We humans are victims of our own success. Vaccines work so good at eradicating diseases that people haven't been exposed to the horrors that we used to. My family has a story about someone loosely related who contracted rabies and was chained to a tree until they died a few weeks later. This was no more than a generation before me!
People really aren't scared enough of diseases.
People are far more scared of inconvenience than death.
Most people would rather put their pet down than have to care for them in some new way that requires money and attention, and this is what people who don't understand autism think it is, like they will have to strap their dogs into a special chair and spoon-feed them.
Same with people. Most ignorant anti-vaxxers are far more terrified of being locked into caring for a disabled child than having a child die from a "natural" disease. And while they don't consciously think this way, some layer of their brain has indeed weighed this out and formed their opinions.
Rabies is in my top three fears, maybe even number one. Just an absolutely awful way to go, scared, in pain, can't drink water. I love water.
Rabies is in my top three fears, maybe even number one.
Same. I went on a road trip one summer a few years ago, and we decided to take a long detour through the Appalachian trail for part of the drive. We had all the windows down and the sunroof open, just enjoying the cool fresh air bc it was too disgustingly hot everywhere else outside of the mountains to roll them down. Anyway, we were going down this really narrow back road, seeing like 1 or 2 other cars every 45 mins to an hour, and eventually got to a point where we had to drive through a really old narrow tunnel like this one:

My first thought was, what if a bat flies in the car lmao. I demanded we roll up all the windows and shut the sunroof before we went through, and my husband made fun of me and said I was being ridiculous. I probably was, but there's way too many documented cases of people who were out in the wilderness, got a tiny bat scratch, didn't even realize it or think twice about it, then weeks or months later died a slow horrible death because of rabies. Even if you spend your last days in a hospital there's nothing they can really do by the time you're showing symptom except try to make you comfortable (which is probably impossible unless they just place you into a medically induced coma).
I also worked with a girl that grew up in Vietnam and said there were multiple times she got bit by stray dogs, and had to get rabies shots when she was a kid. I grew up in the sticks always playing with stray cats and dogs, but never thought twice about it back then. Definitely wouldn't be taking that risk now.
Anyway, tldr, some people seem to be under the impression a fear of encountering rabies is like a fear of someday encountering quicksand. I'll take my chances being ridiculous and overly safe to avoid it. Especially after reading the article and learning we've now got a fucking rabies outbreak to worry about on top of everything else going on in the U.S.
Because of vaccinations, my dog has a pretty low IQ. She can't even do simple arithmetic, she's non verbal, and cannot maintain eye contact. So sad.
My dog is licking his butt on a regular basis. I blame vaccines.
Mine eats cat shit. Must've been the Tylenol I took during adoption.
37 percent of Americans are irredeemably stupid. I see that number over and over for the stupidest shit.
I was just going to say that. I think in every country 36 or 37% will just believe random crazy shit and/or be fucking with the poll taker.
It sounds like a lot, but aren't IQ scores based on averages or means? That's about right then on stupid.
My dog is afraid of trains which is occasionally inconvenient for traveling somewhere far as we live car free.
If I had just paired his vaccines with Tylenol he would have instead been able to identify the year and model of every locamotive π and seek them out like he does now with french fries. π
The issue is that he can identify the year and model of every locomotive because of the vaccine induced autism, and this terrifies him because he is a dog and shouldn't be able to.
Today I learned that 37% of Americans are barely functional morons.
Compare this percentage with how many are MAGA and you start to see a distinct pattern.
"There was supposed to be a Venn diagram but all I see is one circle"
Low ball estimate for sure
that tracks with election results and presidential approval ratings
This is beyond stupid. Not least of which is because all dogs are already basicslly austistic toddlers when they're perfectly healthy.
And it's what makes them so fucking awesome.
No judgment. No bullshit. Just our best friend, here for a good time, but unfortunately not a long time. We could learn a lot from them.
Do these people understand that rabies is 100% fatal?
erm akchually 99.9999% fatal
Jeanna Giese survived without the vaccine due to an experimental treatment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabies#After_onset
Note that that treatment has failed at all other times than this one
Can we call it now? The usa is not a real nation that should be taken seriously.
Autistic dogs? You mean they will be more obsessed with catching that squirrel than normal?
No but they will have an entirely squirrel themed Magic deck.
Why stop at having your children die of preventable diseases when you can also have your pets die from preventable diseases?
While possibly killing you as well mind you.
Even if that's true.
Autism
Or
Rabies
What the actual fuck?
Genuinely what the fuck do they think a dog being autistic would look like
Have these people ever interacted with dogs? I'm pretty sure autism is their baseline.
Wait, so should one not been feeding dogs Tylenol this whole time, trying to make super dogs? Asking for a friend...
studies like these show Americans have a truly representative government now
Just in case anybody didn't read the article and doesn't already know: Wild animals infected with rabies aren't just the stereotypical raging aggressive terror beasts you see in the media, they can also be super friendly and usually docile.
Obviously the best advice is just to leave wild animals alone and keep your distance. However, if you see a feral or wild animal behaving in an uncharacteristic way, added caution is needed. This includes things like seeing traditionally nocturnal animals like skunks and raccoons out and about during the daytime or having them be unusually friendly / fearless / docile to the point where they don't retreat and may even come up to investigate you. It doesn't mean that they are infected with rabies, but that's definitely a potential symptom of rabies (but can also be a sign of other infectious diseases that should activate your spidey senses).
You are not a Disney princess and ~~Cinderella~~ Snow White is not a realistic presentation of how healthy wild animals act.
As with any statistic, 25-35% of people are completely brain dead or horrible people.
The brainworm won. And while Im not a fan of eugenics... I think america needs to do the rest of the world a solid and sterilize that 37% to protect the human race.
I just want to know what they put in the water in America to make everyone fight eachother... Who cares about autism in that context... :)
Even though i know its about capitalism and people are probably stressed to death trying to survive in that shitty country.
Facebook.
Itβs Facebook in the water.
Also, watch a Fox News broadcast for a bit. Then you will understand.
develop autism
And that's where you stop reading
