Comparing covid vaccinations to Holocaust is absurd

Between 1939 and 1945 all Jews in Nazi-occupied Europe were required to wear various colored pieces of cloth to signify that they were Jewish and thereby make it easier for the Nazis to humiliate, ruin and ultimately murder, as many Jews as they could.

Today, people with zero clue about the Nazis and the Jews are spreading the absurdity that differentiating between covid-vaccinated and non-covid vaccinated people is somehow comparable to the Nazi treatment of the Jews.

Vaccinations and other public health measures have been a part of civilization for centuries. Vaccinations have been mandated over the decades many times in many circumstances; ask anyone who served in the U.S. military.

The idiocy surrounding masks and vaccines is deadly. Let us work together to get everyone vaccinated so that, one day, we can live in a covid-free world.

Comment: White House didn’t need Trump’s Mar-a-Lago makeover

The ‘billionaire’s ballroom’ will stand as a garish monument to one man’s taste for gold-plated everything.

In an official White House photo, President Lyndon Johnson shakes hands with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. after signing the Voting Rights Act of 1965, in Washington on Aug. 6, 1965. The Supreme Court has shown a willingness to chip away at the landmark civil rights legislation. A Louisiana case could unravel much of its remaining power. (Yoichi Okamoto/Lyndon B.
