“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 I'm sure you got the message that it was your fault. I'm sure some people phrase it this way. I just think that its not 100% of health experts that talk this way.
@fo I didn’t say it was. I firmly believe both RFK Jr and Casey Means will blame the disabled though. They’ve said as much already.
