Social media content created by unvaccinated individuals frequently features narratives drawn from Holocaust-era Jewish persecution, claiming that proof of vaccination requirements are similar to the Nazis requiring people to show their papers. It is worth exploring the contradictory nature of this framing: How did the term 'pureblood,' which has long-signified discrimination and racial violence both in historical and literary contexts, become a rallying cry among those who believe they are being persecuted? This Insight explores the duelling narratives of victimhood alongside narratives of supremacy, and how these propaganda strategies are a manifestation of fascist and violent extremist discourse in mainstream spaces."

#NMFRFrance24 "The movement spins anti-vaccine narratives focused on unfounded claims that receiving blood from people inoculated against the coronavirus 'contaminates' the body.
Some have advocated for blood banks that draw from 'pure' unvaccinated people, while medics in North America say they have fielded requests from people demanding transfusions from donors who have not received the jab.
In closed social media groups, vaccine skeptics [sic] -- who brand themselves as 'pure bloods' -- promote violence against doctors administering coronavirus jabs alongside false claims of mass deaths of vaccinated people.
Taking the hysteria to the next level was the recent high-profile case of a New Zealand couple, who sought to block life-saving heart surgery of their infant on the grounds that any blood transfused could have come from a vaccinated donor.
Their stance prompted a New Zealand court to take temporary custody of the baby to allow the procedure, but the case became a cause celebre among vaccine skeptics [sic] around the world."
