This is incoherent. Could you explain the connection more clearly? Why are you making this comparison to dismiss the observation that your initial comment was ableist?
I think its mean to be hyperbolic like, “well if you dont want to recognise disabled people, why dont we just make the whole world better?” Like, yeah dude, car dependency is a major problem that created a lot of needless harm to people and the living world.
Also, there are disabled people who drive and able-bodied people who don’t? Car dependency stratifies public space along the lines of class as well as ability. I genuinely just think you thought a eugenicist argument made sense and now you’re having a hard time rationalising it, but it’s possible I have not understood the message behind this second comment.
I’m saying there are easier simplier ways to get health outcomes than covid vaccines for everyone.
I’m not sure I follow the logic on COVID vaccines only being offered to vulnerable populations as a eugenicist argument. Those who need the vaccines get them free. Those who don’t need them don’t get them for free.
I’m fully aware I’ll probably get COVID for a third time. I’m equally aware I’ll probably just be sick for a couple days again. I’m not fully aware of what the impact of my 7th COVID booster will be on my personal health outcomes, or the health outcomes of others.
While not equal, it seems equitable to me. Perhaps I’m missing a key population who isn’t getting the vaccine who should be?
And to fully kill COVID, we don’t need a vaccine; we just need everyone to stay the fuck home for 3 weeks, but we’ve proven time and time again we’re incapable of that.
