@_celia_bedelia_ I’m not bullying anyone, quite the opposite. I didn’t know who you were until you started tweeting at me and quote tweeting me an hour ago. I’ll ask again, if it’s not about COVID, then what exactly am I “fear mongering” over https://t.co/Vp8V5cX6jk — PolitiTweet.org

@_celia_bedelia_ If it’s not about COVID, then what exactly am I “fear mongering” over Celia — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@jewstein3000 Yeah let’s be real they don’t like when anyone does it. Anything that challenges their delusional denialist worldview is “fear mongering” — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

Fun when people are like “I don’t have a problem w/ vulnerable ppl with no followers posting about COVID’s long term harms and calling out denialism, I just have a problem when Taylor Lorenz, a very high profile medically vulnerable person does it, that’s fear mongering!” — PolitiTweet.org

@jewstein3000 Sending you love and solidarity! — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

If speaking publicly to my audience abt how covid can cause permanent health probs & calling out covid denialist rhetoric makes me an “a**hole” and “b*tch”, then it is what it is. I’d argue there’s nothing crueler than contributing to vulnerable ppl’s deaths & societal exclusion — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@EclecticRadical Yup — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@Mifield @kaitlinrh @_celia_bedelia_ Thank you @kaitlinrh for summarizing — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@ar_pnw @_celia_bedelia_ Thank you for sharing your story Austin, I’m so sorry for what you’ve been through — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

It shows how privileged a lot of these covid minimizers/covid denialists are when they start calling disabled ppl sharing links and using their platform to warn people about the dangers of long covid “fear monger.” They fundamentally do not seem to think Covid/LC will affect them — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@_celia_bedelia_ Clearly ur missing context. Mindy posted tweets pushing covid denialist rhetoric that kicked off an onslaught of harassment against disabled ppl. Then, she tweeted abt how she felt entitled to a safe train ride. I simply pointed out the cognitive dissonance btw the 2 statements — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@_celia_bedelia_ Celia, u don’t even follow me. Ur welcome to block me if you find my tweets that upsetting. But again, disabled, severely medically vulnerable ppl, including me, speaking publicly abt how covid can cause permanent health problems is not “fear mongering” in any sense of the word — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@galinash @mindyisser @mekosoff I guess hurling slurs doesn’t count as harassment — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@_celia_bedelia_ Just to be clear absolutely no one said that you want people to die because you’re traveling to work. What I did say is that disabled people speaking publicly about how covid can cause permanent health problems is not “fear mongering” in any sense of the word. — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

The point is we don’t want to stay locked away inside all day, that’s the ENTIRE POINT. The exact ppl who accuse us of trying to “lock everyone inside” are the ones advocating for policies that would keep disabled ppl locked out of safely participating in society indefinitely — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

Disabled people are fighting *to participate in society*. That’s all we want. We want robust layered covid protections that keep everyone safe and allow us to go to work, school, etc safely. No judgment here, but u should consider why that is so offensive to you. — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@Mifield @_celia_bedelia_ Ya disabled people (and those who care about long covid) speaking publicly about how covid can cause permanent health problems is not “fear mongering” in any sense of the word. OP continues to spout covid denialist minimizer rhetoric/say ableist stuff, not sure what else to say — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@_celia_bedelia_ No, calling ppl raising awareness abt how covid can leave u permanently sick "fear mongers", saying "the ship has sailed" on protections, & minimizing the virus, is in fact covid denialist rhetoric. I hope you can listen to the many disabled ppl who have tried to explain this. — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@mindyisser @mekosoff Calling ppl raising awareness abt how covid can leave u permanently sick "fear mongers", saying "clearly the ship has sailed" on protections, & minimizing the virus, is in fact covid denialist rhetoric. I hope you can listen to the many disabled ppl who have tried to explain that — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@mindyisser @mekosoff Your tweets, which included covid denialist rhetoric, instigated a pile on against disabled people. Your replies attacking disabled people are still public. I'd encourage you not to call other people freaks, but alas! — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@mindyisser @mekosoff Ahhh there it is. You posted Covid denialist rhetoric before kicking off an onslaught of harassment toward disabled people, who you've continued to attack and belittle. If calling that out makes me a bitch then so be it 🙃 — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

Glad to see the media covering this. As @julia_doubleday recently wrote, COVID can lead to heart damage, and not talking about that is supercharging anti-vax conspiracies https://t.co/FyyIaB4uHH — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

@mekosoff @mindyisser Nothing creepy about pointing out the cognitive dissonance between two public statements. Again, if we're talking harassment, I'd rather discuss the harassment disabled and medically vulnerable ppl dealt with as a result of her tweets. — PolitiTweet.org
