Yes actually, I wear one by choice and for my wife's peace of mind, but I think its a stupid thing to be fined for
That being said, the seatbelt analogy is a piss-poor metaphor for what was going on during the pandemic as seatbelts do not have the negative side effects that masking, isolating, and the vax have been shown to have
Such as?
Do your own research like the rest of us, don't ask me to do it for you. You've had 3 years, its not my fault you spent it with your head buried in the sand.
"Funny how you don’t have a real rebuttal so you’ve resorted to childish drawings of pig shit"
You realize, to the rest of us, the far-right "do the research" bullshit is actually worse and more childish than actual drawings of pig shit, right?
Doing you're own research and learning to filter out bs is more childish than following narratives pushed by MSM like sheep and responding with pictures of feces when presented with an opposing point of view? Says more about you than it does about me
"Doing you're(sic) own research" is a dogwhistle of far right anti-intellectualism. It's saying "fuck facts, it's all a big conspiracy".
With all due respect, his reply to you was dramatically more effective than me sending you facts and being reasonable and polite.
It sure does. That I'm stupid enough to think that I can convince flat-earthers that the world is round merely because I've made a point of becoming educated, reading studies, and applying my scientific background to separate the conspiracy theories from the chaff.

I never mentioned flat earth, and J don't believe in the flat earth. There is tons more evidence for the inefficacy of the covid vax than there is evidence for flat earth. Don't pull out the craziest sounding stuff to try and disprove something else. The umbrella retort of pointing at somebody and screaming "conspiracy theorist!1!!!!!1!!" as if everything you don't agree with falls into the exact same category as flat earth and the like is piss poor way to make your point and only gains you brownie points with like-minded individuals (although I know brownie points with like-minded individuals - aka fake internet points on a reddit knock-off - is all anyone here cares about)
