At this point it’s hard to see vaccine mandates (certainly without alternative options such as proof of recent infection/recovery or recent/regular negative test) as anything but punitive against the unvaccinated.

The only logical reason at this point to mandate vaccines is if you wanted to remove the control group from the great human experiment. Or just see how far you can push your population.

It creates a group to focus people's anger on, it caters to the "do something" crowd. It is a populist measure just like a border wall for example.
My government is sadly too incompetent to get out of panic mode and now has evasion ideas like a central vaccination registers...
