Not to mention the high covid survival rates, particularly among the under-70s. (The true survival rates are even higher because this is only among those listed rightly or wrongly as "cases.")
Or that one's likelihood of dying from covid is comparable to one's likelihood of dying in the next 12 months.
Or that Pfizer's vaccine is essentially an experimental one with a worrying level of adverse side effects.
Why not sell people on the benefits of the vaccine using hard data? Demonstrate that those benefits outweigh the risks.
If the vaccine is so great, why use coercion? Shouldn't it sell itself?
And @jerryagar1010 can it even be shown that by taking the vaccine one makes other people safer? If you have that data, why not share it? Or does it not exist?
Coercion isn't an alternative to a mandatory covid vaccine, IT IS a mandatory covid vaccine.

Here we have the total number of deaths in Canada over the past four years. The most recent 12 months of data do not suggest a spike in deaths relative to historical trends.
Zooming out nationally over the past decade, we see that it's perfectly natural for deaths in one year to exceed deaths in the previous year.
Some would call you an "anti-vaxxer" for raising these questions, but it's apparently ok if it's a scientist quoted by CTV News saying the exact same thing.
No data suggesting transmission is weakened. Emphasis on symptom reduction.
We'll all be part of a historic mass clinical trial to determine if this vaccine actually works at preventing transmission.
Curiously, timing will align with the natural seasonal recession of covid as we approach the end of the coronavirus and influenza seasons.
