US state vaccine mandates did not influence COVID-19 vaccination rates but reduced uptake of COVID-19 boosters and flu vaccines compared to bans on vaccine restrictions
Abstract
During the COVID-19 pandemic, some US states mandated vaccination for certain citizens. We used state-level data from the CDC to test whether vaccine mandates predicted changes in COVID-19 vaccine uptake, as well as related voluntary behaviors involving COVID-19 boosters and seasonal influenza vaccines. Results showed that COVID-19 vaccine adoption did not significantly change in the weeks before and after states implemented vaccine mandates, suggesting that mandates did not directly impact COVID-19 vaccination. Compared to states that banned vaccine restrictions, however, states with mandates had lower levels of COVID-19 booster adoption as well as adult and child flu vaccination, especially when residents initially were less likely to vaccinate for COVID-19. This research supports the notion that governmental restrictions in the form of vaccination mandates can have unintended negative consequences, not necessarily by reducing uptake of the mandated vaccine, but by reducing adoption of other voluntary vaccines.
Here are a list of states that mandated the vaccine:
Of the 17 states that introduced COVID-19 vaccine mandates for HCWs in mid-2021, we included 16 states in the mandate group (California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Washington, and Washington, DC) and excluded Mississippi, as its mandate was announced more than a month earlier than other states and was only in effect until September 30, 2021.

Discussion
Our results suggest two primary conclusions about the influence of US legislation mandating COVID-19 vaccination and legislation formally banning COVID-19 vaccine requirements. One is that mandates did not significantly influence residents’ COVID-19 vaccine uptake. Although readers should note that we only had sufficient power to detect medium to large effects, the results offer evidence that mandates did not substantially impact targeted vaccination behavior. A second key conclusion is that relative to state legislation banning vaccine requirements, state COVID-19 vaccination mandates had unintended consequences involving reduced adoption of COVID-19 boosters and seasonal flu vaccines, especially when initial COVID-19 vaccination was low. The results from this project help to clarify inconsistencies and extend prior research on COVID-19 and vaccination mandates more generally. Despite the freedom threat posed by vaccine mandates, our findings complement prior research by using population-level epidemiological data to show that mandates do not reduce adoption of the required vaccine (8) but of other voluntary ones (2–4).
More broadly, the results underscore the challenges of promoting public health through vaccination. That the imposition of state COVID-19 mandates was not associated with a reduction in vaccination may stem from a reasonable desire to retain employment or avoid social sanctions despite limitations to freedom. The data from this project indicate that people responded to the limitation to their freedom that stems from vaccination mandates by being less likely to adopt COVID-19 boosters and influenza vaccines relative to states banning vaccination requirements. In this way, legislation designed to protect the public’s freedom to choose whether to be vaccinated for COVID-19 appears to have been more productive in encouraging related vaccinations. These findings provide evidence to support the concerns of scholars and practitioners that selective vaccination mandates can have harmful—or at least unintended—consequences for public health, which need consideration when creating such policies (11, 12)

I will never take ANY vaccine.
There is so much online stuff about viruses and JN-1 that it all gets very confusing, added to which everything directs you towards vaccines as the only way out of the solution, vaccines which in turn injure and kill - if the medical establishment don't push vaccines, they are deregistered and not allowed to practice medicine.
We need stability, from which we can order our lives accordingly. My understanding of JN-1 is that it is natural to nature and no particular threat in itself and bird flu which has been around for millions of years, does not jump to Humans yet, just like viruses which have been around for millions of years too - they did not just happen - but because the vaccine makers have got everyone motivated to vaccinate from past forced Covid virus scares, there is a mad panic to get vaccinated for any and every new virus concocted, to make you even more gullible and maleable and vulnerable, it seems to me.
The best advice I saw on substack - the natural salt water cure, when you think you are coming down with something: 3 minutes from preparation to job done: Mix one heaped teaspoon of table (or Iodine) salt in a mug of warm clean water, cup a hand and sniff or snort the entire mugful up your nose, in small lots, spitting out anything which comes down into your mouth. If burning sensation, then you have a virus, so continue morning noon and night, or more often if you want, until the burning sensation goes away (2-3 minutes) then blow out your nose with toilet paper and flush away, washing your hands afterwards, until when you do this simple cure, you don't have any burning sensation at all, when you flush - job done. Also swallow a couple of mouthfuls of salt water and if you have burning in your lungs, salt killing virus and pneumonia, there too.It washes behind the eyes, the brain bulb, brain stem (Long Covid), the tubes to the inner ears and the top of the throat which is at a point roughly level with half way up your ears and not where your mouth is and it goes down the back of your throat, when infected there too.
The author has been doing this simple cure for over 31 years and is never sick from viruses and I'm not either now,too.
Simply put, if the inside of your nose is dry and crusty, you are OK, if your nose is runny, you really need to do a salt water sniffle as quickly as possible AND THERE IS STILL CLEAN SEA WATER, TO USE INSTEAD.
Nobody has been injured or killed by the author's above salt water cure
It is what I do and continue to do now and always.
Say No to vaccines and do this instead, a nice, safe, natural cure, which the old people in India, where the Elephants are, have been doing for hundreds of years - and Alberta University in tests, gave it 100% effective. Better "something" than nothing, for your next virus.
