Robert Foti used a very misleading simile in his post "Unvaccinated people with masks are like yellow stars", equating masks to yellow stars in Nazi Germany. (https://enewspaper.marinij.com/?utm_email_=85831594F44154BE428E845888&lctg=85831594F44154BE428E845888&utm_source=listrak&utm_medium=email&utm_term=https%3A%2F%2Fenewspaper.marinij.com%2F%3FselDate%3D20220225%26goTo%3DA01%26authid%3D%3C%3Cbang%5Csjmn_match_code%3E%3E%26authdate%3D022522074605&utm_campaign=bang-marin-e-edition&utm_content=e-edition&selDate=20220225&goTo=A01)
It's been said that the argument is lost when Hitler and Nazi Germany are invoked.
I for one see no correlation at all except as a desperate distraction from a more accurate simile, such as bells on lepers warning unclean or the quarantine notices where infectious diseases are being contained to prevent their spread to healthy people.
Indeed, masks provide a visible sign of the “unclean”, i.e. potentially infectious nature, of the unvaccinated as a warning to others.
