Besides being proven to work in the real world (not lab), seatbelts aren't comparable to covid measures because it's trivial to go years without every needing to use a seatbelt. You don't need to wear one in busses, trains, back of a car.
I am vaccinated and boostered against Covid, that is the seat belt. Masks are a divisive side show that needs to go away. If you want to sport your double masked N95 go for it, but don’t force me to wear a mask and don’t shame me for it either.
Mental health.
2 years in, highest case counts ever recorded.no proof masks do anything to stop the spread of the disease. Being forced to wear them is the abusive part.
It effects the mental health of the individual. It creates irrational fear of the air you breath and damages non verbal communication with your fellow human beings. Very damaging to the social development of children. And causes bacterial lung infections.
At this point it's just continuing the fueling of mass psychosis and panic. Showing compliance to irrational rules doesn't make anyone safer.
I bet you used to mock fundamental Islamistcs forcing their women to wear masks for the social "greater good".
