Kailyn reposted an image from the Instagram account @thetruthaboutvaccines which featured a picture of Anne Frank, a young girl who was a victim of the Holocaust.
The text above the image read, “The law is not a moral compass.” “The people who hid Anne Frank were breaking the law. The people who killed her were following it,” read the text superimposed on the picture.
“We speak out now or hide later,” read the caption on the original post.
A fan on reddit reshared the story, and fans were less than pleased with it.
“Yiiiiiikes that is an extremely cringe-worthy comparison! You can believe whatever you want. Fine,” one user wrote. “But if you’re that confident in what you believe in, you don’t use something like that to justify yourself. Chill out, Kail.”
“This is disgusting, an insult to the memory of millions of people who were murdered,” wrote another.
“I think it’s offensive both to Holocaust victims AND people who died from diseases vaccines eradicated!” a third commented responded.
A major issue with this post altogether is that Anne Frank, although died in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, was not murdered in the camp. The young girl, along with her sister Margot, died of illness. Numerous diseases, including typhoid fever, were spreading rapidly throughout the camp and victims were not treated for the illnesses.
“Anne Frank, her sister Margot and hundreds of thousands of others died of Tyfus [sic] and Typhoid fever (among other things like starvation),” commented a reddit fan.
“Typhoid fever has a vaccine, typhus has one – but it’s not commercially available,” another user followed.
The backlash to this (highly insensitive) post is unlikely to deter Kail from her beliefs, but it is important to know that a) vaccinations are not genocidal action and b) Anne Frank died of illness, which is exactly what vaccines have been invented to prevent. To compare the two is ridiculous.
