1/3 We appreciate @CDCDirector responding to our request to meet with disability leaders to acknowledge the harm her recent statement and the CDC’s policies have caused our community throughout the duration of the #COVID19 pandemic. #NoBodyIsDisposable
2/3 We look forward to ongoing meetings with CDC leadership to rebuild trust with the disability community and we anticipate immediate action to address the concerns raised in our meeting and in our letter from 100+ disability organizations. littlelobbyists.org/statements-and…
3/3 Little Lobbyists will continue the work to hold our leaders accountable and ensure our children with complex medical needs and disabilities are part of every decision that impacts them.

To everyone saying "it's not eugenics" or "she didn't mean it THAT way":

It's really quite simple. She's the fucking CDC director. If one of the most important and powerful science communicators on the planet meant something else, she could say that.
If she meant something else, she could communicate that, in so many different ways- tweets, statements, interviews..... She has a lot of options.
If she meant something else, she should have the training to understand why the actual words out of her mouth would make some people feel dehumanized, and/or terrified, and/or hurt, and/or angry, etc. And then choose better words.

Recommendations on finding boosters or 1st/2nd doses:
Ask me I will help you, or:
1. Search the zip code + vaccination, read the city or county website
2. Check if there are walkup sites if that's accessible to you! Or if you can make appointments at city/county sites
I always check those first because they tend to have more availability since folks tend to check their pharmacies, and because you can check availability without needing personal data.
3. If those don't have availability, do a check at CVS or Walgreens. Most won't have appts
4. Do a deeper dive on pharmacies that are regional or local. They're more likely to have availability. If something requires a date for the most recent dose and you're checking for someone else, just do 6 months before the date you're checking.
