I'm surrounded by holocaust memorials, in the city where I live. To me, reductio ad Hitlerum appears childish enough almost every time it's used, and it is disappointing to see people argue thusly while cheerleading for those who chose not to take a safe and effective treatment against an illness that has so far killed about 10% of all civilian and military deaths in WW2 combined, or 50% of the especially infamous genocidal deaths.

It's not like the people who genuinely couldn't take the vaccine benefited from any of this.



My comment in no way denigrates the experience of those affected by the Holocaust. It's merely to point out that even, "the people you should listen too" can be very wrong, especially when there's social pressure or regulatory capture behind the mandate.
