Please explain how your logic differs from that in the quote.

You may be reaching for something like "I have no confidence in public health mandates of any kind, based on our experience so far... therefore I'm inclined to not believe vaccine mandates will be effective."

But you seem to be leaping to say that vaccine mandates are not effective in preventing transmission ... because some regions are discontinuing requiring masks... This is very confused.

I do acknowledge the benefits of public health mandates in certain dire situations, i was simply trying to say comparing data between different places with different degrees of restriction can be helpful determining how beneficial those restrictions are. You can do this with vaccines as well if you wish, comparing countries performance and vaccination rates against each other.
