##Immunocompromised
When I see smiling faces in public spaces, I see people ready to breathe a de*dly & disabling virus into #immunocompromised people’s faces.

(impromptu rhyming, I’m not a poet) 😂

Most people don’t realize this, but every time you enter a public space without wearing a mask, what that shows to an #immunocompromised person is:

Their life doesn’t matter to you

You don’t care if you spread COVID to them, which could 💀 them or cause further disability (LongCOVID)

Disabled / immunocompromised / chronically ill people are STILL dying from COVID in the year 2025

If you want to do your part in preventing 💀s, then please wear a mask in public spaces

Every effort to break the chain of transmission matters

#Immunocompromised lives matter

#Disabled lives matter

How to be an ally to disabled / #immunocompromised people:

Wear a mask in public

Don’t minimize the harms of COVID to chronically ill ppl

Don’t minimize harms of COVID to yourself / family / friends

Don’t refer to COVID in the past tense (e.g don’t say “during COVID” if u mean “during lockdown”)

1. The World Health Organization acknowledged the *ongoing* pandemic in Dec 2024

2. #Immunocompromised people exist (even the cold or flu can be deadly for some of us)

3. Everyone’s risk of developing #LongCOVID (long term or permanent disability) increases with each infection

Waiting outside the laundromat in my car

Thought I’d go today since it’s Boxing Day so probably less busy!

Reminder to wear a mask in public spaces as #immunocompromised people could be anywhere (it’s an invisible disability)

Also, there will likely be a COVID surge after those Xmas gatherings

COVID is still spreading, still causing deaths & new disability & further disability ➡️ #LongCOVID

Measles cases are still increasing exponentially

In order to be an ally to #disabled & #immunocompromised people, it would require you to stop seeing us as “the other”

The truth is, YOU can become disabled or immunocompromised at any time

You may be “young, fit & healthy” now, but that can change any time

People who say #immunocompromised ppl are overreacting when we say “eugenics” have NO IDEA what it was like to be #disabled / immunocompromised / #chronicallyill when mask mandates were lifted in 2022

Their health privilege allowed them to abandon us when the gov’t gave them permission to

First time trying my new black CAN99 mask😁

Reminder to wear a mask in public spaces as #immunocompromised ppl could be anywhere

Our lives matter-we deserve accessible & inclusive spaces

People who may be self-conscious of other’s opinions may be encouraged to wear a mask if they see you with a 😷

Asymptomatic & presymptomatic COVID transmission existed in 2020 and still exists in 2025

#LongCOVID existed in 2020 (before the vaccine roll out) & it still exists in 2025

Disabled / #immunocompromised / chronically ill people 💀ed from COVID in 2020 and we’re still 💀ing from COVID in 2025

People stopped caring about #immunocompromised people when seeing us wearing a mask affected THEIR mental health

If you’ve dealt with an ongoing pandemic by denying reality, consider talking about it with a therapist

If seeing a mask makes you afraid or anxious, that’s an irrational fear

This accurately describes how a lot of #COVIDinformed / #immunocompromised people feel

It’s ableist to tell #disabled / #immunocompromised people that you know what’s best for us, especially when you know you can’t relate to our experience

We’ve heard it from family, friends, medical & mental health professionals

It’s important to validate us, rather than pretend to be an expert

If this can be done at a concert, it can be done ANYWHERE

Including at any disability related conference

Conference organizers who have shown no effort or interest in accommodating have shown us what they REALLY think about #immunocompromised / chronically ill people

People like to think they care about human rights & #disabled people but then are 🙉🙈🙊 and go unmasked in public

#Immunocompromised people ARE human & we exist

Immunocompromised rights = human rights

“Do you seriously want me to wear a mask at the grocery store, medical settings, and all other public spaces?” 🤡

Translation: “I don’t think disabled / #immunocompromised / chronically ill people deserve to access spaces safely, and my convenience & the vibes are more important than their lives”

When I see people wearing a mask, I see:

People who care about #disabled & #immunocompromised people

People who care about their own health

People who care about their family’s, friends’ and community’s health

You’re not an ally to #disabled / #immunocompromised / #chronicallyill people if you minimize & downplay COVID

By refusing to recognize the seriousness of COVID infection, reinfection & #LongCOVID, you’re contributing to immunocompromised 💀s and further disability

People thinking & believing about themselves “I care about disabled & #immunocompromised people” while attending maskless super spreader events 🤡

Being truly anti-ableist & anti-eugenicist often requires effort, instead of just doing or thinking how the government or mainstream media want you to

Apparently, fitting in & not living according to your values is more important than caring about marginalized people

For those who aren’t aware, #immunocompromised ppl are the most marginalized, silenced, & forgotten group within the #disabled / chronically ill community

Left behind & no one cares

#Immunocompromised people need safe & accessible & inclusive spaces 😷

We do NOT need to see your smiles 😷

Most people have no idea - the level of isolation & betrayal that #immunocompromised / chronically ill people have felt

We don’t post about COVID or #LongCOVID for attention

We’ve been abandoned by the government AND those closest to us 😢

We do this because we feel it’s necessary for our survival
