The rigid and frequently sadistic coronavirus mask and vaccine mandates went on to disproportionately affect the disabled. Parents of autistic children were forced off airplanes while those who could not wear masks or could not be vaccinated were denied service in public and private spaces.
Such people were often forbidden from entering hospitals to be with sick relatives and denied life-saving transplants and other medical treatments all in the name of safety, for their health, apparently. Disabled children across the globe, denied the services that painstakingly help them achieve the skills they need to exist, were forced to stay home, their families forced to watch as day after day they lost basic skills like speaking and feeding themselves.
And more often than not, the more blue the state, the more draconian its regulations became.
The political Left was utterly indifferent to the collateral damage of mask mandates and lockdowns on the disabled. It was only when mandates began to be lifted that blue state public policy and public health mandarins pivoted abruptly on their mask narrative and began claiming that they were necessary to protect the disabled and vulnerable.
So I am sure I am not the only relative of a disabled person who has been sickened by the absolute gall of the Left to now act like they are the defenders of the disabled in the wake of the train wreck Pennsylvania senatorial debate between John Fetterman and Dr. Mehmet Oz.
