I guess people who defend mandatory experimental gene therapy wouldn’t mind making such a ludicrous analogy.

Vinay Prasad MD also has done take downs of this analogy when it comes to mask.

Seatbelts can kill you, just as easily as save you. If you're trapped in your car and it goes into water and you can't get your seatbelt off, dead. Vehicle catches on fire and seatbelt doesn't come off, dead. It can malfunction, and the user can malfunction in a panic. You get hit or hit something just right, your seatbelt can cut you in half (its kind of "inside" you at that point, right?), dead. You can also die, wearing a seatbelt, by something else. You get in a wreck and a pole goes thru your face. Seatbelt didn't save you. But even with all that, wearing a seatbelt is still safer than not wearing a seatbelt.

If our government can mandate vaccines and trample an individual's rights, then why can't it trample the rights of Pfizer and cohorts and force them to pay compensation to vaccine-injured victims? After all, Pfizer is not a first offender and seems to have learned little from its previous million-dollar compensation claims. Throw away the keys on serial killers. These evil bastards must be held accountable.

They can't trample Pfizer because Pfizer owns them.

A forensic audit of Pfizer's books would show who got the money. I cannot recall the outcome of the bribery allegation against Berejiklian. She seemed to scurry off into oblivion quicker than the rat up the drain pipe.
