Gary Varvel for November 16, 2020

Who invited Dr. Fauci? The member of the family that has the most common sense, that’s who!

We should celebrate Thanksgiving at home. Thanksgiving is about giving thanks.

The answer: People who want to live.

The second answer is People with Brains.

Mr. Varvel, apparently the most horrible-est thing in your world invited Dr. Fauci: science.

The third answer is Not Gary Varvel.

Wasn’t it the European settlers who infected the American Indians with small pox? How ironic.

For me, I’d be delighted to have the opportunity to shot the breeze with him.

only a bona fide moron would consider anthony fauci a threat…

Varvel, like tRump is a charter member of the really sore losers club. He is thankful for nothing.

Pointless drivel aimed at the messenger. If we had an adult in the White House, we would be way ahead of where we are now in terms of controlling the spread.

Pathetic…

Thank goodness for Dr Fauci and science. Our only hope.

Dr Fauci would have been hanged for a witch because he maintains that there are wee beasties, too small to be seen, that cause illness.

And the genocide of the Indigenous begins.

Dr. Fauci simply wants people to be sensible and act safely. What a retard! Does he not realize where he is?

Never have so many prolonged their own suffering by denying common sense attenuation of the virus – and then complained about the need for that common sense getting more urgent. It is truly amazing; complain about restrictions, and then do everything possible to force them. SMH.

Food is not the problem; it`s the fact that people from different places are gathered together. All will be unmasked to eat.

I’m betting that a lot of Trump disciples will win Darwin awards this Thanksgiving. Varvel will be proud. He encouraged it.

You really don’t need to be in a crowd while giving thanks and gnawing on a drum stick anymore that you need other people near you (and to see you doing it) to pray to your god.

Thanksgiving is particularly difficult for us vegetarians. Please keep us in your thoughts as you enjoy the juicy, succulent turkey this year… Seriously, I’d love to be with the grandkids in beautiful downtown Montana, but that area’s getting hammered and we agree it’s not worth the risk. We’ll enjoy via technology.

I guess the people complaining are the same ones that brought smallpox blankets as gifts for their hosts…

The counter for Varvel’s stupidity can be found from a map.

Here’s a story in Wired:

https://www.wired.com/story/thinking-about-a-holiday-gathering-look-at-this-map/

If you can’t read it, let me quote the first couple of paragraphs and provide the link to the map.

Not to nag, but if you’re considering seeing family for the holidays, I need you to take a look at this map. It’s a color-coded guide to Covid-19 risk level, sorted by geography (at the US county level) and crowd size. First, you choose the location where the gathering would happen. Then, at left, you can choose an event size with the slider, from 10 to 5,000 people, and watch the risk of at least one Covid-positive person being there skyrocket the bigger the gathering gets. In some locations where the virus is spreading out of control, like in parts of the Dakotas, that chance is darn near 100 percent, even if the gathering is just 10 people. Get any bigger than 10 people, and the map spits out odds calling it a virtual certainty in many places that you’ll be sharing space with a sick person.

Public health experts would really rather we not gather for the holidays, but they say that if you do go through with it, the shindig should be held outdoors, with as few people as possible, and everyone keeping their distance and wearing masks. But if you look at that map now, it shows that across the US, there’s no such thing as a perfectly safe way to gather during the pandemic. Even with all those precautions, the risk right now is huge, particularly if you’re in the Midwest or hosting anyone coming from the Midwest. For example, in Cook County (which includes Chicago), the chance of a Covid-positive person attending a gathering of just 10 people is around 50 percent. In Jones County, Iowa, that chance is a staggering 99 percent. North Dakota, South Dakota, and Kansas also have counties sitting at 99 percent.

Yeah, republicans worked hard to spread covid to every part of the nation they don’t need no experts to spoil their deadly plan.

So spread covid to your family this Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years and be sure to thank a republican for murdering 250,000 Americans with a preventable disease.

