I don't understand why everyone is so passionate about mandating vaccines.

One reason that doesn't get talked about enough is that uncontrolled spread amongst the unvaccinated will result in more hospitalizations and death. That utilizes strained healthcare resources, and makes it harder if someone gets cancer, has a heart attack, breaks a leg, etc to get the treatment they need.
The Delta variant is also proving to be a game changer - it's more severe and more contagious, including in younger people. Add in the fact no one under 12 is eligible, and we're looking at more kids in hospital as well.
Honestly, we're all trying to get through this. The unvaccinated are delaying us getting through this. Ignoring the situation, pretending it's not a big deal, is not going to make it go away any faster.
