Those who show up at COVID debates wearing yellow stars forfeit right to be heard

The Kansas City Star Editorial Board

At this week’s Springfield City Council meeting, about 15 of those in the crowd who had come to oppose the oppression of a non-binding resolution encouraging vaccinations showed up wearing big yellow Stars of David pinned to their shirts and dresses.

Not just anti-science, but antisemitic, too, those stars told us.

And since the disgusting comparison of lifesaving COVID-19 public health measures to the murder of 6 million Jews is now a regular feature of these mad protests, it’s time to take such displays for what they are, which is the mark of a hate group.

The resolution that those who had come to heckle and jeer were comparing to the Holocaust said this: “Vaccination is the leading prevention strategy to end the COVID-19 pandemic and should be strongly encouraged for all eligible individuals.” No wonder they were reminded of the Nazis’ attempt to systematically exterminate a people.
