????
The state has the power to enforce mandatory vaccination, but does not want to use it, so use mandatory vaccination instead, which is more digestable.
Did I get that right?
(From the linked wiki article: "Massachusetts .. had compulsory vaccination," and also "Massachusetts law empowered .. cities and towns to enforce mandatory, free vaccinations for adults". There's no difference between compulsory and mandatory in this context.)

- hprotagonist 5y agoAny suitable candidate for a COVID-19 vaccine can voluntarily choose whether to get the shot when the opportunity arises. Mandates, however, set conditions on participation to encourage vaccination: If you want to go to work, attend school, or travel, get vaccinated. With compulsory vaccination, individual consent is not an option. Force is used if necessary. Though a vestige of a bygone era of public health practice, limited legal authority remains for forcible vaccination among certain groups. The term mandate may be particularly confusing. https://slate.com/technology/2021/04/covid-vaccination-law-mandates-requirements.html https://slate.com/technology/2021/04/covid-vaccination-law-m... Mandatory is "if you don't, you're {fired, cannot enter our business, cannot attend our school, ...}". Compulsory is "the nice police officer standing right next to me is going to watch as we vaccinate you on your front porch, got it?" or "we will fine you $X thousand dollars if you appear in public unvaccinated". The former case was (now again famously) done in Boston ... in 1775. The latter has been done occasionally in the past 4 or 5 years to stamp out measles infections, notably in new york state.
