First they identify the outsiders. Next they eliminate them.

What does that mean?

  I think GP meant that people choosing not to get a vaccine and WFH permanently will be at best treated as second class citizens, and at worst be first in line for layoffs.

  They can use this as a way to get the people who don't vaccinate to self identify by luring them into "you don't have to come back to the office, you can work from home". Once people have been identified they will have the list of people to let go. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/1938-nazi-law-forced-jews-register-their-wealthmaking-it-easier-steal-180968894/ https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/1938-nazi-law-forced-...

Using the term antivaxer is the first step to dehumanizing people. Next, comes "the antivaxers have a choice" conversations and some of them do, some have a mental block ( could be called mental illness), some may have what they perceive as a healthy fear of the government, which is justified as the government has done some pretty shady things like giving people Syphilis under the guise of medical care.

    The nazi comparison is hyperbole of the worst kind and makes it hard to engage with this line of argument. It also tends to make Jewish people very angry and I can see why.

    Lol, nobody is going to gas the antivaxxers and put them to death. The worst possible imaginable thing would be forcible vaccination. Which amounts to a needle prick (that you honestly can't even feel) followed by dramatically reduced incidence of disease and a bunch of people will live a lot longer than they would otherwise. But, yeah, that totally sounds like genocide to me.
