Central to my research has been that the pervasive ableism behind vaccination refusal and hesitance has roots as far back as the eighteenth century. The deep fear of disability (especially cognitive or intellectual) as a fate somehow worse than contagious disease is absolutely not new.

Dr Carla Hayden was a truly great Librarian of Congress. It is an outrage that she has been sacked - a national shame on the United States. I had the pleasure of knowing her and working with her - she’ll continue to do good in the next phase of her career whatever that is.
