It’s Groundhog Day. What better way to celebrate an unscientific, ridiculous made-up day than with a Scott Adams tweet?

One way to know seat belts don't work is they are mandated.

I can understand why people would take my advice. After all, I’m a cartoonist. Like Scott Adams, I’m occasionally funny but unlike Scott Adams, I don’t have a massive social media following. If I did have 800,000 Twitter followers I would have the authority and certain gravitas to mock people who were reluctant to put an experimental drug into their bodies. [/sarc]

Like so many Hollywood actors, Adams did do that. I mean, he created “Dilbert,” he must have known that an mRNA drug, developed at “warp speed” would save the planet, with zero side effects. And see no problems associated with mandating a drug, and requiring it for healthy men and women in the military but not requiring it for Congress — makes sense, right? Natural immunity? Pfff.

Scott Adams mocked “low-hanging fruit.” It’s pretty hilarious mocking people who chose to say things like:

1. Do cloth masks actually save lives? How?
2. Why are masks required when you walk into a restaurant, but not when you sit down?
3. 6 feet distance. Where did that come from? Is there any “science” supporting that?
4. Public health officials with no medical education turned police into COVID cops. What’s the science behind closing open-air parks?
5. You can catch COVID on hot beaches?
6. Joggers not wearing masks, are a threat?
7. One-way arrows pointing down grocery store aisles – is there some science to back this up?
8. Wipe down all your groceries with sanitizers. Why?
9. Shaking a hand is dangerous? Why?
10. COVID Vaccines are safe. Kinda safe. Mostly safe. Ok – the shots are not really “vaccines,” they don’t stop you from getting it, but they keep you from dying… usually.

The biggest obstacle to vaccinations appears to be the belief that vaccinations have an unknown long term risk whereas the virus does not.

We know the virus has nasty long haul risks for up to one-third of those who get it. Is the long term risk of vaccination higher than THAT?

Groundhog Day is the appropriate day for a new Scott Adams flex. Is Adams mocking all mandates as stupid? Is he saying some mandates, like seatbelts, are a good thing and that’s the same as a mandated COVID jab? Maybe he’s having a side effect from his COVID jab. Likely it’s something else. Like a superiority complex.

The last time I checked seatbelts weren’t injected into my bloodstream. I did some Googling and I couldn’t find a single story where a company mandated “seatbelts worn in an office,” or you’d be fired. Not one story about a mass of people mocking non-seatbelt wears in an office building. No seatbelts on the beach? Weird.

Remember the “winter of death” that never happened?

How about the threats from various Twitter “smart-guys” that if you didn’t take the jab that it would be mandated — as in they would knock on your door.

Buckle up, America…
