I'm Prower, probably wherever you have a local one. I am disabled since 2014 with ME/CFS, and in between dealing with that I fill my time with crafts, raising my kid, petting my dogs, and video games when my cognition allows.

So if you survive Measles, like many other airborne viruses, you're at risk of long-term sequelae and immune dysfunction (or amnesia for Measles). Tell me again how this anti-vax admin is making America healthy again?

“We can’t eliminate SARS.”
We can, and we did.
“Well poor countries can’t do it.”
Poor countries eliminate bad diseases all the time, with some outside help in the past. Yeah. Even airborne ones.
The only reason we have COVID-19 circulating is because rich countries said so.

I’m so tired of the “What radicalized you?” question.
I’m tired of it because so much of what’s considered “radical” is just basic empathy and regard for human rights, taking a stand against obvious fascism and speaking out when people lie and defend cruelty.
That shouldn’t be “radical”.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.
He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.
At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.
Wael died on Friday at age 30.

Maybe they don’t want respirator masks in hospitals because patients suffering heart attacks, strokes, cancer, kidney failure etc might ask why people are wearing masks.
And someone might tell them.
And they’d figure out why they’re sick.
And they’d realise they’d been lied to.
