The comment you replied to didn't mention mandates of any sort. It started with:

> For it to be a reasonable choice to not want to take the vaccine

"Basically everyone should get the vaccine" is a meaningfully different statement from "we should force people to get the vaccine".

Also, whether a person can be reasonable while making unreasonable choices isn't really the point either. The most reasonable option on this particular choice for the overwhelming majority pretty clearly seems to be to get the vaccine. It is similarly disingenuous to move the goal posts from "the most reasonable decision is to get the vaccine" to "you are an unreasonable person to not get the vaccine".

No. Reasonable decisions are literally defined as "what a reasonable person would do." What is disingenuous and dishonest is moving goal posts from "a reasonable choice" to "the most reasonable decision."

It's true that the post didn't mention mandates, but any time a group of people are putting themselves in the position to decide whether a person's individual choice about their own body is "reasonable" or not, you are pretty damn mandate-adjacent.
