Shared from @myelasticheart_ (whose TikTok content I love) - tips for contacting your reps about prioritizing disabled people during the vaccine rollout!
mRNA is not gene therapy and it cannot alter your DNA, as it does not enter the nucleus (where our DNA is located). mRNA resides in the cytoplasm, and is degraded after some time.
Please, take the time to educate yourself! This is really cool stuff.
Please also realize that police brutality is a disability justice issue. Daunte Wright dealt with a learning disability. Many of the Black folks killed by police have disabilities.
@oh_gee_gaby Also I’ve seen reports that all the cases of blood clots were in menstruating people between the ages of 18-40?? So I’m having trouble believing that these clots can’t be attributed to BC?? Maybe we should make BC safer?? What a concept
Important: If you have an J&J appt at a NY State-run vax site today (e.g. Javits, Aqueduct), you should still go and you will be offered Pfizer instead.
After the pandemic is "over" (whatever that means), please don't take away the accessibilities that were given due to the pandemic.
Both disabled people & nondisabled people benefit from them.
For many disabled people, it's much more of a need than a want.
“Covid just exposed what we’ve basically known for years:
The way the elderly and disabled are treated in far too many of these facilities is with, at best, indifference and, at worst, abuse and neglect.”
Thank you, @LastWeekTonight. #DisabilityTwitter

Context: If COVID had a 99.97% survival rate, then 1.8 billion Americans must have been infected. But it turns out that's six times the population of the country.
Friendly reminder to NOT shame people who cannot get the COVID vaccine. Not everyone can, some people, like myself, cannot get it for health reasons. Just because we don't get it doesn't mean we don't WANT to. I can assure you that we do. We ask for the kindness you give others
