Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for October 24, 2021

COVIDVirus’ response: “Well, yeah it does. But you have to work with what’s available. Seems the Progressives as a whole are not quite as accessible.”

NO “supply chain issues” with the Delta!! Imagine that!!

/SHNARK/

I admit I don’t keep up with the news (too depressing).

Who are those men Mark named?

I’m waiting for more right wing pols like Gov. DeSantis and Abbott to go down. They’re literally killing their constituents with their anti mask, anti vaccine mandates all in the name of their freedumb

Dramatizes the difference between “pro-life” and anti-abortion.

Mr Covid is turning anti Public Health republican liars into a smaller minority.

Actually, Covie is a pretty good interviewee. At this point, Tucker would be whining about the liberal Lefties etc.

This indicates that our Reverse Psychology Gambit is working. Don’t you just love it when a plan comes together?…/S

Truthfully, I don’t want people to die but they really did bring this on themselves by not getting the vaccines that Der Leader kickstarted but failed to promote.

A couple died of covid, leaving five children behind. A relative says people called their deaths ‘fake news.’

“Doesn’t killing right-wing celebs hurt your long game?” No, because COVID-19 is just taking out the Republican trash.

Darwin: 5, RWNJ’s: 0

Some call it karma, some call it God’s law of sowing and reaping.

“Doesn’t killing right-wing celebs hurt your long game?” You’d think. But no. You’d also think playing Russian roulette with your loved ones would be an unpopular game, but it’s not. You’d also think doing Putin’s dirty work would be off limits. But it’s all on brand for the new Republicans.

But they lived their Free-Dumb till the bitter end.

I know the die is cast and shots are norm, but I wonder if we had concentrated on making pills or nasal spray to provide the medicine. The anti-vaxers would have no traction and people could just take their own pills or snort their own protection and that’s on them.

Dancing on the graves of your ideological opposition isn’t funny, or productive.

It’s interesting that this doesn’t apply to FOX NEWS. Fox has a strict covid policy, yet they tell others Covid is no big deal.

Damn! If the COVID virus is that big, I don’t need a mask – I need a football helmet with a visor!

That’s one happy, living large virus!

It appears that the Powell comment has been adequately answered. His immune system was weak and he was infected by someone who had the ability to spread the virus.

The right wing celebs, politicians, and crazy fools, are following the former guy; they haven’t yet learned that anyone who associates with him in any way gets burned! Diminished! Awaiting criminal charges! Or dead.

Those who don’t believe the virus is real will be left behind. They will die alone. Such is their fate. The rest of us will proceed with caution, but continue on. Along with the rest of my family, I now have my 3rd shot. If needed, I will get it annually or bi-annually. I had 0 side effects other than a sore arm for a day, same with the rest of my family. My daughter and I have asthma, considered an underlying condition. There are many underlying conditions which mean one qualifies for the booster. My husband is a doctor, so also needed a booster. We have gotten annual flu shots for years, no big deal. All of us must get lots of vaccinations before allowed to go to school. Few parents object to this since the alternative is risking horrible disease exposure for one’s child.

Linking actions to consequences? What kind of liberal agenda are you proposing here!? /s

Insofar as the reich-wing celebrity COVID deniers, at all levels, the disease, masks, prevention protocols and vaccines, in the words of James T. Kirk, “Let them die.” Let them all die.

Mask up, Mark! You have a face for radio.

Actually, I forgot about those infected who don’t pass away, but end up with long Covid and a long term disability. Many will have to endure a disability for the rest of their lives due to being infected by Covid. All because they were afraid of a vaccine or were making a political statement.

My 99 year old mom and 92 year old mother-in-law have both had all 3 Pfizer shots. They had no complaints.

Five human dumpster fires extinguished by the disease that they were pretending didn’t exist for their own gains?

.

As a former President once said: “It is what it is.”

Not mine!

The long-game’s success lies in mutation.

And good riddance to all of them, especially Enyart!!

I hope that Diner Dude sitting next to DeltaC has been vaxxed.

when it’s your time it’s your time don’t matter what

“We WANT them infected!”

What could possibly go wrong?

Every body… think positive thoughts for the Commonwealth of VIRGINIA. We face a crucial crossroads in 9 days, and may return to a 1950s southern mentality if the Gubernatorial election goes the wrong way. Even the way COVID vaccines are handled will be in jeopardy, not to mention abortion, education, the environment, health care (other than COVID), and all other twenty first century progress we have made. Liberal and Socialist are four-letter words, and the most hateful slurs being used against the delegates running on the democratic side. A couple of the republicans are lawyers who are actually defending some of the January 6 terrorists in court. (It’s on the record: “They had a Constitutional right to voice their opinions and participate in a protest.”) Virginians voted for Biden over that orange thing by 10%, but right now the two Gubernatorial candidates are running at dead even. We may turn red again, after 8 years of blue, and 4 years prior of purple… NOOOOOO!

I have already voted, because I will be working as an “election official” on November 2. (It’s a volunteer position. Virginia Beach has 100 polling stations, with 8 people working at each station, so, obviously, we are not full time employees.) Early voting started in September. Believe me, the political ads are vicious on all sides. If you believe it, Terry McAuliffe is a socialist who wants the FBI to investigate all parents who attend school board meetings, and he wants to free murderers from prison. His opponent (who actually did attend one of the most expensive private schools in VA) says he plans on raising teacher pay. What he doesn’t say, is that he plans on allowing vouchers to private schools syphoning public money to raise private teacher salaries. He also plans on stopping Planned Parenthood, and getting rid of much of the progress at the state level, from the affordable health care act.

“Thinning the herd.”

“…murdered by some unvaccinated idiot.” Or by some vaccinated but still infected person. It is an upside-down world that blames the spread of disease on an unvaccinated person who is perfectly healthy.

Vaccines work. We are reminded of this today, as we mark World Polio Day.

never heard of any of em

And how old were they?

Suicidal political parties rarely last.

Only a few GQPs (mostly Fox News talking heads) realized that now their anti-vax stance is killing off mostly their own base (since most people who are hospitalized and dying of COVID are anti-vaxxer GQPs)… but even the Fox News talking heads are ignoring it because they’re afraid of the GQP base and because they still believe in their alternate reality…

Are they really “celebs” if most people hadn’t heard of them until they died?

It is cheep irony that never ceases to amaze me.

The virus doesn’t care about your politic or your religion.

Jeez,Mark looks old as Hell.

And disease germs eat burgers and fries????

The Reich Wing isn’t worried. They think they have their thralls so well indoctrinated that all they have to do is accuse the dead people of Disloyalty.

Because, if they were Loyal, they would still be alive. Ipso Facto. Also Ipso Fatso.
