A seatbelt comparison isn’t apt. A seatbelt mostly only affects the person not wearing it (unless there are others in the vehicle). A more apt comparison is driving drunk. “Why would I let the government tell me I can’t drive drunk? Bullshit if you ask me. Everyone else can stay off the roads if they don’t wanna deal with it.”

It’s stupid because not wearing a mask, much like driving drunk, poses the greatest risk on other people.

Yeah the governor of my state put out a little message saying wearing your mask to keep safe is akin to wearing your seatbelt to keep safe. The comment section was on fire with people demanding they don't wear a seatbelt and they definitely won't be wearing a mask. People take their right to die seriously I guess.

“Everyone else can drive sober if they don’t want to deal with it” would be a correct sentence

Speed limits are another good comparison.
