The fact that myself & a few people I know were going to get our vaccines in this next few weeks & yesterday we were all denied even tho we are high risk, all because we’re in our twenties... I feel so scared.

I feel like myself and those in the disabled community in California have now have minimal chance at survival.

We knew this would happen, we knew ableds would do this. And what’s more, we knew so many abled “allies” would be silent.

I see none of you who say you care about the disabled community talk about this. None of you. None of you reaching out to disabled friends.

We are slowly being killed. I really am not in a good head space. I got my official call yesterday saying that I am no longer considered “high risk because I’m 28 years old” when literally 2 days ago I was. Nothing changed. I’m still high risk but now the state was like no.

If I get covid, it doesn’t care about my age. My disability will make sure to let me die because it will be hard to recover from. I am fucking high risk.

And no one cares that young disabled people are scared and will die because the state won’t give us access to the vaccine immediately.

Abled “allies” will stay silent. And I’m so tired of them not caring about our community. The largest community out there, the one community that is in every community out there. Your silence means our deaths.

I hate this.

I want to see everyone in my community, EVERY SINGLE DISABLED PERSON survive this. I’m tired so fucking tired of ableds seeing us as disposable.

WE DESERVE TO LIVE. WE DESERVE TO HAVE THE VACCINE. YOUNG DISABLED PEOPLE DESERVE A CHANCE AT SURVIVAL. #HighRiskCA
