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

    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.

      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”.
