One could argue that mandatory vaccination laws, which are being passed in some states, are a form of force. I think that these laws are good and useful, but they do point out that even Westerners need coercion at times. They also point out a potential way to apply 'force' to the remaining pockets, which is to introduce vaccination requirements into international treaties, either as requirements for trade deals or something else. The UN would probably be the proper vessel for this, rather than any individual Western country, although certainly those countries could spearhead the effort to make this happen.
