water fountains at my employed grocery store still turned off though

“They have cooties over there.”

Non-vaccinated people should mostly be in danger from other non-vaccinated people.

Vaccinated people should mostly feel safe with anyone – vaccinated or not.

Ouch. Call back to a much darker time, only the signs were different

Vaccinated people can still carry covid, and they can still get covid with all its wonderful symptoms. . People are in such a rush to go back to “normal”. I was ridiculed for wearing a mask yesterday, while my vaccinated sister can’t get out of bed.

Segregation…great reminder of why Juneteenth, is now a holiday.

Brings back memories of childhood. A family trip to Florida, taught this little girl about Jim Crow, when the (great) Aunt we were visiting, told me .“Don’t drink from there, it’s a colored fountain.” I pressed the pedal, and told her," No the water is clear."….This toon shows that the same sort of people, who made the Jim Crow laws, are the ones who SHOULD be separated, from us.

I was disturbed by your comparing vaccinated and non-vaccinated people with “whites” and “colored” Jim Crow water -fountains laws from the 50’s and 60’s. That was horrific prejudice. This virus issue is about life and death… the new variant, Delta COVID, is sweeping India and England, spreading faster, making people, AND MORE YOUNG PEOPLE, seriously ill and the vaccine is the best tool we have to fight it. Shame on you for comparing “your right not to be vaccinated” with civil rights. You are part of the COVID problem, not the solution. And I think your cartoon is very good most of the time.

Tips for cartoonists, if you’re thinking of comparing something to say the Holocaust or racial segregation, first give your head a hard shake. Then take a good look in the mirror. Then look up the historical event you’re comparing your subject to. One more hard shake of the head. Now is the thing in any way comparable? Or as in this case, not at all? If the answer is as in this cartoon, not at all, then put down your pen/mouse, go for a very long walk and think up any other idea.

I am reminded of segregation’s separate but equal, which wasn’t equal, so am troubled by the idea that unvaccinated people should/could be treated unequally. On the other side, quarantining the infectious is appropriate. THE difference is unvaccinated people are not contagious so I oppose segregating them.

The new Vaccine Apartheid.

Seriously, Mr. Belmont? I expect Carl to be that much of a self-centered idiot, but not you!

No laugh Icon. :)

The Land of the Free and the Home the Brave.

Unvaccinated people shouldn’t be using a drinking fountain at all.

1960

There is a difference – neither fountain is blatantly inferior to the other. That aside, I’ve always been wary of whose germs might be hiding in a public fountain, but still used them when I had no other choice. For years, I have regularly carried my own water bottle, and now I love the upgraded fountains with a filtered bottle-refill station in the back.

If the vaccine is effective non-vaccinated people are not a threat. But you can still get Covid is you’re vaccinated.You can still spread Covid if you’re vaccinated.And the vaccine is not effective against the new variants. So this whole vilifying of the non-vaccinated makes no sense.
