“Sick and elderly Canadians who have refused to end their lives via MAiD have reported being called selfish by their providers”

This is happening in Canada

Disabled people have assisted dying suggested to them when what they need is care

Unsurprisingly, it happens most to those living in poverty

From LifeSiteNews By Clare Marie Merkowsky Inclusion Canada reported to Parliament that disabled Canadians feeling pressure to choose assisted suicide is a ‘weekly’ occurrence due to MA…

If you were at the No Kings events, please wear a mask for the next few days.

Covid is not over.

You can infect others before you feel symptomatic.

People are losing their healthcare. They’re losing their food assistance. They’re losing housing.

We need to protect each other.

Not everyone can boycott Amazon

Many disabled & elderly people are housebound and rely on it

Some medical supplies are more affordable there than anywhere else.

Instead of judging, help create networks of care.

Give rides, drop off food and meds, donate to mutual aid

Take care of each other

They’re flooding the zone so effectively that the joint letter by six former Surgeon Generals about the dangers of RFK Jr was barely a blip.

People have already forgotten it.

Public health isn’t flashy, but it’s incredibly important to society.

Disabled people aren’t expendable.

We aren’t “less than”.

Disability isn’t a moral failing or a punishment.

It’s a part of life. It will happen to almost everyone eventually.

Instead of assuming you will be the exception, help us create better social supports.

Commit to inclusion.

Exactly this
This! Everyone who’s continued to remind you about the ongoing pandemic was also warning you about Makary, Bhattacharya & Prasad!
Frankly, I blame that on our political leaders and media sorta just moving past and memory-holing COVID even as the virus continues to circulate and kill.

Bhattacharya and Makary and Prasad etc. were all a COVID story and nobody wanted to talk about COVID except the Right.

Wearing a mask is an act of resistance.

It helps protect your health and the health of those around you.

It tells the government you don’t believe anyone is expendable.

It says you value community care.

It shows solidarity with the disability community.

Covid is not over.

Telling people to “tough it out” when they’re sick is ableism.

Saying that autism is “unacceptable” is eugenics.

Bragging about the strong people who don’t take meds or vaccines? It infers that those who need medications are weak.

It’s all eugenics. This regime sees disabled people as less than.

In a world full of people cosplaying “back to normal” at the expense of their health… be a Violet Affleck.

Have the courage to wear a respirator and stand out.

Have the strength to speak up for the most vulnerable and lead by example.

Masking is resistance.

Long Covid has now overtaken Asthma in the US, as a cause of chronic health disease in children. There is currently no cure. Yet no action is being taken and Violet Affleck is very much on point.

“it is neglect of the highest order to look children in the eyes and say we knew how to protect you and we just didn’t do it.”
“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.”

Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!

I explained to my 5-yr old the hierarchy of University degrees. Him: "Are there any medals higher than the PhD?"
Me: "No. But some get more than one PhD."
Him: "Why didn't you?"
Me: "Because I wanted to get out of school & have a life & family."
Him: "And a handsome smart son."

Do you understand that a huge portion of the wellness podcaster and influencer community is now going to be paid to push folic acid as a treatment for autism despite no actual evidence for it. This is a windfall for the supplements industry. It's all a grift.