Six allowed at Thanksgiving but thirty for a funeral. So, I will be holding a funeral for my pet turkey, Clyde, who will pass away on Nov. 26th. Refreshments will be provided. :)

Varvel are you going to celebrate Thanksgiving at a homeless dinner ? No, i didn’t think so !!

Beware, native Americans! The Pilgrims are going to infect and wipe you out with smallpox. Which, to them, was a lot more dangerous than Covid-19, or even more exotic diseases like Ebola. Smallpox wiped out in some places about 98% of the indigenous population.

In the past few weeks, Varvie, Indiana has been averaging over 6,000 new SARS-CoV-2 infections per day – with a peak of over 8,100 on one day.

You are a poltroon.

LOL, so it’s Fauci’s fault that Trump’s weak response to COVID-19 impacts Thanksgiving? Since Trump claims to have saved Christmas, why isn’t he saving Thanksgiving?

This is truly one of the most ignorant, deceptive and juvenile cartoons I’ve ever seen. I honestly don’t think there’s a limit to your asininity Varvel

It’s Trump’s good buddy Scott Atlas who is advocating overthrows, not Fauci, and he’s talking about state government, not tables.

talk about conflating several different baseless myths all at once

Even when Mr. Varvel gets it wrong, he gets it doubly wrong. We are in the midst of a pandemic. We listen to our top experts in this area, and Dr. Fauci is one of these. The last thing I would want to do send a Thanksgiving invite Dr. Fauci, who is way too intelligent as to ignore his own advice to stay home. Mr. Varvel, on the other hand …….

Awh, he made Lil Trump cry. Again.

What a fool Varvel is. Worse than a fool. A danger to public health.

Do you really believe dictates from a governor or any other official will really keep families from gathering in their own homes?

Ha, ha, science stupid. No, that was cruel of me to portray Varvel that way. He should get the family together and if by chance an elderly relative dies or someone else’s child, Varvel will shed a tear, call it the will of God and remember how good the food was.

This cartoon is such a faulty comparison. Disease was quite rampant in 1621, and many had died from various diseases the previous winter. Life expectancy was around 35. Louis Pasteur and Ignaz Semmelweis were centuries away, not to mention Joseph Lister. The Pilgrims (Calvinist Separatists) had no idea how disease spread, so Doctor Fauci is an anachronism, and this cartoon shows ignorance of science. We have intelligence and knowledge of public health, so let’s use our brains and stop the Covid.

Looks like Varvel wants to slow the testing down and be thankful for his ignorance.

I haven’t “celebrated” the gluttony of thanksgiving in over a decade. It hasn’t been a loss.

This year, I’m grateful that Trump’s staggering incompetence and indifference hasn’t killed me, yet.

Y’know, when a person that I  look up to turns out to be wrong, two things happen: 1: That person admits that they got it wrong (otherwise, I wouldn’t be looking up to them, right?) … and 2: I lower the amount of credibility they have with me. On the other hand, when Varvel’s main con-guy turns out to be (ahem) dead wrong, 1: he doubles down … and 2: All his followers keep on following him down. If you REALLY BELIEVE that masks are a worthless imposition and inside gatherings of people from near and far are reasonable and good, then you’re not reasoning, you’re part of a cult …

                    PLEASE

    Invite all and only co-cultists to your party!

I can’t believe how incredibly callous and counterproductive this cartoon is.

Do all republicans feel like its their duty to spread deadly covid?

Dr. Fauci – I Don’t Know How To Explain To You That You Should Care About Other People

Ugh, such a stupid moron, Anthony Fauci is trying to help people live!! Donald Trump couldn’t give a rats ass whether people die or not! And Gary Varvel, the dumbest cartoonist of all time, gets it wrong once more. Well, he’s no Steve Sack, that’s for sure.

Oh Gary, get a grip! Fauci’s trying to keep us alive!

Hey, Gary. Celebrate Thanksgiving in May, with your Mom, because she didn’t die after Thanksgiving or Christmas.

Central planning didn’t work for the Soviet Union. Why is it being promoted anywhere else?
