Nazis opposed vaccination programs to hasten non-Aryan death, inverting the anti-vax Nazi analogy

Evidence

First, the Nazis relaxed vaccination programs in Germany and actively opposed them in the lands they annexed precisely because they favored the die-off of non-Aryan populations. (“The Slavs are to work for us. Insofar as we don’t need them, they may die. Therefore compulsory vaccination and German health services are superfluous,” wrote Martin Bormann, Hitler’s chief of staff and the head of the Nazi Party, in 1942.) More to the point, vaccination programs that ask strong, healthy people to accept small inconveniences to protect themselves—as well as people who are sicker, older, and more medically vulnerable—are the precise opposite of biofascism. — Naomi Klein, Doppelganger, 615

Categorization

• ADDENDUM: Connects directly to ‘On Sacrifice’ theme of how political movements invert moral framings; but more precisely this is a diagonalism device — wrong-way projection — that could serve the grafting metaphor in ‘Grafting & Growth.’
• XREF: Inverts the anti-vax/Nazi analogy with a documented historical counterfact; echoes Arendt’s banality-of-evil project of tracking how evildoers invert moral language.
