Mandatory vaccination has been in place for a long time, and nobody complained - not least because they understood it was for their own benefit, if not for the greater good. The question arises, why was Covid vaccination such a problem for a significant vocal minority? You mention 'do no harm', but I really don't think that is the root of it.

Because you can't introduce new technology without testing. Most people just took the vaccine on faith. In fact I'd say the faith in the vaccine was higher than any faith I have seen in my life.

  Even religious fundamentalists have a core understanding that they frequently have serious doubts, and that it's okay if it takes time to get back to full faith.

Some serious false equivalence here. Mandatory vaccination for deadly diseases like measles and the mumps. COVID is not deadly for the young.

  It's not about being deadly, it's about the risk of long COVID and the long-term health risks that spike after infection regardless of symptom severity. It IS bad.
