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

    Imagine getting rabies and dying cause someone thought vaccines make dogs autistic.

    Anti-vaxxers really do weaponize their lack of education against us.

    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”.

    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.

    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.

    At least those idiots don’t endanger kids. And you can send the animal protection brigade after them, keeps both sides busy.
