So they have a "potential" benefit. And I agree with your right to wear one. Everyone has the right to wear a seat belt if they choose, but the logic is sketchy. Flimsy in fact. When humans are allowed to drive motorcycles on the road, especially in states that don't require a helmet, seat belt laws expose themselves as mostly a control mechanism for those that make the rules.

It might not be long until fines are given for not wearing masks? There is talk of which I'm sure you are aware, it is being suggested that travelers will need a vaccine passport to fly.

Seat belt LAWS? You changed the parameters. I am 100% against them. Just an excuse for the cops to fish.

On the flip side
Driving and flying are not rights
They are privileges
Nobody has the right to fly or drive
Behave yourself, follow the rules which is incredibly easy and you can fly and drive.

Neither is transporting weed across state lines.

A driver not wearing a belt doesn't endanger other people. But driving under the influence does.

That is clearly an omitted word. When Harry Reid used to talk, I think it was obvious that he no longer knew what the words meant anymore.

Anti-vaxxers have an ally.

On February 2, a message posted on the Telegram channel of Iranian Cleric Ayatollah Abbas Tabrizian warned his 209,000-plus followers not to get vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19).

“Do not approach those who have been vaccinated. Because they have microchips, they have been genetically modified,” the message attributed to Tabrizian read.

“[T]hey are outside of the human race, they act like controlled robots, they have lost the gene for faith, morality, and decency, and they have become homosexuals.

You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

"CDC Begins Recommending Wearing Two Masks"


They are getting closer to my suggestion of wearing supplied air when in public.
