but we live independently as disabled people and we should be able to access information independently as well and that's what alt text really empowers screen reader screen readers to be able
I like the point raised about living independently as disabled people, society should be set up in a way that we are all afforded the same choices in our every-day lives.
so when we think about ableism this is unchecked in our system throughout various ways being black like there's many ways institutions will will talk about racism 00:15:26 like here at ucsd we had a 21-day anti-racism challenge as much as i don't know how much that will actually substantially change things we don't talk about ableism i don't think 00:15:38 there's any institution that actually talks openly about ableism if one of your institutions talk about ableism openly feel free to share it in the chat i'd love to know about it but we don't really challenge ableism so 00:15:52 since we don't challenge it it's unchecked it can grow it can thrive it can take new forms it can mean that even if we have accommodations in a space
Ableism is already thriving, looking at it from an institutional perspective, the medical model of disability has gone a long way into informing what society thinks a disability is. And it is from this stand that most policies and teachings are made, creating a loop that feeds into ableism.
there's two different ways primary ways to think about disability and one is the medical model which this definition reflects and the other is the social model and so i'll talk a little bit more about the distinction between those two things
This model approaches disability as a problem, whereas the focus should be on ensuring accessibility for all.
particularly mrna or messenger rna and i want to tell you how that works okay so this is what coronavirus looks like a bugger isn't it it's crazy how this little thing can cause so much havoc in our bodies so 00:01:09 anyway the chromovirus has these proteins on the outside they're called spike proteins because they look like little spikes and so these proteins are what our body recognizes when it invades our body 00:01:21 okay and this guy right here is mr antibody he's one of the good guys part of our white blood cells okay when these guys are around they find all the bad guys in our body and they make 00:01:33 sure that they can't hurt us anymore all right but you can't get these guys unless you get sick or invaded by a bad guy that's when these things come out so there's no bad guys then there's no good guys okay because 00:01:46 good guys come after the back and for a room take care of all the bad guys does that make sense so what a vaccine does is it mimics our body's natural defense mechanisms when something was a foreign invader or a bad 00:01:58 guy gets into your body your body recognizes it as a bad guy who doesn't belong there and creates antibodies antibodies then fight off the infection okay and with a vaccine instead of having to get lots of bad guys into your 00:02:12 body and get the full-blown symptoms of being sick you take a little bit of the bad guy and putting into your body and your body can still recognize it as a bad guy and so now you have a bunch of antibodies being made antibodies fight 00:02:24 off the bad guys so for the copa vaccine the main ingredient or the active ingredient in the vaccine is mrna made from pieces of the spike protein of the coronavirus 00:02:37 so for this vaccine the kova vaccine all you need is a little bit of that mrna spike protein to put inside your body just a little bit and that's enough for your body to recognize it and make enough antibodies okay so you don't have 00:02:49 to get the full-blown disease or symptoms of that disease now you have a bunch of antibodies so the next time you come in contact with the coronavirus you get from somebody else or in a space where someone has it your body should have enough antibodies to fight off the 00:03:02 infection without you getting the full-blown disease i hope that's helpful
Great touch with avoiding the usual jargon associated with this topic!
hi there heartfelt poetry 7 and thank you so much for trusting me to answer this question for you and no it's not a silly or ignorant question especially with all of the misinformation that's been floating around lately so no it's not ignorant and i know that trust has 00:00:33 been pretty hard to build with the science community and whatnot so thank you so much for trusting me to answer this for you and i brought some friends along to help me out okay so here it goes
I think its great how Dr. Tolson manages to effectively explain the make-up of vaccines to non-career scientists who use this platform to ask questions and demystify concerns surrounding Covid.
