Rabies is incredibly deadly. I think it’s only been successfully cured once in humans.

Are you by any chance German? In German it’s called Wundstarrkrampf (wound-stiff-cramp).

Since adopting my boyfriend and child substitute... I mean dog, I have learned that there are many dog owners who are anti-vax. Turns out all those conditions sneaky sneaky veterinarians are telling us are breed linked are actually just reactions to vaccinations.

Take care of your kid.

I would be really interested in some links for that, because it’s gotta be an entertaining blog that posts that kind of shit.

That is rough. You’ve got to protect your little one though.

It is funny, it is almost like the raise in autism is caused by people actually diagnosing it as autism instead of just calling someone “weird Jim” and locking him up in the attic like in olden times.

I was severely immuno-compromised during chemotherapy. I was told by my doctors to directly ask if children I came in contact with (strangers and friends, alike) were vaccinated. Don’t be embarrassed, they said, it could kill you. So I wore masked and asked uncomfortable questions. If people got mad, I would tell…

There is nothing - literally nothing - these wierdos will not espouse. Their explanation for a non-vaccinated child being diagnosed with autism? That it’s damage from the mother’s childhood vaccinations. Yes, the MMR is so Toxic (tm) that a single dose will turn the next generation autistic. Many anti-vax groups have…

Is the rabies shot series still magenta? I used to work in a doctor’s office back in the early 2000's and we had to special order Rabies vaccine for a woman who was working with feral animals. It was a lovely shade of magenta.

They also believe you can cure rabies with essential oils. They are refusing to vaccinate their animals,too. I spoke to my local vet in my small town, and even she is seeing a alarming drop in the number of people vaxxing their pets. It is absolutely crazy, they really think you can cure rabies. They are absolutely…

Tetanus is horrible. My high school biology book featured a picture of a young boy who had fallen victim to it. His entire body was contorted, but the worst thing was his face. It looked like the faces on the dug up, mummified bodies out of Pompeii. I’ve never been able to forget it.

If you’re still curious, I highly recommend Michael Willrich’s Pox, which is the story of forced smallpox vaccinations in the early 20th century. He goes into the science and the medicine of both the diseases and the vaccines (he talks about a lot of other stuff besides smallpox; that’s just the main pillar), and the…

Come on now, who ever even gets rabies anymore? It’s just magically went away in N. America over the last few decades for reasons that have nothing to to with extensive vaccination campaigns in the dog population.

The Essential Oils crazies make me want to self-mutilate. If lavender cured viruses, I’m pretty sure the medical community would be on that.

Tetanus is generally given as the DTAP/TDAP vaccine, so yeah, they’re against it.

Mostly Unrelated: The other day I had a close encounter with a rusty nail (thankfully it didn't penetrate my flipflop!) and I started thinking about tetanus shots, and then I started wondering if anti vaxx people are against tetanus and rabies shots. I fell down a google rabbithole (have a phone I can take in the…

I gave my dog vaccines. He grew up never even learning to talk. He poops outside in public. He refuses to wear pants. He can’t read or write.

yeah, “you’re a fake because I wasn’t very curious or bright when I was 12 years old” is an interesting defense that seems to be proving his point
