The idea that rules to encourage ppl to get a safe & effective vaccine are comparable to exterminating 6 million people is ludicrous. But one of our two major parties (and their media arms) would rather get the votes of such people than call out their bullshit. So here we are.
There's always been medical misinformation and quackery out there. There's a reason the term "snake oil salesman" is in our lexicon. It'll never go away. But political leaders who know better can make a choice not to amplify and legitimize it for their own benefit.
I also feel obliged to point out that there's long been a connection between right wing "alternative medicine" proponents and antisemitism. The Spotlight was produced by the same organization that spawned the IHR Holocaust denial organization.

It was a quick and slippery slope from "the Jews weren't really persecuted" to "*they* want you to believe they were persecuted so that *they* can better persecute YOU, dear white reader, the truly victimized person in American society."
