Disabled people have warned for years that embracing eugenicist Covid policies and discarding vulnerable people (and children!) would lead to escalating fascism and destroy what's left of public health and common decency.
It's simply not possible to make a conscious choice every day to put other people's lives at risk and not have it impact you in a profoundly negative way.
Years of politicians and leaders telling us that the vulnerable don't matter, that they will fall by the wayside, that they died because they were 'sick anyways' has changed us. And not in a good way.
It's time to think about what comes next. How we can resist, unite and fight back. We can't keep going down this road.
The hatred may have started with disabled and marginalized people - but it won't stop with us.
