We don't need to go down that social slippery slope.

Let those who are pro-vaccine get vaccinated. It will protect them from the covid. Let those who choose no vaccine the freedom to do so.
If you got the vaccine, then why worry.....you're protected (supposedly).
It's a long way from mask mandates to "death camps"
That's like saying seat belt mandates lead to road tests every 6 months which leads to mandatory participation in a roadside chain gang

Do you know why the courts upheld seat belt laws, even for a single person with no family driving alone and getting in a single car accident? It was because the cost of any excess injury that was incurred due to a lack of seat belt use would ultimately be shared by other people, whether Medicare, Medicaid, No-fault, or private insurance. Hence it was ruled constitutional and legal.

Not a big leap to conclude that mask mandates would be ultimately upheld under the same principle.
