Tucker Carlson Compares Vaccines To Nazi Experiments On Jews

Fox News’ Tucker Carlson was pummeled on social media Friday night after he compared vaccine requirements to protect Americans from COVID-19 to the barbaric experiments Nazis inflicted on Jews during World War II.

Critics pointed out that Fox News has a vaccine requirement so Carlson is likely not worried about contracting COVID himself, even while he encourages his viewers not to get them.

They also pointed out that, late last year, Fox “ghosted” contributor Lara Logan after she compared White House health adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci to infamous Nazi doctor Josef Mengele for suggesting health guidelines to keep people safe amid the pandemic.




One critic called Carlson’s anti-Semitic dig, which belittles the ghoulish horror of Nazi experiments on Jews, “peak despicable.”

Along with openly courting white supremacists and neo-nazis, the right is regularly, openly, anti-Semitic yet... They often wonder why the American Jewish population does not want to vote for them... They act as though they really don't understand why.

5. Tucker does not make these over the top hideous statements on his own. They are written for him ...

... and he drops them in order to drive the news cycle and get social media chattering about him and not
the real news such as the really deep shit that TFG and his supporters are now in. Yes, he truly is an awful
person but he does not set off these fire bombs without being told to. The real story is that Fox News is a
cancer on America's body and it needs to be removed.

1. No one is being forced to be vaccinated. If you wanted to stay in the military or in the federal government there was a vax or test requirement to keep your job, but you could always leave

2. The Vaccines are not "experimental".

3. Vaccines (numerous) have been mandated in the military for generations (and to attend public schools).

To compare what the Biden was doing to the concentration camps and actual forced medical experiments of the Japanese and Nazis... is just so beyond the pale that Fucker C and he guest need to be arrested and charged as mass murderers by misinformation and lies.

13. DBoon compares Tucker Carlson to Julius Streicher
Sat Jan 22, 2022, 04:07 PM
Jan 2022
Julius Streicher (12 February 1885 – 16 October 1946) was a member of the Nazi Party, the Gauleiter (regional leader) of Franconia and a member of the Reichstag, the national legislature. He was the founder and publisher of the virulently antisemitic newspaper Der Stürmer, which became a central element of the Nazi propaganda machine. The publishing firm was financially very successful and made Streicher a multi-millionaire.[1]

After the war, Streicher was convicted of crimes against humanity at the end of the Nuremberg trials, and he was executed.[2] Streicher was the first member of the Nazi regime held accountable for inciting genocide by the Nuremberg Tribunal.

...People Love Dead Jews: Reports From a Haunted Present.

This type of (mis)appropriation by assholes like Carlson is nothing new, but in recent years, it has become more blatant and virulent, IMO.
