A business in Nashville received serious criticism online for “not vaccinated” patches evoking the Holocaust.

An Instagram post from Hatwrks showed off a patch in the shape of a yellow star with “NOT VACCINATED” displayed on it, resembling the yellow Stars of David Jews were forced to wear during the Holocaust.

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R- GA) was recently criticized for her comparison between mask mandates and “a time in history where people were told to wear a gold star and they were definitely treated like second class citizens, so much so that they were put in trains and taken to gas chambers in Nazi Germany.”

WZTV reporter Rachel Tiede reported on air that she went to the business to ask questions to the owner, who “was not exactly happy that we were there today” and “told us to leave the property.”

“Not Vaccinated” trended on Twitter Friday night as people criticized the store:

The WZTV report included comments from local Jewish leaders, one of whom said the patch “is just a disservice to the memory of those 6 million Jews who were murdered.” The report also highlighted how much the initial Instagram post took off on social media before it was removed.
