That's what some want for the future of humanity. One top WHO official, Dr David Nabarro, basically said so in a roundabout way.
Why masks forever? Variants, that's why. Variants will keep coming, so governments around the world will need to keep employing what he calls their "Covid-ready strategy".

“I’m basically saying variants are going to go on coming. That’s part of life, we need to pick them up fast, we need to move quickly if we see them in a certain location, we need to build the management of variants into what we call our Covid-ready strategy, which is going to be the pattern for the foreseeable future,”
The strategy for dealing with covid is masks and social distancing. Even if people get vaccinated against one strain, new variants come along, and he wants governments to keep employing their covid strategy as the vaccines won't work anymore. How useful those vaccines are right?
Someone who straight out said they want forever masks and social distancing is Former Communist Party member and SAGE adviser Susan Michie.
