Making comparisons between hydroxychloroquine & ivermectin is warranted in some situations, but overwhelmingly it seems to be done without nuance. This perpetuates the invisibile harm autoimmune people continue to bear as our essential medication— HCQ— is once again in shortage.
I don’t say all of this for some woe is me oppression olympics bs or whatever you care to project— I say it because the difference matters. The severity of the harm done to chronically ill and disabled people is more than worth mentioning, it should be centered. #HighRiskCovid19
Don’t just act as joker or stenographer of the horrors we’re all living through— make the realities clear. Who is harmed by disinformation and how? Was the harm ever addressed? No? Why? What precedent does this set? What doors does it leave open? Do better. #DisabledPeopleToldYou
And why should yOu care about all these articles & tweets? Whether you have power at a media outlet or you’re just an individual twitter user, repetition creates the narrative. I don’t care who you are— careless contribution to the discourse is not only unhelpful, but harmful.
