At 10:15 a.m. on Monday July 26, 2021, Missouri Governor Mike Parson took to social media to announce his support of vaccines and voice his disapproval of re-instating mask mandates.
“Dictating mask mandates when we have the vaccine is ignoring the real solution and eroding public trust. From the very beginning of this pandemic, we have recognized the importance of local control; however, re-imposing mask mandates regardless of vaccination status is WRONG.

These policies that don’t consider vaccination status reduce the incentive of getting the vaccine and undermine its integrity. The vaccine is how we rid ourselves of COVID-19, not mask mandates that ignore common sense.” – From the Governor Mike Parson Facebook page.
