Anti-vaxxers marched in Washington D.C. where they declared the COVID pandemic to be over, used Holocaust imagery, and compared life-saving vaccine mandates to to Nazi Germany.
Rolling Stone reports that anti-vaxxer and conspiracy theorist Robert K. Kennedy Jr. spoke to the crowd:
The rhetoric took an extremist turn as the speakers addressed the group. Kennedy called the mandates “a coup d’etat to democracy” and compared vaccine passports to slavery. “Even in Hitler’s Germany, you could hide,” Kennedy said, referring to Anne Frank’s ultimately unsuccessful flight from the Nazis. Del Bigtree, a prominent anti-vax podcaster who spoke at the rally, invoked the Nuremberg trials to threaten Dr. Anthony Fauci and the press — a sentiment also made clear on many of the signs in the crowd.
