You're not getting downvoted from "sharing personal experiences", you're getting downvoted for screaming your flawed conclusion "It's allll fakeeeeeddd!" from your bubble of observation. Against thousands of other conclusions backed up with data. Which you are dismissing as invalid or is a giant conspiracy.

Do you wear the seatbelt while in a car? From my experience I would've been fine in all the car journeys I've ever taken if I hadn't worn the seatbelt, but I keep wearing them and I don't go on the internet and scream "Seatbelts are unnecessary!!!!". From your car ride experiences, you'd probably agree, so why do you keep wearing it? Is it because you trust the (scientifically done) experiments that show how badly hurt or dead you can be if you don't wear it?
