If new proposals detailed in an FDA memo are put into place, experts told me it would mean the end of annual flu shots. And end of most vaccines for pregnant people. And maybe the end of updates to pneumonia vaccines. And more.

Thank you for naming how race and class makes a difference when it comes to who ableism is weaponized against in the academic-industrial complex, as I am neither white nor upper middle class, so I was pushed out of what I came to call "an equity office in name only" at UofT!?! 🔥 vimeo.com/540439056
