I'm just looking at it from common sense. How could the mark be taken accidentally? Scripture sets up the antichrist as a powerful, global figure who draws people to his new religious views. Once he gains power, he orders the mark be taken, as a show of solidarity. It's truly a "choose your side" decision. Christ/Church vs antichrist. Very similar to Moses vs pharaoh. Both sides work miracles to awe the people but God's miracles are real, while the antichrists'/Pharaoh's are not. There isn't a middle ground. Mark or no mark.
We're not even close to this type of thing in our day. The jab has no political nor religious significance, only moral significance (abortion cells). And there's no antichrist/leader to order the mark.
