To anyone who’s thinking this way
[id: a Twitter thread by Noah Tzedek reads,
Seeing so many people saying “I did everything right” as they say they have a breakthrough case of COVID. It is dangerous to moralize contracting a deadly disease. You cannot personal responsibility your way out of a public health disaster.
I understand the instinct to say “I did everything right” when there’s been an utter lack of national guidance, & we’re being told to manage a global pandemic on a hyper local level. We focus on what is in our control. This is also how our children react when being abused.
Because it feels safer to focus on what they can control than leave relationship with those harming them, who have power over them.
HIV/AIDS activists taught us about the danger of moralizing illness. They showed us the collective power we can have when we recognize it is governmental neglect that is placing us at risk, & our fates are intertwined.
