In 1956, Ford introduced the seatbelt as an upgrade and only 2% of buyers opted to pay $27 to have seatbelts in their cars.
In 1983, fewer than 15% of American’s said they used seatbelts consistently.
In 1984, States started passing laws requiring citizens to wear a seatbelt while driving.
Later that year, LA Times published a poll stating that even though it was illegal, less than 45% of Americans wore seatbelts.
Another poll said 65% of Americans oppose the mandatory seatbelt laws.
In 1986 ,The Chicago Tribune wrote “In this country, saving freedom is more important than trying to regulate lives through legislation.”
People in the 1980’s argued it was safer to be thrown out of their car than wear a seatbelt. They cut their seatbelts out their cars.
A person in Massachusetts started a petition to ban seatbelts and got 45,000 signatures.
A Florida man told the Florida Sun “We don’t feel we should be forced to buckle up and have a police officer sent in by the state to make sure we’re buckled up.“
Think about how stupid you would feel if you were one of those people in the 1980’s arguing against seatbelts.
If you are arguing against masks, you are that stupid.
Just wear a mask. It's not that hard.
