Safety belt laws went through a minor controversy many years ago but are now accepted as a legal obligation to operate a motor vehicle. If belt laws weren’t passed, likely thousands upon thousands would be unnecessarily dead. It wasn’t debated as a political issue, and although car manufacturers resisted belt installation, scientific facts and stats drove governments to treat it as a public health initiative. Masks should be considered the safety belt of the face, providing protection for the wearer, but more so for those around him/her.
