"Dr Robert Malone claimed US is now like Nazi Germany with society 'hypnotized' to believe in vaccines and extreme pandemic measures"

View on HN

He [Dr. Malone] used "mass formation psychosis" to describe the observed generality of what is happening and mentioned the historical effects learned from the Nuremberg trials to put it into a relatable context.

Did Dr. Malone use the word “Nazi?” Or is that getting planted to bias people reading the headline and the lede of the article?

In context this clearly refers to Nazi Germany, I don't believe he used the word. That was added by the far-right tabloid publishing this article.

The longer quote includes the question (paraphrasing)

"How does an educated and intelligent society succumb to and embrace extreme ideas?"

The longer clip is quite interesting to ponder in it's relation to our current issues with tribalism.
