(56,071 posts)3. Mentioning seatbelts at all is counterproductive
Even though the courts have approved seat belt laws, there's still a debate about personal freedom, and that's exactly the kind of debate anti-maskers think they're in the right about. Their view is that it's their choice to expose themselves to the virus or not.
The point to emphasize is the contagious aspect, that they are the ones spreading it to others. That's biological terrorism.
If sick people came here from the Middle East and refused to wear masks, these same anti-maskers would instantly call them biological terrorists.
