In case anyone was curious: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) director Rochelle Walensky claimed that “So really these are people who were unwell to begin with and yes, really encouraging news in the context of Omicron. The overwhelming number of deaths, over 75 per cent, occurred in people who had at least four comorbidities."
We're just inconvenient to have around. Let us die like lame horses. We were already sick anyways, right?
#mydisabledlifeisworthy
also if you look at the list, it includes things like vitamin deficiencies, anxiety or depression, needing glasses, being short (??), being overweight
so like. most. most people??? the vast majority of people???
(to be clear it would be utterly fucked up if they just meant disabled people, but its somehow worse than that)
Don’t forget acne, seasonal allergies and lactose intolerance.
The CDC is using the general populations’ acceptance of eugenics to sell their own deaths to them by saying something people hear as “only the chronically ill and disabled are dying” and then changing the definition of comorbidity to be “any condition the people who are actually dying have” aka common medical conditions. Like lactose intolerance. And acne. And the general population is buying it because they do not GAF how many chronically ill and disabled people die.
