I don't understand why people keep asking this like some kind of magic bullet.

Obviously there is a governmental body that has the authority to do this wherever you are from. And in a democracy that governmental body will be acting based on the will of the people. Even if you disagree that the executive has that authority, the courts have the authority to interpret if they do. And the legislature ultimately has the authority to override it.

In the United States if we all voted for it we could have mandates for every single vaccine ever created. But there is barely enough political will for this one. And that's only because COVID is much more of a threat than anything else at the moment.

Is it that hard to understand that many people are uncomfortable or unclear where the the line is drawn between civil liberties and state powers/majority rule. You might say that covid mandates are clearly inside the lines, but that isn't a declaration of where the line is.
