In Health Communism we spent a decent chunk of the book thinking against the idea that sick and disabled people don’t have the right to rebellion, protest or political speech—I feel like I’m seeing echos of Talcott Parsons & criminalization of SPK in so much rhetoric coming from Dems on mask bans 🧵

In the book we discuss two moments in history where beliefs that illness/disability disqualified someone from political protest/speech were used to deny rights & suppress movements. These 2 e.g. are really helpful to think with. 1st is Talcott Parsons' "sick role" theory
