A mandate in this case is different because

a) this vaccine is not highly effective at preventing the disease (especially after 6 months+)

b) long term effects have not yet been studied

c) fatality is still much lower than for diseases where vaccines are mandatory

I'm vaccinated myself twice by I feel extremely uncomfortable to force other people to vaccinate. I don't think liberal democracies should go this path.

'Statistically insignificant' until it affects you.

>> Do you have example where they actually force you to get a vaccine like George Washington forced his soldiers?

Is this a genuine question? Do you not know? Both government and employers have numerous mandates in many places now and thousands of 'essential workers' have been fired already.
