I wrote a guest article for Healthy Debate that looks at why we need mandatory masks in healthcare, why surgical masks aren’t enough, and how the mounting threats to public health are putting lives at risk.
If you’re a healthcare worker, mask up.
Show us you take your oath to “do no harm” seriously

‘We might die because you won’t wear a mask’: A plea to health-care workers - Healthy Debate
Let’s start protecting people in health-care settings as that’s where people should have the best understanding of a viral threat.Maddi Dellplain (Healthy Debate)
You'd think people would want to know if there was a disease that killed more Americans than all our wars combined and is still killing, that causes long-term illness at yearly rates higher than all cancers combined, that all are at risk for, but that all could take actions to prevent. You'd think they want to protect themselves and their families. You'd think that this would be the #1 world priority. It is for me.

There’s so much going on in the world that we can’t control.
The Covid pandemic gave way to rising fascism, just like the pandemics that have come before.
People are scared. Many lost loved ones. Society changed overnight. The loss of control that many felt allowed bad actors to rise up and capitalize on people’s fear.
No matter what our governments say or do, Covid isn’t over. It’s still killing and disabling people.
What’s worse, the pro infection crowd has become so loud and emboldened that vaccine uptake is down, masks are vilified and we’re seeing a resurgence of diseases like measles and tuberculosis.
Despite all the infectious disease threats out there, we still don’t have mandatory masks in healthcare.
The one place people absolutely can’t avoid, the place they should have a reasonable expectation of safety, has become one of the least safe public spaces.
Patients are being infected trying to access basic healthcare, because staff refuse to mask. Refuse to test. Refuse to isolate.
It’s eugenics, and we need people to realize it before it’s too late.
We need mandatory masks in healthcare. We must protect patients AND staff. We must protect even the ones who refuse to protect themselves.

We Need Mandatory Masking in Healthcare, and We Need it Now
Healthcare facilities should set the tone when it comes to masking. They should help patients protect themselves from Covid and other threats. Instead they push droplet dogma and put lives at risk.The Disabled Ginger
There are measles outbreaks in the U.S. and Canada. A disease we eradicated is making a comeback due to dangerous anti-vaxx rhetoric.
We need mandatory masking in healthcare, and we need it now.
A respirator protects against Covid, measles & more.
There’s no excuse to expose patients when we have the tools to prevent it:

A Plea to Maskless Healthcare Workers from Vulnerable Patients
If you see a mask - wear a mask. Better yet - wear a mask all the time and show us you understand that we're still IN a pandemic. We are depending on you to keep us safe - please don't betray that.Broadwaybabyto (The Disabled Ginger)
An unvaccinated child died of measles today, the first such death in almost ten years in the United States.
The FDA just cancelled an advisory meeting to discuss next season’s flu shots, mere days after a CDC vaccine advisory meeting was also cancelled.
RFK Jr is anti vaccine and anti science. His appointment to the head of HHS will have devastating consequences.
If you’re not up to date on your boosters, get them now.
If you’re unsure, talk with your doctor.
No matter what happens, remember that a well fitted mask like an N95 can provide excellent protection against airborne viruses and bacteria.
It’s time to mask up.

FDA cancels meeting to select flu strains for next season's shots
A Food and Drug Administration vaccine advisory committee meeting scheduled for March to select the strains to be included in next season's flu shot has been canceled, a panel member said Wednesday.Berkeley Lovelace Jr. (NBC News)
If you want to fight fascism? Wear a mask.
If you want to show solidarity with disabled people? Wear a mask.
If you want to protect your own health? Wear a mask.
If you recognize that no one is coming to save us? Wear a mask.
My ultimate guide to respirators looks at the early days of mask mandates, the rise of antimaskers, how to up your mask game for the ultimate personal protection and why we need to “fix our hearts or die”

We’re Witnessing the Fall of Public Health… and Your Best Tool is a Mask
Measles in Texas, bird flu in Louisiana, tuberculosis in Kansas and Covid everywhere. Public health has been dying a slow death for years, we can’t count on it anymore. What can we count on? A mask!Broadwaybabyto (The Disabled Ginger)

