A man's anti-vaccine rant at a San Diego, California Board of Supervisors meeting has gotten a lot of attention in the past few days because of just how off the wall it was.
The man—identified as Matt Baker who was sporting blond dreadlocks and yelling at the top of his lungs for the entire time—went off on a tirade against vaccines equating vaccine mandates to Nazi Germany.
You can see footage here:
The San Diego Board of Supervisors meeting tonight featured a litany of deranged anti-vaccers, including Matt Baker. He accused them of violating the Nuremberg Code, called them Nazis with Fauci as Fuhrer, and said \u201cyour children and your children\u2019s children will be subjugated.\u201dpic.twitter.com/F9Kx9RHP41— Ron Filipkowski (@Ron Filipkowski) 1629245577

I knew Matt as a regular when I was a barista in OB. \n\nHe is clearly not well, and his mental health has deteriorated significantly since I\u2019ve last chatted with him. I hope he is able to get better. This is horrific.— \ud83c\udf3b Brett Weise \ud83c\udf26 (@\ud83c\udf3b Brett Weise \ud83c\udf26) 1629246008
honestly, I am tired to the bone of all these sympathetic thinkpieces about how we just need to be nicer about these things, or the maudlin "they thought COVID was fake but now they have it and still won't get the vaccine" features. STOP GIVING THESE PEOPLE ATTENTION.— compli-kate (@compli-kate) 1629293211

Why are they allowed in without a mask?— \u24cb (@\u24cb) 1629244027
"Your children and your children's children will be subjugated," Baker said about the vaccine created to end the global pandemic and save lives.
"They will be asked, 'How many vaccines have you had? Have you been a good little Nazi?'"
Currently there are 16 vaccines which children are recommended to get between birth and the age of 18—which has been true for nearly all of our lifetimes. Only one of those vaccines is a newer addition.
Yet despite Baker's warning, children have yet to become Nazis.

The anti-vaccine movement is responsible for vaccine hesitancy nationwide, resulting in the surge of the Delta variant which is currently overwhelming healthcare systems.
Most folks who viewed Baker's sentiments felt uncharitable about them.

The culmination of years of misinformation and the ability of those people spreading said misinformation to connect lead to this moment and this man.
But in the end, reality will follow facts and science regardless of the lies people believe.
