This is a new #COVID19 antivax meme going around, although the comparison is nothing new. White, privileged, entitled antivaxxers do so love comparing their "plight" to slavery, as though being asked to wear a mask were anywhere near the equivalent of being enslaved and tortured. https://twitter.com/thereal_truther/status/1262443327372156932

It's offensive how these nearly all white, privileged, often affluent, and, above all, entitled antivaxxers love likening themselves to oppressed peoples, their favorite analogies being to Jews during the Holocaust, African-American slaves, blacks during the civil rights era. 2/

Antivaxxers making these comparisons are so tone-deaf and oblivious to what real oppression and persecution look like that they misappropriate examples of real oppression as having anything to do with their "struggle." 3/3
