This cartoon should be removed from the site for a number of reasons. The level of disinformation with respect to covid-19, vaccines and the Nazis is stunning.

not the first time Gorrell has used other things arranged to form a swastika:

“Some countries require proof of vaccination for certain diseases, like yellow fever or polio. And traveling in developing countries and rural areas may bring you into contact with more diseases, which means you might need more vaccines before you visit.”
https://www.vaccines.gov/who_and_when/travel
just wear a damn mask!
the only reason proof of vaccination is even needed is because the GOP spent the entire pandemic whining about being asked to wear masks, so a large portion of their audience didn’t, and many republican governors refused to issue mask mandates. This is responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths. it’s responsible to how long this pandemic has dragged on, and it’s keeping many from being able to get back to work.
“I look at it this way: The first time, we have an excuse. There were about 100,000 deaths that came from that original surge,” Birx said. “All of the rest of them, in my mind, could have been mitigated or decreased substantially.”
“Last month, vaccinated Israelis started getting a “green pass” that allows for access to venues and events. European leaders have backed the use of a “Digital Green Certificate” that would provide digital proof of vaccination and permit travel within the EU."
Say, instead of the needles, there was a voter’s checkmark. Like if you want to vote in Georgia, it would say:’VE VANT TO SEE YOUR STATE-ISSUED ID CARD"
As per usual, right-winger Gorrell has it all backward. Except where he’s got it upside down. AND distorted. For the most part, those “vaccination papers” are being requested by companies (or NGOs such as the NFL), not governments themselves. And of course, you are utterly free to remain unvaccinated AND not go to Disneyland or a football game or … It really is your choice. No coercion at all.
Really Bob? You think this is something new? Try going overseas without having had cholera or smallpox shots first. And some form of proof that you have. Is that like the Nazis too Bob? Sheesh!
It takes a special kind of psychopath to imagine that sending people to the gas chambers and preventing them from dying of a communicable disease are remotely equivalent.
@TPG : If you can’t tell the difference between a temporary regulation designed to protect the general public’s health vs that of a police state’s desire to control its population then maybe you should find another subject to comment on.
Bob – I kept you on my list because I like to view some alternative and opposite viewpoints. But this goes beyond the pale. I’ve asked GOCOMIC to pull your submission. I’m now going to unsubscribe from you.
When I was in grade school, you had to provide documentation that you had been vaccinated against the “childhood” diseases before you could attend class. A bit later it was polio, and guess what, we pretty much eradicated the whole lot. Requiring people to be vaccinated, barring those with medical contraindications, is simply reasonable public health policy. Science, not superstition or messages from Q.
This is a bad toon, not appropriate because some of us lived and remember from our parents, the impact of what that symbol means. However unfortunately some liberal cartoonists lately have done some line crossing too. Perhaps they all need to tone it down a little bit.
Too low, Bob. Vaccines save lives, and if the anti vaxxers (a small, albeit noisy, minority) don’t want to get them that’s their right! But companies (mom and pop and chain store alike) are within their right to say they need to get their vaccines to get service, well I’m for that. Especially if it gets more of those “fence straddlers” into the vaccine line. But NOBODY is rounding up antivaxxers and vaccine skeptics and herding them into reeducation camps. So, just chill. And get your damn shot when it’s available to the general public in your area!
Every time I think Bob Gorrell has hit rock bottom, he whips out a jackhammer and digs even deeper. By comparing a common-sense rule with one of the most brutal regimes in history, Gorrell has clearly demonstrated just how far his head is up his @$$. I’d like to drag him by the ear to the nearest hospital and thence to respiratory intensive care, so he can fart his ignorant codswallop to the doctors and nurses who have been working their fingers to the bone for months – thanks to brainless nincompoops just like him.
If this hurts your feelings you AND you want it removed, then you need to have your mouth & hands duct taped closed to help you understand Free Speech.

You have a right to refuse vaccination, and a right not to wear a mask.
Shop owners, restauranteurs, and others have a right to refuse service to the maskless and unvaccinated.
What’s the problem?

Gorrell, you plainly have no understanding of what the Nazis actually did. Did you learn your history at Trump University?

The odd thing here is that it is Gorrell who aspires to be the Nazi propogandist. #Goebbels=Gorrell, who supports kooky politics and fake science.
