An overwhelming majority of older people and people in poor health have voluntarily gotten vaccinated. This is part of the reason why mandates don't seem necessary. Why force young people to get it when they are extremely likely to come out of it just fine, and death is very, very unlikely for them? I don't see the need to force them, when the people in the most vulnerable groups have already gotten the vaccine and therefore have a decent level of protection from covid. You can say that the virus is going to get passed around more often with less people vaccinated, but everyone is getting Omicron regardless right now. This virus will find a way to spread whether people are vaccinated or not.
I don't think you are so stupid that you can't grasp that vaccinating younger people can keep them from catching COVID and then passing it to people who are unable to take the shots.
But then again, perhaps you are.
