Inappropriate Lockdown Labelling: "Vulnerable" (Matt's story, Video 2)
Please Report the Errrors?
one point
just started recording now.
So sorry, Matt. There was something else you wanted to say.
Yeah,
um,
the word vulnerable
now,
the press,
the TV
newspapers right across the board
have made the word vulnerable.
Massive. When it comes to
people with disability and covid.
And I can guarantee you
that there are millions of disabled people out there,
including myself,
they don't consider themselves
as vulnerable. I mean,
do I look vulnerable?
Not the like.
Do you know what I mean is
And
we need to move away from this work
vulnerable because
we are vulnerable.
Um,
so it's about kind. They thought of a different word. Um
oh, not not any words at all to be there
just well, because we're
we're all individuals. We're all
Yeah, we're we're just human beings.
I mean, are
you class
as the vulnerable? I know.
I don't believe so. Not according to the government anyway.
Exactly.
So why did they come
to disability?
They decided to call us one
room
just because
we cannot.
We're not mobile or
some of us stuggling with our mental health,
but that doesn't make you vulnerable.
Do you know what I mean?
We need to get away from this mindset.
And I hate the word
for sure.
You certainly don't come across as vulnerable.
Thank you for letting
us know.