“If you’ve been fighting for Covid mitigations for the last five years - you more than likely saw this coming. It was painfully obvious when the great unmasking occurred that many people on BOTH sides of the aisle didn’t care about the “vulnerable”. Didn’t care about community or protecting their neighbours. Didn’t care about anything other than their own ability to go to brunch, travel, socialize and get ‘back to normal.’
I’m not saying people should have shuttered inside their homes forever. None of us are. But they should have kept masking. There was no reason to stop. Respirators are highly effective at stopping the spread of Covid. The vast majority of people CAN wear them. We have mask blocs all over the world to provide masks to people who can’t afford them. It’s a simple thing you can do to protect yourself and - perhaps more importantly - protect others.”
If you missed my latest - it’s about the U.S. election, disability rights, eugenics, fascism and how we got to where we are. Perhaps more importantly - it’s about what comes next.

How Did We Get Here and What Comes Next?
Disabled people have been warning others for nearly 5 years that eugenicist Covid policies would lead to a rise of fascist, racist, bigoted, misogynistic hatred. It's here now. So what’s next?Broadwaybabyto (The Disabled Ginger)
People spend their lives running from suffering. Doing whatever they can to avoid feeling pain. The idea of “forever suffering” is terrifying to them. I think this fear is behind a lot of the disdain we see directed at disabled people.
We remind others that suffering can be permanent. That it can’t always be outrun.
We exist in the grey. Our illnesses won’t kill us - but they also won’t ever get better. There’s no cure on the horizon. No “are you better yet?”
This reality scares the crap out of people.
As such - they pull away from us. They abandon us or treat us with such disdain that we walk away from them. The ones that stay often expect us to hide how sick we are. To plaster a smile on our face and say we’re “fine” so that they don’t have to feel uncomfortable.
When they ask how we’re feeling or if we’re “any better”… they don’t want to hear the truth. In fact - if you tell them the truth you could find yourself facing a lecture on “positive thinking” or how you just need to “try harder” and you will suddenly overcome your illnesses.
People are unable or unwilling to face the realities of chronic illness - so they make it harder for us to face it as well. They treat it like it’s our fault. Like we did something to become ill or like we could get better if we “really wanted to”.
They will push our boundaries, gaslight us and yes - put us at risk for covid. So this is your reminder that it is ok to set and hold boundaries. It’s ok to protect yourself. If someone won’t be there at your worst - they don’t deserve you.

Family Abandonment During Covid Pandemic. They 'Don't Do Sick'.
A look at relationship dynamics, ableism and the importance of setting (and sticking) to personal boundariesBroadwaybabyto (The Disabled Ginger)
People are angry that hospitals are bringing back mask mandates due to COVID outbreaks.
Patients like me are angry that we have to risk infection to get medical care. Some of us have died due to hospital acquired COVID.
Masks make sense in hospitals - why oppose them?
I’ve yet to hear a decent argument against mask mandates in hospitals.
The people who oppose them are almost always the ones screaming about how strong and healthy their immune systems are - so theoretically they never spend any time IN a hospital. Why do they care?
Inevitably people just trot out the tired “if your mask works then no one else needs one”… which just highlights that they’ve never spent any significant time in the hospital.
If you’re sick enough to need the hospital there’s decent odds something might prevent you from masking.
Even if you CAN mask - if you’re admitted what do you do when you need to eat, drink or brush your teeth? What if you require oxygen, having vomiting or airway complications?
The responsibility to stay covid safe shouldn’t be left to the patient.
It’s cruel and unusual punishment.
Mandatory masks mean that patients are protected by those around them - which is how it should be.
No one should have to risk covid to get care - and the normalization of hospital acquired covid needs to stop.
If you’re someone who opposes masks in healthcare - or who doesn’t understand WHY they’re necessary - please read my plea to healthcare workers.
Vulnerable patients feel unsafe. Expendable. Terrified.
Needing the hospital is scary enough - we shouldn’t have to worry about forced infection too:
