"it's just a mandate, mandates are not law".

On the surface this is a correct and perfectly logical statement. But know why I don't like it?

What happens if our corrupt and illegitimate Congress makes it a law? Now we have shot ourselves in the foot by implying we have to follow it because it's law. I don't care if they make a law that says you have to get the jab or face a firing squad, I'm not gonna follow unjust laws.

It kinda reminds me of the line I heard a lot and have even been guilty of saying myself "it's not even FDA approved"... Until it was. Then what? We all had to change our line of thinking. Good logic does not require this kind of tweaking.

Maybe I'm just being pedantic but I wanted to give my two cents. Thoughts on this?
