Obviously it's a different scenario, but I think some people mention the comparison because they are scared of the two sides that are actively being encouraged to distrust each other. And they are scared of something like this happening again.
I'm unvaccinated, and have been loudly cursed at, publicly yelled at and told that 'you can't say it, but I'm not upset if the unvaccinated die out!'
Meanwhile, my double-vaccinated neighbours have had covid and had no problems spreading it across the community.
When they heard that we couldn't sit on a terras for our neighbour-activity, because I am not allowed to, they complained about not wanting to sit with me. One of them knew, at that point, that he had covid, but he felt that he'd done enough for society by being vaccinated.
Now, 2 weeks ago, I sat with another double-vaccinated woman that lives nearby and told me she was fine, when I pointed out her symptoms. She had covid for 5 days at that point and simply had refused to take a test, so that she could join the neighbourhood-meeting.
She sat closeby (I moved my chair) and she moved her chair closer and tried to speak to me about her hobbies. I got infected.
Today was my first day that I'm allowed out of quarantine, because my lungs are irritated and lightly damaged and the coughing scares people, so I wanted to make sure they knew that I stayed the maximum time in quarantaine.
The people that spread the covid, did not stay the full 2 weeks, they went and bend the rules. One of them stayed 2 days, the other 4, both went and had secret company over and walked around outside without permission.
Both recently told me that I should just 'get a jab' because I'm the reason that covid still exists. And so far, nobody in the neighbourhood has decided to stand up for me. Because they are convinced that my unvaccinated-ness makes me untrustworthy in health or something.
Now please don't take this story as a comparison to the holocaust, because I would never even go there, I'm just saying that the two sides are actively being encouraged to distrust each other and that makes people fearful and it reminds them of this.

I'm not saying anyone should be labeled as the cause.
But Marc Noppen said; 'We should bother the unvaccinated and make life difficult for them, so they take the vaccine.'
And in Austria, there were police-officers that said they didn't want to follow the plans that the government had about the unvaccinated (fines, prison, bankrupt) hoping that the unvaccinated would be forced to vaccinate, because otherwise they'd end up homeless on the street due to the fines. Words like 'physical coeercion' were mentioned, after which they denied it again, but it was clear that they were thinking of things that go against human rights.
I even remember Amnesty International getting involved about that part, but I'll have to look that up to be sure...
What I mean is, so far I haven't heard anyone in the newsreports say; 'The vaccinated are definitely the problem' and I have heard the opposite. Studies show that about half of the vaccinated people, choose to avoid the unvaccinated.
In my family, that percentage is about right. We're not welcome to visit, aunts, uncles and nephews that are vaccinated themselves. Because 'god knows what we might carry.'
When people get vaccinated in my neighbourhood, I don't hear the unvaccinated people going; 'Oh, you shouldn't have made that choice for yourself.'
(It shows that 70% of the unvaccinated are fine with the vaccinations, just not for themselves.
It also shows that a large percentage (I forgot how many, between 60 and 80) percent of the vaccinated people do not accept that unvaccinated are unvaccinated.
I am unvaccinated and therefore not allowed to sit on a terras outside (with distance.)
I ám, however, allowed to wait inside to pick up my drinks ToGo. Even if that is half an hour, even if the bar is full of people, even if I have to wait in line and bring 5 unvaccinated friends.
But relaxing outside in the sun and wind is not acceptable. That is only acceptable if you can prove you're vaccinated.
Same goes for using the toilet, bytheway (standing in line is acceptable, but using the toilet isn't. My unvaccinated acquintance was told to use the bushes, which she felt was utterly humiliating, next to a terras.)
And ice-skating outside also isn't allowed without a code. And so on, and so on.
So, I would rather not see any polarisation.
I'll make sure to dive into those acceptance-percentages and edit the post once I find them.
