A return to pre-pandemic normal won't benefit everyone, especially the disability community. Over the last two years, increased digital access to work, health care and entertainment made life easier for those with disabilities. But access issues still remain. An October report from the CDC found people with a disability were less likely to get the COVID-19 vaccine, despite being less hesitant. This week, we talked to Ryan Honick — a DC-based disability advocate, speaker, wheelchair user and the founder of Wild Pitch Media. Honick answered our questions about how the disability community dealt with the pandemic and what gains they made during COVID-19.
