I wish I could say I feel vindicated by this long-awaited study, but I'm just... exhausted.
I take no joy in sharing covid info. This shit's horrifying at every turn.
But disabled people have to care doubly because the world doesn't care at all.
The past 5 years feel like 20.

The right obviously does too. Theyβre loudly bigoted & closed-minded.
My focus is on the people who claim to be inclusive, progressive and willing to learn, grow and adapt to new information.
Where are leftists when disabled people need them?

I lost access to my ADHD meds in 2023 after I left my provider for putting me at risk by showing up to my appt with covid
Iβve been on half my meds for about a year nowβ¦
AND I JUST GOT THE REST OF IT PRESCRIBED!
