Please don't cite nations with 33K population as evidence of global public health efficacy. Especially if 50% of the people in country are from outside the country on a daily basis.
Focus instead on large nations.
I'm not sure what the detailed semantics of "is pro-vax but anti-mandate an anti-vax" position. There's a distinct difference from "anybody should be able to get the vax to protect themselves" and "we should impose mandates because vaccines are most effective when 95+% of the population takes them." If the latter were an extremely strong scientific position (IE, if there was a guarantee of herd immunity at 95% rate) then I think it would be a slam dunk.
I believe the mandates would be done when their effectivity is over. It's not like the people who want to impose these things are doing it because they enjoy exerting power over people. Anyway, there weren't any real large scale mandates forcing people to get vaccinated, so it's kind of moot?
There is a mandate now, in Austria, compulsory for anyone over 18. It would be interesting to compare outcomes in few months with Denmark, which went the completely opposite way.

If you are not a fulltime medical professional I would recommend not armchairing these things.
