"Day one" for vaccine mandates was before you were born. Workers in many professions have been required to have vaccines for roughly as long as vaccines have existed, whenever not being vaccinated presents a risk to their clients, the public, their colleagues, or their ability to continue doing their work. You can't even start med school in Canada without proof of most childhood vaccines, plus TB immunity.

The only thing that's new with Covid is that Covid spreads so rapidly that it's become an occupational health issue for other professions as well, and a bunch of idiots have adopted their refusal to get vaccinated as a matter of personal and political identity and therefore refuse to change their minds in the face of new information. Even that's nothing new: The US Supreme Court ruled in favour of vaccine mandates in the early 1900's for the purpose of trying to get smallpox under control.

The government should not mandate what medicine an individual needs to take. It's none of the governments business. It should be up to the individual. I don't care if it's the vaccine or a single ibuprofen. It's wrong.
