If COVID-10 vaccination strongly immunized against infection and transmission, I could see a valid argument for vaccine mandates.
The problem is that it doesn't. If this were a Polio vaccine (and Polio becomes an epidemic again), I think there is a different argument.
Sure. And if a new black plague comes around, I'd gladly support the military going around to hold people down and put the vaccine in them. This is why I try not to parrot the abortion "my body, my choice" line when talking about vaccination, because I do support most vaccine mandates. This one, however, is a different story, and thankfully even the CDC sees that supporting a mandate for the kids would mean chaos and horror for the country.
