This study is already being cited in the mainstream media as proof that vaccine mandates had no effect on vaccination uptake, but this conclusion is misleading, since the present paper considers only one kind of a mandate that could be easily evaded in the studied cities (not the federally imposed employment mandates). The author acknowledges that vaccine mandates in Europe and on the country level did cause a significantly higher uptake. The kind of mandates we had in Australia were radically stronger then city-level indoor mandates for going to museums, gyms, indoor sporting events or restaurants, which could be evaded by going to nearby places where mandates did not apply; this was not allowed either in EU or Australia. So why is the corporate media misrepresenting the results of this study as if it were applicable to all vaccine mandates everywhere? I suggest it is because this misleading conclusion implies that nobody was killed by the mandates because the mandates did not manage to coerce anybody to take the vaccine against their voluntary consent. It is their get out of jail card.
