This means anybody bitten by a dog needs to go through with the pain and expense of rabies shots, since the dog owner may simply lie about the dog’s vaccination history
the rabies is a small price to pay to avoid the dog autism.
oh wait nvm they got it anyways by licking my hands after i took Ah sea toe min oh fin
I love how we have a way to save your dog from a disease with 100% lethality rate once there are symptoms, and brainwashed assholes still don’t trust it. If you don’t vaccinate your dog, it should be taken away. If an unvaccinated dog gets rabies, that person should never own a pet again.
Let their pets get rabies, maybe it’ll spread to the owners, and they’ll refuse the treatment
Rampant stupidity is at the root of so many of the world’s problems right now.
Stupid fucking morons.
This was actually the beginning of the antivax pipeline for my relative. They first became resistant to vaccinating their pets because according to them “our dogs and cats used to live a lot longer before all these vaccinations.”
It was only during and after COVID when they went antivax for humans as well.
Scary thing is, this person is a registered nurse still holding a license.
Humans have undeniably extended the lifespan of their pets, and a large part of that is due to vaccines
As more and more vaccines come online that seem to be complete game-changers when it comes to treating various cancers, I wonder if doctors are going to have to hide the fact from idiots that the treatments are, in fact, vaccines…
Even writing that, I have to facepalm.
I hate how this is supposedly the information age, and, at the same time, we seem to be surrounded by people doing some of the very dumbest of things. I mean, at the rate things are going, I’m waiting for some TikTok craze to take off where they are doing a “leech challenge”.
Imagine getting rabies and dying cause someone thought vaccines make dogs autistic.
Anti-vaxxers really do weaponize their lack of education against us.
Pawtism
I think my dog may be Autistic! Her communication skills are very lacking. It’s so bad that she is non-verbal. If only I had known about the risks of the rabies vaccine before it was too late lol
There’s no rule in the book that says a dog can’t be autistic
I despise anti-vaxxers
I worked in health care. The number of nurses who are fucking idiots is genuinely frightening
I had the honour to work with some amazing people, and also some of the dumbest fuckers to draw breath
A nurse that attended my wife during COVID told us she was on the fence about getting it. 😵
i wouldve reported her.
It’s actually not very difficult to become a nurse
The reality is that it’s quite possible to get through the training despite being very stupid
I was one. Like I said, I worked with some very good and talented people and some utter halfwits
My mother and my grandmother were nurses. They had zero patience for the anti-vaxx thing. My grandmother especially would get very heated when talking about it. Probably because she was old enough to have seen some shit. My mother was a boomer, so she had things in her memory, too, but my grandmother looked like she wanted to throttle anti-vaxxers when she’d talk about this (at the time) relatively new way to be an idiot.
I think the anti-vaccine buffoonery started to slip in during Gen X parents, especially the younger ones, just a bit, but really really seems to have taken off with Gen Y and younger.
I remember listening to skeptic podcasts a lot in mid-00s and early teens, and I remember the common refrain was that vaccines are basically victims of their own SUCCESS. The ignorant and scientifically incurious look around, and see not too many diseases. They hear anecdotes of the unvaxxed, or they themselves didn’t get vaxxed, and didn’t get sick. Thanks to herd immunity, really, but they think vaccines are not really needed, that “Big Pharma” is racking up huge megabucks for vaccines (lol), etc…this kind of thing is only really possible in generations where they have no first-hand experience or don’t believe what their parents/grandparents tell them about horrific outcomes of diseases that are largely preventable via vaccines.
it also falls in line of conservatives, one of my bro fell into the conservative manosphere recently have been " a hesitant of vaccine ever since" and another at work, and they said "it still exists?
Were they talking about Covid, or the Covid vaccine?
Oh, vaccines are absolutely a victim of their own success
As are the stupid who are protected from themselves in all sorts of ways
We could use a little more natural selection, but the stupid breed so prolifically, and young
It’s actually not very difficult to become a nurse
I’mma guess you don’t have a nursing degree?
It’s quite a pain. 3-4 years of college/Uni and then 3 years of a nursing program.
The nursing program takes a lot. I have two roommates who are in the same cohort, and it’s really not easy at all. Especially since most of the cohort are folks between 25-35 who have to hold down jobs, and have adult responsibilities.
I’m guessing you didn’t read the final sentences
still need to get a BSN and college though. yea i did hear they make bank, if they are travelling nurses or places that are desperate need of nurses. i assume NP are the ones getting extra grad school, and not the RNs.
Oh, gawd, FFS.
At least those idiots don’t endanger kids. And you can send the animal protection brigade after them, keeps both sides busy.
Unfortunately, their unvaxxed pets will inevitably spread diseases to people.
Wow! I live in a state that requires rabies vaccinations, so I had no clue that it wasn’t actually required in other states!
Can you really just lie about a rabies shot? I guess if you get bitten at the dog park and take the owners word? My dog has his rabies vaccination number on his tag. If it goes to LLE I thought they’d put the dog down to check for rabies during the autopsy. Regardless I’d still keep my dog current on all of his vaccinations, but I could never live with myself if my dog ended up dying because of me.
fun fact dogs, feral dogs are less likely to have rabies, because they are usually vaccinated already(maybe in countries like india, or the ME. the primary spreaders are skunks, RACCOONS, and bats being the most likely to give you rabies, since you cant vaccinate bats like you can raccoons or skunks. i think most of the cases came from bat bites.
My dog and I were attacked last year by an off-leash dog while walking our neighborhood. Both myself and the other owner had to provide proof of rabies vaccination to animal control. Their dog drew blood on me and mine punctured the other dog’s ear while defending me. If they couldn’t provide proof, or if there was history of previous human bites the dog would have been put down. In my state, anyway.
The vaccine I usually hear people turning down out here is the rattlesnake venom vaccine.
People have autistic pets now?
Jokes on the owners, it’s because the bitch was given Tylenol before she had her pups.
My dog is allergic to like everything and does not react great to the rabies shot. We get the three year shot and have her titrated every year and renew the shot if her titer gets below the vet determines. We get a letter every year with the titer. This is the only dog we have taken these steps. I guess what im saying is certain individuals or individual dogs can have issues but its rare cases.
Nobody is talking about that; problem is that a lot of people hold conspiracy theories and a rejecting the shots for dogs which can safely take the vaccine
