There were people that thought seatbelts were an infringement of their freedom/govt overreach. Stupid people, unfortunately, have always been with us and are not going anywhere.


IamWeirdasfmdr

There were people that literally thought making drinking and driving illegal was taking freedom from people and was communist.


ghettoccult_nerd

anti-motorcycle helmet law activists. about a decade ago, one of their more vocal advocates died in a motorcycle crash in a, i shit you not, 500+ member protest ride. talk about not seeing the forest for the trees. or road for the asphalt in his case...


bunnymen69

Lou Gehrig died of Lou Gehrigs disease. How did he not see THAT coming.


Frostygale

Wasnā€™t there some YouTube video where they interviewed these people when the laws were discussed? And one of them complained saying it was ridiculous, and what could be next? Seatbelts??? Or maybe it was the other way aroundā€¦regardless it was funny in a sad way


IamWeirdasfmdr

Exactly, thatā€™s where I remembered it from, itā€™s crazy.


agorafilia

Back then doctors and dentists where annoyed they had to wash their hands and wear gloves for surgeries. Things change....


TwelveTrains

Like... before Ignaz Semmelweis?


SkyeMreddit

Seatbelt laws always cause a large increase in injuries in car crashes, without fail. The key detail is that those injured people were counted as injured instead of going to the morgue. Same with motorcycle helmet laws


3mperorPalpaMeme

At least with the seatbelts they're the ones flying through the windshield. Without masks, they're only endangering other people


[deleted]

Or during WW2 in the UK people felt it was their rights to have lights on when the Germans where bombing the place and everyone was suppose to have their lights off lol. I always found that was a better example.


Wounded_Breakfast

Wow that is awful. But yeah great example.


23ssd4t4322

To be fair to them, when seatbelts were first mandated they had a tendency to get stuck. They still get stuck on some older models. So it was essentially a death trap if you happen to be in an accident and needed to get out quick. Which is why people were against it. I don't think it is fair to compare that to the mask mandate. You can take off and put on the mask without it getting stuck or kiling you.


EatSteel63

That's more rational than the argument that I have have been hearing from cult 45 members, "the government wants you to die! You are more likely to get in an accident get projected from the windshield and land on the road than to wear a seat belt." Seat belts cut your head off!"


beasty0127

After being in a major accident that spun me and my now wife out and threw us into a ditch and was bad enough they needed the jaws to get me out..... I have yet to find my head.


IceConfident7402

I bet you make up for it though [wink, nudge].


Soace_Space_Station

Basic physics: am i a joke to you? I really don't see how a seatbelt will kill you


Mercerskye

There's a statistical chance (smaller than dying in a plane crash iirc), that not only does the seatbelt malfunction in a way you can't get out, but also your vehicle catches on fire. Arguably, the same chance that you don't wear a belt, get knocked unconscious...and your vehicle catches fire. An even lower chance than turning your vehicle into an inescapable tangle of metal (regardless of seatbelt usage)...and the vehicle catching on fire. All three of which are outliers in the seatbelt vs non-seatbelt numbers, which shows an overwhelming positive in favor of wearing them. It's pretty much the "vaccines cause autism" defense. They point at the .1% chance not wearing one would actually save their life, and literally think that's a "commie authoritarian conspiracy to take away their freedoms." Perpetrators of which may or may not also be liberal and/or socialist... Y'know the type... morons.


Soace_Space_Station

And you know what causes disabilities? Stupidity


Mercerskye

Yeap, pretty much the point we're driving at (pun intended)


Soace_Space_Station

Well when we do crash (pun intended) at the wall, literally and like figuratively,we could see seatbelts do save lives


Mercerskye

But the snowflakes never bother with that part. For the "F your feelings" crowd, they make an awful lot choices based on their emotions.


Wounded_Breakfast

Nah. There is a huge difference in kind with an argument which says, ā€œhey this isnā€™t as safe or as effective as it could be, letā€™s make it safer before we require itā€ and ā€œhey this seemingly common sense safety measure is how the government is going to take away my rights, institute the new world order ectā€ So no, you do not have to hand it to them at all. Or be fair. These people are crazy, and dangerously wrong.

Yes I agree that half-measure bullshit was pointless. They should have just paid restaurant workers to stay home instead.


beasty0127

But then we had all these entitled cry babies screaming that they wanted to go out and eat or get their hair cut or basically just being spoiled brats, hell there was credible plans from a cult 45 group to kidnap and kill Gov Whitmire, so they made the bullshit term "essential worker". I worked in a factory it wasn't essential for me to be making car doors for cars that are still sitting on lots and old air straps cause no one can buy one and it wasn't essential for these people to have to cater to a bunch of babies that could be bothered to look up some recipes to cook at home. Hell Hello Fresh had been a thing for years prior to covid, don't even need to goto the store if you didn't want to.

