You've got yourself very turned around: the only reason there were talk of mandates is because we knew that, without them, people wouldn't get the vaccine. Fear of vaccines long predates any mandates. It basically started the minute the first vaccine was developed.
I'm not saying no one refused it because of talk of mandates, but the overall trend would be that without a strong incentive, some people would not get it, whether it just because of laziness, procrastination, or simply being on the fence about it.
Mandates increased the number of people who didn't get it. There's no reason for mandates.
Do you have anything to back this up or is it just how you feel?
Narrator: They didn't.
I wouldn't normally be the guy to jump straight to the conclusion that you are a Russian propagandist, but look at that instance name. Not even subtle.
