> Should we be mandated to do something that while a good thing appears to infringe on personal freedom

Depends on what it is, the effort it takes on the part of the individual, and how much the state needs to intrude on privacy to ensure compliance.

Traffic lights infringe on personal freedom. It doesn't take individuals much effort to stop at a red light and start again when it turns green. It's easy for the state to enforce.

Diet and exercise mandates are hard to comply with, hard to enforce. The immediate benefits are limited to the individual while the societal benefits are more diffuse.

Childhood vaccination requirements are more like traffic lights than diet and exercise mandates.

> Some of Dr. Ladapo's recommendations can certainly be viewed that way

That's a an awfully charitable way to say "quack moron grifter". He's compared vaccination requirements to slavery there's really no other words to describe him.
