Alright, I've seen threads going around claiming the NC Mask ban isn't a mask ban and the CC Community is making it worse by exaggerating. That's not the case at all. People are mistaking House Bill 237 with the law it's amending, and here's the proof: 🧵

[Paper Pegasus @paper_pegasus]

@ChrisAlvino 1/3-1/2 of use-of-force police incidents involve a disabled person. 50% of those killed by police are disabled. Thousands have died in prison from Covid. First to die 1939? Disabled kids & adults. When it becomes palatable to kill us, you accept other atrocities. All by design.

@c_asou @NeurologistMom @DrMaureenHanson @NIH_NINDS Rituxan is high risk right now & no longer prescribed as it was. One of the biggest populations hospitalized/dying of covid is Rituxan pts. My team cut my & many others dose down for this reason. (Unfortunately after so many years I’m prob not getting many B cells back 🙃)

@Freedomalternat @MurielBlaivePhD Y’all are _dangerous_ in the name of getting “internet points”. You have zero fucking shame putting people at risk of harm or death. I happily stand behind my decade of being immunocompromised and disabled, but I’m not risking my kids life bc you believe chiropractors & memes.

[Paper Pegasus @paper_pegasus]

@Freedomalternat @MurielBlaivePhD You realize people are taking photos of us, like dear Muriel, right? Using those photos to dox us and put our info on gun parts they print and sell? Literally calling for our deaths? That we have been physically assaulted at ✨infusion centers✨, grocery stores, etc.

@JeromeAdamsMD 1/3 to half of police use-of-force incidents involve a disabled person & 50% of people killed by police are disabled. This is exactly as designed. They’ll tell you we’re “stoking fear” while they’re violating the ADA (the same ADA they are consistently trying to dismantle.)

@MurielBlaivePhD @JennaLuche Muriel, my immunologist & I got a great laugh out of that essay. Thanks. It’s so interesting how people like you “forget” all of us that were immunocompromised & masking decades before 2020. I mean, I even survived raising a whole human child & they come w/tons of viruses. 🤔🫢

@MLS_Dave We took my aunt off her ventilator New Year’s Day. She was infected at her PCP’s office days before Christmas. I will always wonder how these people are so comfortable contributing to the death and disability of those around them. I don’t think I would be able to sleep well again

@rrelyea Evusheld 2 should be EUA any day now as well, giving us two options. The biggest hurdle will most likely be price. mAbs are insanely expensive and with no cov budget, government is no longer paying for it. Settling on a cost is what is holding up the release of Pemgarda AFAIK.

@Imani_Barbarin Immunocompromised so I purposely don’t know what’s in theaters. Protecting my mental health for me is focusing on only the things I can do without risking further disability/ death. 4yrs of saved cash only goes to those that care about us. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[Paper Pegasus @paper_pegasus]

@NjbBari3 I’m just waiting for people to realize there’s a boatload of immunocompromised/disabled/covid conscious people who have been isolating/avoiding & would be thrilled to spend 4yrs worth of cash saved on businesses that actually care about us. This absolutely includes healthcare.

[Paper Pegasus @paper_pegasus]

@alhkim @Kristin67377787 @hannahba94 @Invivyd I’m sure price will be THE barrier. Hopefully copay charity is an option (the only way I can afford Rituxan & Fasenra w/my other rx). Rheum ✨fought✨ for the last of 2 doses at WashU when I lost the lottery. I (we? 😂) will have a full breakdown if we’re repeating that. 🫠

[Paper Pegasus @paper_pegasus]

@alhkim @Invivyd And now we wait for the price. 🙃

[Paper Pegasus @paper_pegasus]

@danaparish This is vital, esp for disabled/IC. My other fellow immunocompromised family member was infected by another family member. Her dr gave her the wrong things & she waited too long to get help. She’s in ICU right now on a ventilator. Checking tmrw for brain activity. Have a plan.

[Paper Pegasus @paper_pegasus]

@MLS_Dave It’s f✨ing wild. People have always been gross but this is definitely next level. I’m now getting my chemo always in a room full of ppl hacking unmasked, including staff 🫠 &then my oncologist/rheumatologist/etc tells me to mask, stay safe… 🤷🏼‍♀️

[Paper Pegasus @paper_pegasus]

@PeoplesCDC @WHO @CDCgov Getting chemo surrounded by unmasked (&coughing) people, knowing thousands of us are dying every month, & there’s no treatment for me if I get sick, no replacement for Evusheld, has been actual hell. This country has fully embraced eugenics. 4th holiday isolating for my family🥂

[Paper Pegasus @paper_pegasus]

@kathyhen_ @greg_travis @masknerd Oh, the 3m VFlex in size small! Some people found that fit their kids well too. It’s definitely a look but I actually like the way it fits. 😂

[Paper Pegasus @paper_pegasus]

@kathyhen_ @greg_travis FloMask is perfect for them. My kid has been in one since ‘21. (Whole family wears the Pros) United States Masks makes the only disposable kid N95 that I’m aware of. (It can’t be certified so it’s not technically an N95. 🤷🏼‍♀️) @masknerd has _all_ the data you need on kids masks.

Y’all spent the last 3 years leaving disabled people for dead so I find any performative outrage at the things we engage in you deem “inappropriate” to be a crock of shit.
