Germany and Australia in particular. It honestly makes it hard to argue against anti-vaxxers and their Hitler comparisons, or maybe I'm just not smart enough to do so. Does anyone from those countries have insights into them? Everything I find is pretty sensational. TlalocW

Hitler locked people up to make them easier to kill. Lockdowns are to keep people from being killed.

We are trying hard not to have any lockdowns but we have strict vaccination policies and they are needed for all domestic travel and entry to events and restaurants, along with masking. It is working pretty well and it is now the virus of the unvaccinated, but the rest of us follow the rules and are able to move around freely.

Germany, Romania, Poland, France, Greece...

These governments usually carefully weigh real or perceived infringements on human rights against the massive protest potential of citizens who seriously "show up."

It's all very bizarre

Whether you like it or not the Hitler argument, though played out, can be convincing to other people.

They were defined by what their grandparents were. An antivaxxer is making a choice.

who don’t know history and believe Qanon conspiracies. Until the government starts gassing anti-vaxxers, then the Hitler comparison is insulting and wrong.
