“Wellness” is eugenics adjacent. It’s always been about hiding or eliminating the disabled and chronically ill, not about actually helping them.

If you’re sick? It’s your fault. You didn’t try hard enough to get better. You didn’t eat the right foods, take the right potions or exercise enough.

Wellness “influencers” are exceedingly dangerous to disabled and chronically ill people, because they push the idea that we could get better if we ‘really wanted to’.

So why are we making one the US Surgeon General? And what does it mean for those of us living with chronic illness?

Why The New Surgeon General Pick Might Be The Most Dangerous One Yet

Wellness "Influencer" Casey Means has been selected as the next US Surgeon General, despite having an inactive medical license. Her viewpoints range from nonsensical to absurdly dangerous.

@broadwaybabyto The fascist impulse for #purity didn’t go away with World War 2.

There was some good work done by the UN in Germany, but that was pretty much the end of it.

What we’re seeing now across the western world is the return of that same impulse. Wearing a cross & carrying a yoga mat now — but the same.

Those gas chambers though? They were still unthinkable in 1932. It took 10 years, a dictator, and a world war to get there. And even then they were hidden away in Poland.

@gimulnautti and guess who they tested the gas chambers on? The disabled. Of course. The writing is on the wall and we need more people to pay attention!
