The “covid is only a threat to the vulnerable” narrative primed the pump for the eugenics movement we’re seeing now.
It conditioned people to see the disabled & vulnerable as acceptable losses. People who were probably going to “die anyways”.
It paved the way for fascism.

Killing children is by design, I'm afraid. "Pro-natalists" like Musk claim they aren't racist, but their pressure to have children is solely focused on white women, while they back policies that literally kill of non-white children.
He's a eugenicist.

Opinion | Musk Said No One Has Died Since Aid Was Cut. That Isn’t True.
A journey through the front lines of global poverty shows that when the world’s richest men slash aid for the world’s poorest children, the result is sickness, starvation and death.

As the parent of an immunodeficient child, I am terrified and enraged that RFK's lies and actions are endangering her.

To be disabled is almost always to be traumatized. It’s living in a body that can’t keep you safe. It’s doctors dismissing you. It’s family and friends abandoning you. It’s living in a society that doesn’t see your value. It’s constantly having to prove your life is worth living.

Listen to disabled people. Learn from history. Understand that eugenicists (and fascists) want to rid the world of disabled people.
When you make fun of us, when you make spaces less safe for us, you’re doing their dirty work for them

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”.
This is a manifesto against disability.
This is the language of eugenics.

COVID denial to attacks on NIH and universities now: yes, there is a direct line.
Jay Bhattacharya is a living instantiation of that line. He's the Trump NIH director nominee *because* he denied science to help Republicans. And the same billionaires paid for both. 1/

There’s a direct line between academic “leaders” being willing to tolerate the misinformation in headline #1 5 years ago and headline #2 today.
I don’t know if anyone predicted all this, but many of us tried to warn them these were bad faith actors.

If I could help non disabled people understand one thing about being disabled, it would be how important maintaining a baseline is.
When you’re chronically ill, your baseline is everything.
Even minor setbacks can be catastrophic, so we have to do a risk analysis before literally ANY activity 🧵

I was listening to a podcast about fear responses. The responses of flight (avoid any mention), fight (get hostile about prevention) and freeze (refuse to take action as it all seems inevitable) seem to be the mainstream approach these days to COVID and other health threats (eg bird flu)
