Mandates work up to a point. Eventually you will be left with a portion of the population that cannot be convinced and will not obey mandates. Once you've reached that point, what purpose does the mandate serve? Nobody else is going to get the vaccines, so there is no public health justification for keeping the mandate around. However, what remains is the continual need to provide your vaccine status to your employer and in various other aspects of your daily life, which is a burden for vaccinated people too. The United States has probably already reached that point, or will soon.
