Face masks and seat belts
There are distinct parallels between people being told to wear masks for the pandemic and being told to wear seat belts in vehicles. Some of the same arguments were raised way back when seat belts became suggested and then mandatory.
Health/safety experts and governments tell us to use both masks and seat belts.
Both are easy to use.
Both are minimally problematic for the user.
Both have been shown to be effective in protecting the user and bystanders.
A few perverse individuals refuse to comply.
The rest of us are left wondering about some people’s motivations.
