I still remember when the CDC told vaccinated people they didn’t have to mask anymore and the folks who pushed back were called “pandemic addicts.” Then that strawman wE cAn’T sTaY iNsIdE fOrEvEr.
So yeah the government has failed us. But y’all need to listen to disabled people.

If there’s one thing the pandemic has been consistently serving, it’s eugenics. 
I place most of the COVID crisis blame on government failures, but I’m not giving certain folks a free pass for the role they’ve also played.
Shaming people who consistently took the pandemic seriously. Signaling that disabled people are acceptable collateral damage. Etc, etc.
