Jewish Groups Condemn Lara Logans Comments Comparing Dr. Anthony Fauci To Josef Mengele
November 30, 2021 11:37am
A number of Jewish groups condemned Fox Nation host Lara Logan for comments she made comparing Dr. Anthony Fauci to Dr. Josef Mengele, the Nazi doctor who performed cruel medical experiments on Jewish prisoners.
This is what people say to me, that he doesnt represent science to them, Logan said during an appearance on Monday on Fox News Primetime. He represents Josef Mengele. the Nazi doctor who did experiments on Jews during the Second World War and in the concentration camps. And I am talking about people all across the world are saying this because the response from Covid, what it has done to countries everywhere, what it has done to civil liberties, the suicide rates, the poverty. It has obliterated economies. The level of suffering that has been created because of this disease is now being seen in the cold light of day, i.e. the truth.
The American Jewish Committee, in a statement posted on Twitter, called Logans comment Utterly shameful. Josef Mengele earned his nickname by performing deadly and inhumane medical experiments on prisoners of the Holocaust, including children. @LaraLogan, there is no comparing the hell these victims went through to public health measures. An apology is needed.
The Auschwitz Museum said in a statement, Exploiting the tragedy of people who became victims of criminal pseudo-medical experiments in Auschwitz in a debate about vaccines, pandemic and people who fight for saving human lives is shameful. It is disrespectful to victims & a sad symptom of moral and intellectual decline.

Twin experiments
Josef Mengele was the central leader of the experiments and in the span of one year (1943 to 1944) he experimented on as many as 1,500 sets of twins imprisoned at Auschwitz camp. And out of this huge number, just about 200 managed to survive the tests.
The gruesome act involved injecting dyes in the eyes of twins to see if they changed color and even sewing them together in order to create their own version of conjoined twins
Sea water experiments
At one of the Nazi concentration camps, experiments were conducted to test the effects of sea water on the human body and if it can be made drinkable. For the same, a group of about 90 Romani people were given nothing edible but sea water for approximately 2-3 months. Historians note that the subjects suffered such severe dehydration that they were even observed licking freshly mopped floors in the hope of finding the left traces of drinkable water.
Bone, muscle, nerve transplantation without administering anesthesia to the prisoners
They wanted to know about the possibilities of bone, muscle and nerve regeneration. And for the same, they extracted the bones, and the other said parts from the subjects without even administering anesthesia to the subjects. Subsequently, the subjects suffered mutilation, sheer agony, and permanent disability.
There are plenty more examples and verified testimonies. Do we need to go any further?
Love U sis.

Reminders aren't a bad thing. But her comparison is just outrageous.
Love you back!

Deflection at its worst.
Wasn't Logan removed from her newscast spot for blatantly lying about Benghazi once also?
