Carlson compares vaccine passport to segregation

As a response to Madison Square Garden's updated policy on a vaccine section, Carlson reminisced about segregation being the worst thing of its day and used it as precedence to chastise the policy.

From what I've gathered, the policy involves a "vaccinated section" at Madison Square Garden, home of the Knicks basketball team in New York.

Yes, it is as ridiculous as calling requiring a valid ID to vote "Jim Crow".

Tucker Carlson, anthropomorphized bow tie and anchor around the neck of society, hosts one of the two solo opinion shows left on Fox News.

To be fair, I'm not sure how a vaccinated section is supposed to accommodate anyone really. But at the "very" least, vaccine ordinance provisions are about saving lives and not exhuming cultural dominance.

Just an apparent attempt at fearmongering. I can understand skepticism, but at the same time, where do you let it end? Because you could be skeptical about almost anything. I got my shots, mostly for my family, to prove it was safe. Worth it. My little sisters are next up for theirs. Real men cast aside their doubts and shoulder the burden for their family.

One thing I find rather interesting is the demands to give black people from disenfranchised communities priority in the vaccine shots. Sounds noble, right? To give a leg up to the most vulnerable? Except... perhaps they're wanting to use them as guinea pigs? Not just my lily-white a** speculating, this is what a few of my POC coworkers have wondered. Never stop trying to question the motives of our cultural elites.

I'd say more ridiculous. We already needed vaccines for travel before the pandemic. It's just that now disregard for vaccines is part of the Republican platform, which more or less consists of retaining power and "owning the libs".

You never met a fence post you didn't want to stick up your ass, did you?

Congrats on dragging in just enough derailing side material so you can brag about your Both Sides position.

You're using eugenics theory templates that have been circulating for 5 years to conflate with something that's being administered to everybody in the world at the same time.
