Look at where we're at today and how we look back at anti-seatbelters from back then.

The mother of my 1st born was anti-Thalidomide.
Notice how suddenly it's like we're back to 1960 when the exact same arguments were being made against giving pregnant women Thalidomide for morning sickness?

However! How different is this from what the 'greatest generation' kids went through during ww2?
Constant messages of fear and death? Yep.
Constantly being told people are dangerous and to keep away? not quite the same but some people were definitely villainized.

I was a child during WW2.
What I remember was being told to stay alert, vigilant and to report anything and anyone suspicious. We had legitimate fears about foreign operatives or sympathizers trying to sabotage our factories or cause terror. We were at war and those things actually did happen.
On the other hand the fear that I remember the most was the bomb. We had drills in schools and we were taught to be suspicious of anything appearing to be communist. However, we were also taught that if the bomb was dropped we needed to work together, to be brave and to be as tough as possible.
This Covid bullshit not only tells children to
FEAR EVERYONE (including their parents) but that they too might accidentally kill someone.
That's a fucking hell of a lot to dump on a kid and it's just one big major head game.
Sorry but I see a future in which a lot of children kill themselves because of lack of fear and lack of human contact.
If you're honestly a parent then you should be taking a stand against the masks and physical distancing.
