I am Autistic and struggle with a non verbal learning disability as well as some other mental and physical disabilities that I struggle with as well. I always thought that the forced sterilization of people like me was a horror of the past that had stopped happening and was made illegal decades ago. I am absolutely horrified to learn that this is still an ongoing practice that violates disabled people in the most egregious way without their consent. I hope this practice is made illegal soon, as it is unconstitutional and a human rights violation.
As someone with a disability that is not even the one being mocked, this is hurtful. The more hate and misinformation we put into the world, the more common it will be. Most platforms have policies against hate speech and mockery, so this podcast needs to go! These aren’t just “jokes”, these are harmful words that impact people’s access to healthcare.
As a former frontline healthcare worker now disabled by contracting Long Covid from a patient because I did NOT have access to proper medical personal protective equipment, their mocking of people like myself is absolutely disgusting! They should not be allowed to continue to have a public platform that allows this kind of sickening behavior.
As someone who was utterly disabled by long covid and who cares for many others in similar situations (as well as the 400 million people worldwide living with LC), it is despicable that two podcasters would joke about such a debilitating condition that has no known cure. It is not cool to make fun of people with other debilitating health conditions that have similar quality-of-life scores, but it is okay to do so with Long COVID? No. It's not. This is hate speech.
Long COVID is very real. I’ve written several articles about major hospitals around the country who have launched specialty clinics for long haulers. The lasting effects are very real and shouldn’t be mocked.
As someone disabled by LC for years now, I can hardly watch this clip… the comments are disgusting. LC is a postviral illness, no different from MECFS in many cases. MECFS has been recognized as a biological illness by the WHO since the 1960s. There are countless studies showing abnormalities in the body due to this devastating illness. The hosts of this podcast are mocking the only minority group which anyone can join at any time.
I was an 'essential worker' in 2020 and contracted covid for the first time early that year. I have been fighting with mounting chronic illness since, illness that only gets worse with each subsequent infection. Rhetoric like this isn't just tactless or crass, it's cruel, ableist and dangerous to disabled folk. This podcast should not be on your platform.
