They just casually threw mandatory vaccines out like it was nbd.

What other mandatory things will I need to do for the government?

Mandatory registration for war! Mandatory birth control! Mandatory drug test! Mandatory lie detector test about how honest you were on your taxes!

How easy it makes it to participate in society...

is a double edged sword...

with how easy it is to shut them out of society with a flip of the switch if they don't comply.

Conscription registration is already mandatory in countries that have it, and indeed was in the US when the draft existed.

Registration in case there is a draft is still basically mandatory in the US: https://www.sss.gov/

I know. And I like how it's difficult to register and difficult to verify if one is registered. I don't want a database that forces people to bend to the government or be shut out of society.
