> There were no vaccination mandates. "Get the vaccine or lose your job" absolutely is a mandate. This really was a thing.

  A private de facto "mandate", not a governmental one. Well, yes, that's what I was getting at: Freedom cuts both ways here. If you choose to not get vaccinated, others should be allowed to, at the very least, choose not to have you around. Immunity is not a private belief, but has severe, sometimes existential implications for other people. I assume, it's pretty much the same with guns in the US. You are allowed to own them, carry them, but not allowed to bring them everywhere, if someone's ruling within private jurisdiction forbids it.

    > not a governmental one. Only because it was struck down by courts. The US government did attempt it, and even told employers to abide by it while they appealed (before it was struck down again).

          I didn't know that. Thanks. This does in fact invalidate my point above.
