Oh you mean the mandates the Supreme Court just struck down?[1]

I am vaccinated but I stand with my brothers and sisters who demand a choice. Had it been mandated and had I known then what I know now, I would have not taken it.

Genuinely curious about "had I known then what I know now." What recent information tipped your decision from getting the vaccine to refusing it?
The supreme court struck down part of the mandate and were open to the idea of it being employment/situationally specific (e.g., nurses).

There's also no pushback against vaccination requirements for school and universities, but I'm sure that will be coming soon

Now you are moving goalposts.

'strong legal ground' yet the Supreme Court disagreed with you.

You can posit about the future all you want, it won't change the reality of the present.

Now I no longer believe you are commenting in good faith, you are simply pushing an agenda.

State level mandates are considered to be constitutional, it's the broad federal mandate without employment specialization that wasn't considered constitutional.

This isn't moving goal posts but providing context.
