To stigmatize people is deeply discreditable or undesirable. It is a social process of labelling, stereotyping, and prejudices that lead to segregation, devaluation, and discrimination.

This is how the Nazi's did it to the Jews.

Undesirables are dehumanized by:

first prejudicing the rest against them,
- Biden: “The vast majority of Americans are doing the right thing... This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated.”
- Biden: "We're going to protect vaccinated workers from their unvaccinated co-workers."
- Don Lemon (CNN): "I think we have to stop coddling people when it comes to … the vaccines, saying ‘Oh you can’t shame them. You can’t call them stupid.' Yes, they are... The people who are not getting vaccines who are believing the lies on the internet instead of science, it's time to start shaming them or leave them behind."
- Don Lemon (CNN): "most of the people I know who are vaccinated are irritated and really impatient at this point with those who are refusing for whatever reason to do this easy thing to save us from this nightmare pandemic."
- Joy Reid (MSNBC): "most of the people I know who are vaccinated are irritated and really impatient at this point with those who are refusing for whatever reason to do this easy thing to save us from this nightmare pandemic."
then they are made the scapegoats for whatever goes wrong,
- Biden: "The unvaccinated overcrowd our hospitals or overrun the emergency rooms and intensive care units, leaving no room for someone with a heart attack or pancreatitis or cancer."
- Joy Reid (MSNBC): "We begin The Reidout with a message—OK, we get it! COVID is the precious and you love it. You love COVID so much you want it to spread into schools, at the office, in the Walmart, on the cruise ships and in the club..."
then they are discriminated against,
- can't fly
- can't dine out
- can't go to gyms
- can't go to shows, sports events
then they are persecuted.
- fired from jobs
- denied unemployment benefits
- denied medical treatments, surgeries
- ???

Never forget.
