An Instagram post promoting the yellow badge was no longer on Instagram, but the shop defended its product
A Nashville hat shop on Saturday stood by its promotion of a yellow badge in the shape of the Star of David emblazoned with the words "NOT VACCINATED" as a few demonstrators protested outside.
Organizers planned an afternoon demonstration at Hatwrks, and social media posts showed a few protesters alongside a banner that read, "NO NAZIS IN NASHVILLE."
An Instagram post featuring the item and teasing forthcoming "trucker caps" with a similar decoration was no longer active Saturday, but Hatwrks appeared to defend its use of an anti-Semitic, Nazi-affiliated symbol as a statement on contemporary vaccination efforts.
In an Instagram post Saturday it said, "all unvaccinated people will be segregated from society, marked & must wear a mask. what comes next?"
Imagine if the next thing to come out is a yellow star with the word "Wit".
The concept of being “facetious” is not easily understood by those on the left.
I’ve seen those anti-VAX/Star of David cloths on the Internet. It truly is a fitting image of how pro-VAX Nazis would like to put all of us unvaccinated “Jews” on a cattle car and send us to the showers.
My opinion.. a very bad idea. What could she possibly have been thinking?
The demonstrators are either idiots or intentionally misunderstanding the point. People who object to a policy because they think it is Nazi-like necessarily are holding Nazism to be a bad thing. Calling them pro-Nazi is lying and slandering, plain and simple.
...use of an anti-Semitic, Nazi-affiliated symbol as a statement on contemporary vaccination efforts.

What is Pfizer’s advertising budget with NBC?
Nailed it.
What a joke. The cowards at that local TV station were two chicken bleep to even show the anti-VAX/star of David image.
I’m sure they were too too triggered and it hurt their widdle feewings.
Agreed bad idea
I made the mistake of mentioning my deed on one of my sister's facebook page and that is when holy hell broke out and my liberal brother-in-law read me the riot act.
You see, people for some reason cannot connect the injustice of being forced to wear a mask to the injustice of being forced to wear a yellow star. Or the injustice of having to sit in the back of the bus.
Let us find a natural conclusion here. What about the injustice of a "white's only" water fountain which corresponds nicely with the "masked required" only shopping?
Who owns the yellow star? Liberal Jews will take offense like my brother-in-law did. And, liberals in general will take offense with anything that goes against their established narrative.
Making and wearing a yellow star is verboten unless you are following the liberal narrative and it says you can do it, then it is all right.
A Unique image used to symbolize anti-vax would be ideal
I find the comparison disgusting also. Your actions are nothing to be proud of.
Agree...she didn’t think this through
As someone who has family who didn’t make it out so the other end of the Holocaust, I don’t find the use of a Star of David appropriate here…
It’s tasteless and insensitive but covered by the first amendment.
I understand your sentiment. Non vaxxers are treated as outcasts.
One thing we know for sure. Being rounded up into cattle cars and slaughtered by the millions is the exact same thing as being given a vaccine for free that prevents a serious disease.
96% of current COVID cases in the US are among the unvaccinated idiots.
It is MEANT to be offensive.
It is MEANT to be provocative.
It is MEANT to cause discomfort and create dialogue.
While we are in the very early stages, a similar wedge is being created between the folks who want everyone to get the shot and those who do not want to be injected with an experimental treatment. Just like the rift created BY POLITICIANS between one group of citizens and another in 1930’s Germany.
That’s what the whole “shots passport” thing IS, can’t you see? Only now it’s those without the “star” that are to be vilified.
Using an infamous symbol is the whole POINT!
And 99% of those infected have 2 or more co-morbidities. So your point is?
