I listened to quite a few speakers (mostly doctors) and didn't hear any nazi or holocaust references. I looked around a bit and didn't find any media coverage.

I've heard RFK Jr elsewhere and he can be pretty extreme. I think he may be against all vaccines.

Are you suggesting that a grass-roots event with a wide range of speakers might involve as many falsehoods as, say, the nominating convention of a major political party? :-)

A less flippant response to "wasn't it supposed to be about mandates" is that you have a range of people against the mandates. On one end are people who think these vaccines are safe and effective, but oppose mandates on principle (or think there should be exceptions for those who have already had these disease, etc). Then there is a wide spectrum of people who range from opposing these specific vaccines to all vaccines. Reasons for opposing either this or many vaccines range from "because the data show it to be unsafe" to "Bill Gates is an alien."

When you you give people a forum to talk about why they oppose the mandate, all these various reasons, both rational and not are going to come out. Of course, the media will pick out the most extreme, because they is what they do. Depending on their bias, they will either present them as outliers or as representative of the whole movement.

Wow, that article is pretty far out there on the bias spectrum!
