>I think Butler's point about the rhetoric of 'herd immunity' - and its connection to utilitarian and capitalist assumptions that less-productive lives are inherently less worth saving - is very well made.

You do know that screaming "racism!" in no way changes the reality described by the disease model?!

I wonder, how are those, like poor white pedophiles, NOT fitting into Butler's identitarian dogma classified? Or does their deaths, from Covid-19 or otherwise, matter as little as their lives, as they slave for the "productive", like Butler?

>Yes, Butler's criticism of incarceration and state violence should extend to sex-offenders and paedophiles.

Should it? Really? I'd call that contradiction, since at least one pedophile is white or straight or male!
