Instrumentalization of the tragedy of people who suffered and died in concentration camps as a result of ideology of hatred in order to argue against vaccination that save human lives is a symptom of moral and intellectual degeneration.

Unfortunately, antivax have broken moral compasses. "Samoa measles vaccinations compared to 'Nazi Germany' by social media influencer"https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/news/article.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=12288666 …

Actually, comparing vaccine mandates to fascism, Nazis, the Holocaust, Auschwitz medical experiments, and the like has been a favorite trope of antivaxers for a long time now. Even
@RobertKennedyJr has done it.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2013/05/30/can-antivaccinationists-knock-it-off-with-the-autism-holocaust-analogies/ …6 replies 14 retweets 71 likes -

Here's another example from
@RobertKennedyJr: "“They get the shot, that night they have a fever of a hundred and three, they go to sleep, and three months later their brain is gone. This is a holocaust, what this is doing to our country.”.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2015/04/09/the-annals-of-im-not-antivaccine-part-15-robert-f-kennedy-jr-and-the-vaccine-associated-holocaust/ …2 replies 1 retweet 17 likes -

Of course,
@RobertKennedyJr is far from the only antivaxxer comparing vaccines to the Holocaust.@NVICLoeDown has been known to invoke the Nuremberg declaration to compare vaccines to the Nazi eugenics program.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2017/11/08/vaccine-awareness-week-misinformed-consent-course-nazis-eugenics/ …1 reply 1 retweet 19 likes -

Then, of course, some antivaxxers have likened themselves to Jews during the Holocaust and even co-opted the yellow Star of David that the Nazis forced Jews in occupied territories to wear.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2015/02/24/as-states-try-to-crack-down-on-non-medical-exemptions-to-school-vaccine-mandates-antivaccinationists-lose-it/ …

You might recall that
@delbigtree explicitly invoked the yellow Star of David in his speech a few months ago to antivaxxers in the orthodox Jewish community in Rockland County.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2019/04/15/kucinich-perils-reporting-antivaxers/ …2 replies 1 retweet 20 likes -

Indeed, I'm hard pressed to think of a prominent antivaxxer who hasn't at one time or the other gone full Godwin over vaccines, comparing mandates to fascism, pro-vaccine advocates to Hitler, and vaccines to Nazi medical experiments. Here's
@DrBobSears.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2015/06/17/the-annals-of-im-not-antivaccine-part-18-dr-bob-goes-full-godwin-over-sb-277/ …1 reply 2 retweets 21 likes -

Here's
@amdachel of@AgeofAutism likening scientists, doctors, and public health officials who correctly defend the safety and efficacy of vaccines to Germans who later said, “We didn’t know” about Nazi atrocities.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2016/11/25/the-annals-of-im-not-antivaccine-part-22-the-godwin-of-we-didnt-know/ …1 reply 1 retweet 16 likes
Here's antivaxxer Hilary Butler comparing non-vaccinators t the "new Jews," presumably just before a new Holocaust.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2013/05/24/quote-antivaccinationist-hilary-butler-non-vaccinators-are-the-new-jews/ …

I could go on all day and all night with these examples. I've written about antivaxxers comparing vaccines to Nazi experiments, vaccine mandates to the Holocaust, and pro-vaccine advocates to Hitler or Nazis more times than I can remember going back 15 years.
