It doesn't help that major components of the "political class" are being the biggest babies and spreading straight up disinformation. Sure, we shouldn't have to have a mandate, but we are now at the point where it makes no sense not to have one and people can't see that because they are being routinely lied to by people that have the vaccine and by organizations that have the mandate.

Again, this is your shortcoming. It doesn't get fixed by forcing people to have something injected inside of them and have their movement restricted by sanitary passports.

Where does personal responsibility come into the equation? You say it's someone else's fault they haven't educated someone, but that someone has to carry some responsibility on being receptive and to evaluate information, no?

Being persuaded and being informed are hopefully related, but demonstrably different.

This is not "my" shortcoming. This is a shortcoming of the system that we have to make up for in some way, like having a vaccine mandate.
