Youre making the claim that there is some danger here, and your defense is “I can’t find any proof there is danger here?”

The simple truth is that there is no danger in this circumstance, but if you accepted that you would have no argument for not assisting a person dying.

Your article points to a 45%/39% male to female assistance rate. The article doesnt give exact numbers, but says some women are less likely to perform CPR on women for fear of harming them. So if we say of that 6%, 3% are women that dont perform CPR for the above, we have 3% of men who are afraid to try to save a womans life because of a non existent threat. It sounds like youre one of those 3% of fearful men.

Id ask for the dying womans sake, that you push past your fear and help keep another person alive. Be strong, for them. Be brave, for yourself.

Fear is the mindkiller. Dont let it control you. Do the right thing instead.

Okay so you can’t see any danger in someone getting the wrong perception when I am removing parts of the shirt of an unconscious woman to put on a defibrillator? Not even if they don’t see the defibrillator?

You’re either not capable of understanding the point or arguing in bad faith.

But back to the point…. You said there was zero risk, I provided an article that showed that this isn’t just my personal feeling, but a common perception of risk, be it real or just perceived.

And I asked you to back up your claims, instead you double down and show nothing to support your point. You claim it is a simple truth in order to downplay your lack of data.

Between the mix of bad faith arguments and trying to make this personal (about whether I would act or not) you don’t seem like you’d accept a truth if it disagreed with your personal narrative. This debate seems fruitless, so I’m done. Have a nice day.

And if someone gets the wrong perception so what? And what of the other x+ people seeing you do the right thing?

I’d 100% cunt punt someone trying to attack someone performing life saving procedures on someone in crisis

This isn’t about giving lifesaving procedures, this is days latter when someone realizes what happens. There is plenty or evidence that ‘bad touch’ happened, and so lacking good Samaritan laws the law was violated and that is all we need to arrest someone. This type of harassment has happened, but I have no idea how often it does .

It’s pretty wild that you’re getting on someone’s case about lacking evidence when you’ve utterly failed to provide any of your own that any one has ever actually been hassled for giving CPR to a woman.

I provided a link showing that this risk, real or perceived is prevalent.

But you didn’t read that, did you?

I also didn’t make the case that I knew the numbers on the risk, in fact I made the case that neither of us know. So the burden of proof is on the person making the claim of knowing the risk. That’s not me.

But you’re not gonna listen to that either.

😉 have a nice day.

I know paramedics who got formal complaints about this. Their boss ignored as the paramedics were acting as trained.

And I asked you to back up your claims, instead you double down and show nothing to support your point. You claim it is a simple truth in order to downplay your lack of data.

You made a claim:

“this action has risk.”

You then provided no evidence at all of that risk, just an article talking about other fearful people like yourself imagining that there might be a risk. Being cowardly is not evidence of a risk, no matter how large or small the group of cowards is.

Now you’re asking me to prove a negative, to disprove your absolutely nothing. Okay, glad to. Since you provided zero evidence of risk, and even admitted there is no recorded case of this risk happening, then its easy to see that there is no risk. Turns out something has to exist for it to exist. Tricky, that.

Thats your gotcha argument? “I have no evidence this exists, and neither do you because it doesn’t exist, so therefore it does exist?”

Is this your first day on the internet?

Best rebuttal is calling people cowards eh?

You win, but I wish you would reconsider that I may have a point despite your distaste for it.

Have a nice day.
