I believe the mandates do increase some uptake. The uptake path does not lead to 100 .. it leads to a ceiling. The smaller the group of unvaccinated, the more resolute that remaining group will now be. Mandates are likely picking off a few who decided it wasn't worth it (unfortunately) to hold the line. It probably bumped up the ceiling. Unconstitutionally, unethically, and coercively.

You'll likely see more fraud and false positives entering the system at this point as well.

Hold the Line.

Also, I'll add - people (voters), whether getting the shot or not, will not forget this. Ever. In an honest election, this will pick off a chunk of voters who would have voted left, otherwise.

My mother-in-law is a 68-year old Russian immigrant living in California who last Fall was talking about what a "mean man Trump" was. Now she's watching FoxNews and TikTok and telling us not to get the shots because they're dangerous and Biden is a senile old bastard and should be removed from office. She is a retired nurse and is worried about her family taking the shots. The transformation has been remarkable.
