"Cramer, who screams about “best of breed” stocks on his CNBC show, isn’t the “best of” anything — aside from dispensing bad advice.
The stock-picker is infamous for his positive predictions about Bear Stearns in the run-up to the 2008 financial crisis, although his suggestion that the military get involved in enforcing a vaccine mandate was arguably worse.
... de facto martial law isn’t the only heinous idea being floated by the left for those who refuse to get vaccinated, up to and including forced unemployment.
On his November 29 show, Cramer ranted for a universal vaccination mandate in the mold, he claimed, of Dwight Eisenhower’s polio vaccine rollout in the 1950s — during which, he averred, neighbors would snitch on you if you didn’t get it.
“Lord knows what happened if you didn’t partake,” Cramer said.
“But back then, anyone who refused to get vaccinated would get ratted out immediately because we knew that person could hurt other people.
... “Now we’re engaged with a similar struggle with COVID, and Eisenhower would be aghast,” he continued.
“We have immunocompromised people who are incubators for every variant to come walking around lawfully unvaccinated?
That’s psychotic.”
“So it’s time to admit that we have to go to war against COVID.
Require vaccination universally.
Have the military run it.
If you don’t want to get vaccinated, you better be ready to prove your conscientious objector status in court,” Cramer added.
“And even then, you need to help in the war effort by staying at home until we finally beat this thing.”
Cramer’s view on polio vaccines is very much what a Wikipedia editor might refer to as [citation needed], inasmuch as he didn’t provide evidence of a martial vaccine mandate or neighborhood snitches, and a desultory search didn’t seem to provide one.
... (then) Cramer had an announcement:
... If only the military had been doing its job, maybe they would have jabbed him with a fourth booster for good measure.
... one of the media’s most aggressive vaccine scolds has gotten COVID after being triply-vaccinated and he’s about to reap a whirlwind of backlash.
... (Cramer) wanted to take away people’s right to get the vaccination on their own, and not just through a mandate."
