Huh, yeah, I can kinda see how that comic could be badly misunderstood. I certainly didn’t really get it, it made me angry. Which I guess is getting it, but I was more angry that the comic seemed to be trying to be funny, as if what the white lady says is a joke.
It’s easy to assume that the white woman talking to me is racist, that may or may not be true but that is not the point. The point is how white people see issues that effect [sic] Black peoples as trivial…
Furthermore I want this comic to challenge liberal whites who assume that every white person they feel superior over is racist. This is just a random white woman, [I don’t know] her."
Maybe I don’t get it. To me what the white lady says is racist, and not funny. I can tell the white woman is racist because she is saying something racist.

@y’all, I suggest explaining to people argueing about herd immunity that
- herd immunity is always related to the group of human beings you are looking at
- vaccination the most important way to acquire immunity in larger parts of the population
- deliberate or careless infecting yourself will not help herd immunity
- infection with a viral pathogen to cause immunity causes much worse effects than a vaccination
- larger numbers of infected people lead to a collapse of healthcare, and a high number of people who could otherwise be treated die. That includes e.g. people with early-stage cancer going undetected, and many other conditions.
Important to note on the fact that herd immunity is always related to the group of human beings you are looking at: the scientific term is “population”.
And the term may not be identical to the meaning in everyday use, i.e. the people living in a certain country. “Community” might be a better term in general use.
ETA: I’m made this post a wiki, so you can add/edit points we need to truth-sandwich to “herders”.

The oft-mentioned smallpox case, for instance, shows the shortcomings of non-vaccine herd immunity. Back in the day, the European population actually did have herd immunity, which is why the bioweapon genocide of Native tribes was so effective. However, it is worth noting that no one is born with such immunity, and it was very common for children to die of smallpox. Those who survived childhood were immune, true enough, but at what today would be a totally unacceptable cost. Chicken pox, likewise, showed the same kind of herd immunity prior to vaccine development, but with much lower morbidity and mortality. Natural herd immunity does not eradicate a disease, only vaccination, which provides immunity without that pesky contagious stage, can actually do that, eg smallpox and very nearly polio.

Not all comics are trying to be funny. There are examples of this everywhere. I remember strips in The Family Circus dealing with themes like death. Maybe those who were upset about it should try to figure out why they’re having that reaction to the themes in the particular strip.
