Initially it was to prevent spread of the disease and to minimize hospitalizations at a time when hospitals were overwhelmed. The vaccine still helps with both today but at a lesser extent than a year ago.
In my opinion, a lot of what is happening with vaccination mandates today are businesses deciding their employees are not going to just wait them out. It doesn't matter that the urgent need for everyone to be vaccinated has passed, they don't want to let the hold-outs win. I can understand that, they need to choose a precedent to set for next time - do their mandates have any teeth or can an individual just delay until the mandate is dropped?
