Once more, for the people in the back. Looking at you, David Frum.
Drawing comparisons between most current events and Nazi-era Germany is intellectually lazy and genuinely offensive.
In response to the admittedly incredibly disturbing news that Germany will be clamping down on the unvaccinated:
Germany to impose restrictions on unvaccinated to break COVID surge https://t.co/aHxq4hC26t pic.twitter.com/FrekY6hwhA

David Frum went looking for some silver linings and managed to find them:
Unvaccinated may continue to shop-in-person at grocery stores, pharmacies, bakeries, and for other necessities. But other places of business will exclude people who intentionally expose workers and other shoppers to unnecessary, preventable, and potentially lethal risks https://t.co/q4uzSOsbX7

Let’s stop there for a second.
Wait. Does Frum not know that vaccinated people can spread COVID?
Because he talks like someone who is unaware that the vaccinated can also "expose workers and other shoppers" to "lethal risks."
He sounds like a propagandist. https://t.co/bvcNFuds79

He sounds like an insane person, is what he sounds like.
To wit:
It's exactly like the Nazi era, only this time it's the dangerous people who are being told to stay home until they stop threatening everybody else.

First of all:
The unvaccinated need to stay home and stop threatining *checks notes*…vaccinated people?#JustLikeNaziGermany https://t.co/EhPjbrolQG

What is "dangerous" about a healthy person who is not ill or infectious?
I'll wait.

unvaccinated doesn't mean infected
vaccinated doesn't mean uninfectedyou catch covid from the infected
all the anger directed to the unvaccinated is misguided nonsense, aimed entirely at dividing people and pitting them against each other
no good comes from it

And second of all, if we didn’t know any better, we might think that David Frum is drawing a favorable comparison between Nazi Germany and draconian measures against the unvaccinated. That’s certainly what it sounds like. Are you picking up on that, too?
This time Germany is on the right side of smart. https://t.co/r52B2CQmAI

David Frum’s been off the rails for a long time now, but this is just … we just can’t with this.

Dehumanizing a portion of the pop by calling them “dangerous” to justify incarceration is totally different. 🤡 https://t.co/YclT4xAbOF

But… The Nazis thought Jews were "dangerous people who are being told to stay (in their ghettos) until they stop threatening everybody else." https://t.co/nUOoEEt71F

That's exactly what the Nazis said about the jews. https://t.co/tL96hRMQ7v
