Look closer at the year 2021. The state had practically zero power to enforce any sort of mandate, and they knew it quite well. They knew precisely one half of the country was waiting to run to the cameras at the very first sign of anything resembling a mandate... And they did.
All of the mandates were put into place by businesses. First towards customers, then towards people who could be corcered into giving up medical records under threat of starvation and homelessness. You know... Employees.
Government will never ever directly take control of anything. They will get private business to do it, because that guarantees the ancap tards will see absolutely nothing wrong with it.
