>the 8000 were most likely caused by vaccine legal mandates
No, that's not true at all. EEOC didn't give the OK to employers to enforce vaccine requirements until May 28th. At that point 41% of the USA was fully vaccinated, 51% with a single dose. Now, 4 months later, 55% people are fully vaccinated and 62% have had a single dose. Therefore most of the doses that have been done went out before the idea of a vaccine mandate was even on the table.
