"Several Australian states have used mandates to drive up COVID vaccination
rates. Governments justified the mandates on the basis of preventing the spread
of disease and protecting the vulnerable.

Now many states are rolling back these mandates, with Queensland removing the
requirement to show you’re vaccinated before entering cafes, pubs, galleries
and other public spaces from tomorrow.

It would be nice to think that when mandates have served their purpose, they
can be removed. In practice, removing mandates may affect public attitudes
about the importance of vaccination and the likelihood of getting boosters."
