The "libertarians" supporting government or corporate coercive medical experimentation are the reason why the libertarian movement - even among libertarians like me - is a joke.
And, without derailing myself, everyone who has done basic reading knows that the COVID vaccines are experimental - with zero long-term safety data. This is undisputed fact. And, until 2020, everyone in the Western world agreed that the final legacy of Dr. Josef Mengele should be a universal ban on medical experimentation without informed consent.
Justifying coercive invasions of bodily autonomy by pointing to a practical increase in "overall liberty" is the slipperiest of slopes. By that logic, you could justify incinerating every retiree or disabled person on the planet - saying that the survivors would experience more "overall liberty".
The mandates aren't going to drive faith or compliance in the system. They'll lead more political division and, inevitably, contribute to political violence.
If the outcome of losing a presidential election means the difference between whether or not you lose your job... or get injected against your will with an experimental therapeutic... or get grabbed by law enforcement... Why would you trust democracy to work? At what point do people become so afraid of being ruled by the other side that using bullets becomes more attractive than ballots?
Western liberal democracy worked a lot better when people had confidence that, regardless of the outcome of an individual election, 51% of the country wouldn't get to violate the human rights of the other 49%.
