“I don’t like regulation; I don’t like mandates,” Kennedy tells the group, which has posted social media content comparing the “segregation” of vaccine mandates to the Holocaust.

A female member of the group responds that, “the [vaccine] mandates are no jab, no job. They’re stopping us from taking personal responsibility.”“You were against the fact that many of us lost our job.” He empathises with a teacher who lost her job for refusing to disclose her vaccination status and says, “that’s very unfair”.
