If they don't mandate, people will die. If they do mandate, potentially less people will die. By mandating before there's some kind of irrefutable proof that it'll help, they're saying that saving people's lives is worth any social or economic headache.
Also: your government is, I take it, some form of representative democracy? Saying you don't trust the government is identical to saying you don't trust the people of your nation. My suggestion is to try to fix that rather than just accept it blithely.
edit: Haha, I love how quickly I get downvoted for giving rational views of cost/benefit and politics.
