“Immunity is a public space. And it can be occupied by those who choose not to carry immunity. For some of the mothers I know, a refusal to vaccinate falls under a broader resistance to capitalism. But refusing immunity as a form of civil disobedience bears an unsettling resemblance to the very structure the Occupy movement seeks to disrupt—a privileged 1 percent are sheltered from risk while they draw resources from the other 99 percent.”

“A good upbringing means not that you won't spill sauce on the tablecloth, but that you won't notice it when someone else does.”
― Anton Chekhov

“While we routinely call for more vaccine testing, and more human trials, the unspoken assumption is that we do not intend our children to be the subjects of those trials.”
― Eula Biss, On Immunity: An Inoculation

“The first fall made me stronger
Another and then the other one made me
hollow inside

The last fall will break me
But I will survive”
