Paul Alexander, cover art for Algorithm by Jean Mark Gawron (Berkley Books, 1978).
This post marks ten years of SCIENCE70 (see the first post here), which means that this blog has now been around as long as the decade it ostensibly covers.

As the pandemic marches on and makes people increasingly careless and hostile towards the vulnerable, I've lost all faith in my family and (Western) society.
People are way too far up in their asses to extend any compassion towards disabled people and would rather we just die than ever mask again, as seen by the death of the man who survived and thrived in the iron lung, Paul Alexander.
Paul was a lawyer and writer in his lifetime and still planned on accomplishing more, but because of people's refusal to respect his wishes, his happiness and safety, he contracted covid and died.
The disabled community was outraged by his senseless death, but what, pray tell, did the non-disabled populace say? "I could never live like that" and "it was his time."
You all decided his life wasn't worth living because you personally found his lifestyle contemptible, when the man was accomplished and joyful and optimistic about his future.
I try my best to see the good in humanity, but these last few years have been incredibly trying and hurtful, with how vocal people are about my life and the lives of other cripples not being worth living and how we should all just disappear and die already.

What this article doesn't say but others do is that Paul caught covid last month, and has died of complications related to covid, but the clowns will read that and say he didn't die of covid.
He caught covid and because of that he is no longer here.
Also i've seen comments from people saying they'd have rather died than live like he did.
The man, whilst living almost his whole life, lying down in a huge metal contraption, went through university and became a lawyer and a human rights campaigner. He changed a lot of poeples lives, he even did some of that just because he lived. He refused to accept less from people, which meant when obselesence lurked around the corner, he refused to accept a shorter life span just because living in an iron lung wasn't the norm to do. He forced medical staff to learn things they otherwise would not have learnt. He forced engineers to do things they otherwise would not have done. It would have been easy, i'm sure, to just give up and die of oxygen starvation outside of the machine just because somoene in some office somewhere tried to pursauide him that living was selfish in some way, but if anyone tried to do that, Paul certainly didn't go along with it.
(During the height of covid and the lockdowns, we had medical staff remove ventilators from perfectly otherwise well disabled people because apparently, they had no quality of life or reason to live and abled bodied people were automatically valued more.)
If anything, poeple should be angry that he was he held back from doing more because if he was capable of doing all that whilst IN AN IRON LUNG, imagine what he could have achieved had he not needed it.
RIP Paul Alexander.

The rare PKD blurb is intriguing, but that Paul Alexander cover art is rad as hell.

Paul Alexander contracted Polio when he was six and spent 72 years in an Iron Lung Machine. Polio was eliminated, in the wild, in 1979, but there have been outbreaks as recently as 2022. This, this horrible disease, and so many others, could be gone the ways of Smallpox, except for certain people who are unwilling to vaccinate.
