Is this a reference to the bubonic plague being spread by rats? Interesting turn of phrase. Wasn’t it the Nazis that dehumanised Jews by referring to them as ‘vermin’?

How is a ratlicker a rat?

And why do anti-vaxxers keep wearing gold stars when prominent Jews and Jewish organisations keep telling them it’s an insult to Holocaust victims, as well as displaying a fundamental misunderstanding of history?

Surely you would admit that it is the anti-vaccine movement which tilts considerably to the far right of the spectrum? Which has quite the soft spot for Nazis.

I am not anti-vaccine, nor am I part of an anti-vaccine movement. I’ve traveled considerably over the past number of years and have received immunisations for polio, tetanus, typhoid, hep, rabies, meningitis, as well as the standard vaccines.

I will say that “rat-licker” is a disgusting phrase, and it is a clear attempt to dehumanise people. Face coverings are not recommended for some people, including children under 13. Are they “rat-lickers”? Are people with physical or mental illnesses or disabilities that prevent them from wearing a face covering also “rat-lickers”?
