Jim Cramer's Year of Living Unrepentantly
The Anniversary of His Near-Nazi Call for Forcible Vaccinations
A year ago, 11/30/21, Jim Cramer actually said this on CNBC:
Yeah, your ears didn’t fool you: he called for military-run forcible vaccinations of the unwilling. Send the squads door to door, strap ‘em down and jab, unless—here was his fig leaf—the unvaccinated scumbag had obtained a “conscientious objector” certificate through some unspecified court-process.
Called for this in the U.S.A. The “land of the free,” i.e., of those who hold that inherent rights of life and liberty limit the scope of majority authority.
Didn’t even tip-toe up to the idea, but suggested the need for it was as obvious as could be.
At the time, I called upon CNBC to fire him immediately, and did a post comparing his stance to Nazism, finding a few differences that made his not quite as bad as theirs, but certainly making it appropriate to tag him as a near-Nazi.
And he has yet to apologize to any degree, or in any way, shape, or form.
Everyone now knows the vaxxes were not effective.
Nearly everyone now knows they were not safe, and many know that they are delivering the culminating harm, even perhaps one which will take many millions of lives, of the multi-faceted Covid/Vax Disaster.
About a month ago Cramer choked-up on his show, upset that he had messed-up so badly in his assessments of Meta, and thus lost his viewers many millions of dollars.
I guess it made sense for him to shed some tears about that. Providing a solid assesment of the market that permits the amatuer investor to make good moves is the whole point of his show and career.
But repentance for what I have called his (and Matthew Yglesias’s) apostasy from liberal democracy?
None.
Corporate responsibility from CNBC to pressure him to issue an apology?
Not a glimmer of a sign of it.
Week after week after week, he does his little shows. Pretending that he’s still living in the America of the 90s, 00s, or 10s, that everything is still normal, normal, normal, and that his open betrayal of its principles and his fellow-citizens never occurred.
And just about every week, I have been dropping a youtube comment onto one of his videos, reminding him and his viewers, that no, we will never forget.
His case bothers me so much because this was a guy whose entire career would never have been possible without the functioning of the American system, of the rights and trust it was built upon; but like so many of the medical scientists and practitioners, he showed us that he understood next to nothing about it, despite all his expertise in his field. He owed it everything; and betrayed it. Betrayed us.
And his case bothers me so much because to this day, he engages no repentance or self-reflection. His behavior surely reflects the entire culture at CNBC—and if perchance he has wanted to apologize, but has been ordered by his bosses not to, his not having the guts to defy them all the more condemns him.
Repent, sir! Repent. As for me, the footnote in my “We Know What You Did Last Summer” post (linked above at the “apostasy from liberal democracy” phrase) will show you that I won’t advise my fellow Americans to accept your apology unless you also resign and then some.
But regardless of what you make of that, repent.

I remember when he said that. Watching the clip brought it all back. There are SO many others like him, it’s disgusting.
