Disgraced former doctor and medical science fraudster Mr. Andrew Wakefield and his consequences have been a disaster for public health

Even the USSR and US had vaccine deplomacy on smallpox. This here is dangerous

Do you think we will have libraries in 50 years in the US?

It is important for tokenized black reactionaries to mention as often as possible in service of the ruling class ideology. Reactionaries think this is very clever.

“everything is slavery except actual slavery”

Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

I don’t think it’s simplistic in the slightest, myself and many others have been screaming about the slippery slope we’re on for years.

Seriously, I’ve been copy and pasting a variation of this comment for almost 3 years now:

Anosognosiogenesis (@pookleblinky): “Today’s covid denialists are tomorrow’s openly eugenicist “these disabled people are a drain on society” Literally. 13 years after the Spanish flu, the very first people the nazis targeted were disabled people. What caused a lot of those disabilities, you think?”

A thread on Spanish Flu and the Nazis by pookleblinky -I’m afraid this user deleted their twitter, so a really good thread on how Long Spanish Flu sufferers were probably some of the first victims of the Nazi’s Euthanasia programs has disappeared.

The phrase Life Unworthy of Life was coined in 1920.

The phrase “life unworthy of life” (German: Lebensunwertes Leben) was a Nazi designation for the segments of the populace which, according to the Nazi regime, had no right to live. Those individuals were targeted to be murdered by the state via involuntary euthanasia, usually through the compulsion or deception of their caretakers. The term included people with disabilities and later those considered grossly inferior according to the racial policy of Nazi Germany. This concept formed an important component of the ideology of Nazism and eventually helped lead to the Holocaust.[1] It is similar to but more restrictive than the concept of Untermensch, subhumans, as not all “subhumans” were considered unworthy of life (Slavs, for instance, were deemed useful for slave labor).

Martin Niemöller was a German Lutheran pastor and theologian born in Lippstadt, Germany, in 1892. Niemöller was an anti-Communist and supported Adolf Hitler’s rise to power. But when, after he came to power, Hitler insisted on the supremacy of the state over religion, Niemöller became disillusioned. He became the leader of a group of German clergymen opposed to Hitler. In 1937 he was arrested and eventually confined in Sachsenhausen and Dachau. He was released in 1945 by the Allies. He continued his career in Germany as a cleric and as a leading voice of penance and reconciliation for the German people after World War II.

Note this part

the people who were put in the camps then were Communists. Who cared about them? We knew it, it was printed in the newspapers. Who raised their voice, maybe the Confessing Church? We thought: Communists, those opponents of religion, those enemies of Christians—“should I be my brother’s keeper?”

Then they got rid of the sick, the so-called incurables. I remember a conversation I had with a person who claimed to be a Christian. He said: Perhaps it’s right, these incurably sick people just cost the state money, they are just a burden to themselves and to others. Isn’t it best for all concerned if they are taken out of the middle [of society]? Only then did the church as such take note.

Vaxxed?

and yourself!!