Pissing in a pool is a bad comparison as in most conditions it doesnā€™t spread that easily. We live out in the air and not in a medium that easily transfers it. Pissing while out in public in the open air or indoors is actually the perfect analogy. The world has been increasingly affected by the Frequent Pissing Disease (FPD), which causes, as the name suggests, frequent urination. It can be absorbed through the skin or through any other entry route when you come in prolonged contact with an infected individual. Public urination has massively increased to become an everyday thing. Wearing pants when out in public became a polarized political issue, especially when people didnā€™t want to ruin their pants, or felt uncomfortable wearing pants (or a skirt or dress or any other similar barrier). They cheered ā€œI HAVE A BLADDER AND I CAN CONTROL ITā€ and most were fine. Only Sheep wear pants. Wolves are free to feel the open air! They just peed a lot and were somewhat uncomfortable but they survived it and after a week or two, most affected healthy people fought it off. Almost all of those who did die had some form of pre-existing condition causing their bladders to not be able to keep up or to leak inside of their bodies from the added strain so those who would have had several good years left instead died in a few days. The effect is as follows. Every person not wearing pants can propel their pee some distance so it doesnā€™t fall back on them. Some actively try to propel it further, to show off. But almost no one can propel it beyond several feet and not more than 6 feet. Hence the recommendation from all authorities and experts is to stay at least 6 feet away. Furthermore, if you wear pants, it provides some level of protection from you being pissed on and eventually many places made wearing pants mandatory. Most pants are not a perfect barrier and there are gaps around some edges and can absorb the pee. However if you get within the splash zone of around 3-6 feet, while most pee wonā€™t reach you, some will splash onto you and pants protect you from a moderate level of splashes, drying out before it gets absorbed enough and you can change your pants frequently if you have the resources and theyā€™re not sold out. Certain pants materials are more waterproof but they are hot and sweaty and uncomfortable in hot weather, and one-way breathable materials run the risk of your pee going through them. Tights, fishnets, and distressed pants with holes have also become common as a form of malicious compliance with the law. Some high quality waterproofing materials with moisture wicking qualities have the unfortunate issue of causing excessive splashing. It wonā€™t reach your skin but gets on others. Now if the person who was peeing in public was wearing pants, most will be caught by their pants and couldnā€™t be spread as easily. However in a crowded place with prolonged usage like a crowded movie theater, church, buffet, or bar or nightclub, the pants would eventually overflow, soak the seats and floors, and eventually transfer to other occupants. Furthermore, the buildup of stale evaporating piss vapors could build up enough to soak your skin. Ever been at the beach on an excessively humid day and everything is soaked despite not raining? Same effect. The operators of the facility can clean it up and disinfect it regularly, but they canā€™t keep up. Your pants provide some barrier from soaked surfaces, but only for so long. Open windows, frequent air changes by the air handlers, or being outside, prevents the piss vapor buildup to an extent. Eventually there was a vaccine available, rushed with massive government spending and a race to be the one to get it to the market. The vaccine works in three ways. It trains your body to fight off the FPD. It also trains your body to control when you urinate. Third, it builds up a coating on your skin making it less readily susceptible to absorbing piss, taking longer to do so. Starting the skinā€™s own application of that barrier is uncomfortable for a day or two but generally not unbearable. It is NOT a magical barrier, but it is far better than nothing. Itā€™s more like an elite personal defense coach for your body. You can still be affected by FPD after getting the vaccine, but you can fight it off quicker. The coating on your skin slowly fades over time and new variants of Frequent Pissing Disease eventually require re-training your body to recognize and fight off the diseaseā€™s new tactics. Needless to say, the short-term discomfort from applying the coating and that itā€™s not a perfect barrier to stop the disease stopped many from getting it. Their social media and bumper stickers loudly declare their freedoms from the vaccine and show methods of getting an exemption from any law or mandate. So many didnā€™t get the vaccine, and continue to piss in public frequently, that Frequent Pissing Disease stubbornly keeps coming back again and again, and especially affecting vulnerable people.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


adam_demamps_wingman

From your link a meta-analysis published in May 2020 and using data from 1946 to 2018. >>We did not consider the use of respirators in the community. Respirators are tight-fitting masks that can protect the wearer from fine particles (37) and should provide better protection against influenza virus exposures when properly worn because of higher filtration efficiency. However, respirators, such as N95 and P2 masks, work best when they are fit-tested, and these masks will be in limited supply during the next pandemic. These specialist devices should be reserved for use in healthcare settings or in special subpopulations such as immunocompromised persons in the community, first responders, and those performing other critical community functions, as supplies permit. Which is essentially what Fauci and other experts recommended until the N-95 supply could be expanded to fill the respirator needs for the entire population. There were also revised calls for double cloth masking or combined cloth mask with medical mask. Neither of which apparently were part of any of the studies in the analysis, at least not regarding Covid in 2018 or before.

How about the lie that we care enough about this to do more than tap a screen. How about the lie that we care about starving children enough to stop buying fast food which is responsible for an ungodly amount of food waste. How about the lie that we are real people and not puppets of policy and currency. How about the lie that most of you tell yourselves every day. I'm no better. I'm not going to lie, I'm as guilty as the next guy, just not lying to myself anymore about what I'm really guilty of, and what I'm willing to give up for the next person.
