Colleges and schools required compliance, and other than a few protests most seemed to go along with it. They now believe that these shots and masks are required and work effectively, and if someone else doesn't get the shots or wear a mask then they themselves are at risk - apparently the shots don't work for you unless I get them as well. Take the comment in the linked twitter feed for example:

I was masked and vaxed still got it at the end of the convention. I don’t think everyone there was truly honest. What needs fixed is who enters the ballroom first for events no one had any clue it starts with Super Sponsors, sponsor then general admission."
This idiot believes that it wasn't his mask that failed, or the shots he took that didn't do anything, it was someone else's fault that he got sick. That's the kind of stupid leaps of logic you're dealing with. Furcons would rather just declare martial law instead of trying to be a rational, logical entity. It's cheaper that way, at least for the con. That way they can shoot down these twitter cowboys that claim they got sick because other people didn't get their shots.
Comic-con goers seem to be older (at least to me,) and probably don't care. I personally attend amateur radio conventions, and no one at those seem to care either - but it's generally an older audience.
