It isn't even a mandate. It's a (strong) recommendation by medical experts, some of whom head up some government agencies and are certainly being amplified by the government. I understand wanting to ignore government recommendations sometimes. But in this case, every single one of my personal health care providers agree... Get the vaccine.
At it's worst the risk is so much lower than those accompanying the virus.
As more are vaccinated, but not enough, it will find ways to live, especially in unvaccinated. And of course the longer it takes to get to those critical numbers, the more boosters we'll need, the longer this whole thing goes on.
Far as I can tell it's a strong "won't be me" along with fallout from the extreme polarization we've been pushed toward. In some cases it might be "I want them all to die" since it seems to be the poor, non-white communities hardest hit.
I'm surprised (a little) someone whose job involves stepping into lots of random homes is reluctant.
