of Americans believed you should need to prove your vaccination to enter a restaurant for a meal. This was down seven points from September.

President Biden still enjoys a majority of the American’s support, with 53% saying he is doing a good job. In September, 52% rated his job as positive. State governors also saw an increase in support, with 60% saying they were doing a good job. This number was 56% in September.

Vaccine Distribution

The number of COVID-19 vaccines administered in New Jersey totaled 13,207,553 in-state, plus an additional 506,032 administered out-of-state for a grand total of 13,713,585 as of Nov. 18. Of those who have received the vaccine, 5,927,110 received their second dose or the one jab Johnson & Johnson dose in state and another 215,982 out of state, bringing those fully vaccinated to 6,143,092. 

State officials reported boosters and third shots of 565,391 for Pfizer and 420,123 for Moderna. A total of 17,814 New Jerseyans have received their Johnson & Johnson booster shot. Overall, 1,003,328 have received a booster or third shot.

In North Jersey, Bergen County has delivered 1,465,214 doses (653,438 fully vaccinated), Essex 1,147,669 doses (515,931), Hudson 1,014,695 doses (464,123), Morris 796,501 doses (352,285), Passaic 699,416 doses (320,668), Sussex 188,589 doses (85,436), and Warren 123,556 doses (55,557).

    There is no reason for an otherwise healthy not at risk young person to get a covid vaccine. If someone wants it thats fine. Its the parent of a minor wants to allow their healthy kid to be part of some global medical experiment : thats fine. Its their child they are putting at risk

    The vaccines do not stop spread or infection

    Young people are not at risk

    Mandates are immoral

    Only a complete moron would turn their bodies over to the government on behalf of big pharma.

    FDA Wants Until 2076 (55 Years!) To Fully Release Pfizer Vaccine Data: Lawsuit

    As explained in a prior article, the FDA repeatedly promised “full transparency” with regard to Covid-19 vaccines, including reaffirming “the FDA’s commitment to transparency” when licensing Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine. 

    With that promise in mind, in August and immediately following approval of the vaccine, more than 30 academics, professors, and scientists from this country’s most prestigious universities requested the data and information submitted to the FDA by Pfizer to license its COVID-19 vaccine. 

    The FDA’s response?  It produced nothing. So, in September, my firm filed a lawsuit against the FDA on behalf of this group to demand this information. To date, almost three months after it licensed Pfizer’s vaccine, the FDA still has not released a single page. Not one.

    Instead, two days ago, the FDA asked a federal judge to give it until 2076 to fully produce this information. The FDA asked the judge to let it produce the 329,000+ pages of documents Pfizer provided to the FDA to license its vaccine at the rate of 500 pages per month, which means its production would not be completed earlier than 2076.
