Chomsky said this week during an interview with Curt Jaimunga that the issue of vaccine mandates — that is, forcing the unvaccinated to accept vaccines or face a specific set of consequences — is a “mixed story.” He suggested there must be some compromise struck between individual liberties and public health, adding that society itself should form a sort of “social convention” wherein the unvaccinated are pushed into isolation.

How would this be achieved on a practical level? What happens when the unvaccinated need to, say, purchase food? Chomsky has an answer to this question.

“How can we get food to them?” he asked. “Well, that’s actually their problem.”

Sign me up, says MSNBC’s Hasan, who is all too happy to have the unvaccinated treated as an “other” class.

“Noam Chomsky is trending because he wants to get tough on people who choose to stay unvaccinated,” said the MSNBC host this week. “Good for him.”
