RFK, Jr.: Anti-Vaxxers Have It Worse Than Anne Frank & Those Who Climbed The Berlin Wall

At an anti-vaxxer rally in Washington, D.C. at the Lincoln Memorial today, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. likened the plight of anti-vaxxers to both Nazism and Communism in the same breath:
Even in Hitler’s Germany, you could cross the Alps into Switzerland, you could hide in an attic like Anne Frank did. I visited in 1962 East Germany with my father, and met people who had climbed the wall and escaped, so it was possible — many died doing it, but it was possible.

Today, the mechanisms are being put in place that will make it so none of us can run and none of us can hide. Within five years, we’re going to see 415,000 low-orbit satellites — Bill Gates and his 65,000 satellites alone will be able to look at every square inch of the planet 24 hours a day. They’re putting in 5G to harvest our data and control our behavior. Digital currency that will allow them to punish us from our distance and cut off our food supply. Vaccine passports.

So where does one begin?

Well, for starters Anne Frank's family hid in The Netherlands, not in Germany. Perhaps RFK, Jr. forgot the Nazis controlled nearly all of Europe. Yes, Anne Frank's family did hide. And they were found and sent to Nazi concentration camps save for her father Otto Frank.  The Auschwitz Museum tweeted:

Exploiting of the tragedy of people who suffered, were humiliated, tortured & murdered by the totalitarian regime of Nazi Germany - including children like Anne Frank - in a debate about vaccines & limitations during global pandemic is a sad symptom of moral & intellectual decay.

I'll go further than that. It also accepts lies as facts thus denigrating Anne Frank along with 6 million Jews who perished in The Holocaust, a campaign whose aim and objective was to render Jews extinct.

RFK, Jr. also trivializes the brutality of Communism which kept its citizenry prisoners with most who tried to escape having their bodies riddled with bullets.

Comparing a series of life saving vaccines to Nazism and Communism by making claims about Bill Gates implanting 5G technology into our bodies from whole cloth is fertilizing the seeds of a fascist movement at home. As NBC News reporter Ben Collins tweeted:

Most people are wildly underestimating how both large and rhetorically violent this anti-vaccine movement is. They are a gigantic, one-issue political movement that will eventually coalesce behind one candidate and make extreme demands before 2024. Buckle up.

The question remains which candidate will they coalesce behind. Given his occasional praise for vaccines, will the anti-vaxxer crowd abandon Trump for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis or some other conservative cult figure? Whoever it is will have no trouble likening vaccine mandates to Nazism and Communism.
