Patients who wear a mask to access healthcare are NOT anxious.
Hospital acquired COVID has a 10% fatality rate.
Many of us are already severely chronically ill.
There’s a pandemic that is airborne and currently ongoing.
Adapting to a threat is not anxiety, it’s a justified, rational response

One of the easiest, most visible ways to resist is to mask
Safeguarding your health is more important than ever. It’s easier to fight back when you’re not chronically ill
It shows you care about disabled & marginalized individuals
It tells government you won’t be complicit in the harm of others

When I hear Trump say “merit based”… I fear for the disability community.
“people with disabilities, co-morbids, the elderly and infirm deserve to live too. Read that again if you have to because I want this message to sink in.
No one is expendable. We all have value”

How Did We Get Here and What Comes Next?
Disabled people have been warning others for nearly 5 years that eugenicist Covid policies would lead to a rise of fascist, racist, bigoted, misogynistic hatred. It's here now. So what’s next?
