    Pretty much all safety regulations

    Every safety rule is written in blood but due to no one getting hurt (because of said rules) people begin to think the rules aren’t necessary.

    It’s the same concept with preventative measures like vaccines. Vaccines worked to the point we had an entire generation grow up in a world without the most common forms of debilitating diseases and as a result we now have anti-vaxxers everywhere.

    It’s even prevalent in things like the hole in the ozone layer. When it was first discovered EVERYONE was panicking about it. But then we fixed it to the point some people think it was never really a problem at all.
