> Vaccine mandates are crucial social policy

Maybe the reason USA has so many anti vaccers is because of vaccine mandates? It is much easier to believe that something is evil when you are forced to do it. Also many first world countries doesn't mandate vaccines and people get vaccinated anyway, so it isn't crucial social policy.

Exactly. COVID is so deadly, that people have to be coerced and mandated into taking it, when in the beginning of all of this, most were walking around asymptomatic with it.

No, that’s probably not the reason. The anti-COVID stuff preceded discussion of vaccine mandates. Europe has mandatory childhood vaccinations and not the same level of anti-vaccine sentiment.
