    if you dont believe in this then you don’t believe science has made anything since before the lightbulb. This isnt even muh science, this vaccine is literally as fundamental as when acquired immunity was first theorized by Edward Jenner by using cowpox pus to immunize against smallpox.

    Attenuated (i.e. inert) rabies -> body makes antibodies -> real rabies -> adaptive immune response (faster and stronger)

    There’s not even the RNA -> protein step that made everyone get all buttmad about COVID vaccines. If you don’t believe the rabies vaccine then you don’t believe you can put children with chicken pox with other children. You don’t believe in AIDS. You have no idea why someone who got sick gets better.

    If you were equally as incredulous about physics and lived in San Francisco you’d have 2 cars and a boat so you could skip taking the Golden Gate Bridge. If you were that incredulous about music you’d think that being a drummer is a divine right passed to people by their creator. If you were that incredulous about food then you’d be eating raw meat (THEY DO THAT). It’s lunacy. It’s dumb and we all have to pay for it with these shitty viruses.

    People on this website make fun of Australia a lot, but the fact that to get rabies I’d have to actively try to get a dying flailing bat to bite me makes me feel safe.

      Oh - I can think of some ways. But I better not share them and why I’m thinking about them.

        I think a lot of people got dogs without thinking it through during the pandemic. I love my husky to death but taking care of her’s a big commitment.

            Puppies are absolutely great in ten minute bursts. Ten minutes of adorable a day? Fantastic. 24 hours of adorable? Oodles of pain.

          I don’t know if it’s just the oversight. Online at least, it seems that obnoxious dog owners outweighs obnoxious cat owners. Like whenever I see some annoying conservative or hippy dippy advocating for stupid “alternative” nonsense, they usually have a dog lol

        They’ve gotten worse where I live in that people used to get those fake service dog vests so they could take their dogs inside shops and restaurants. Now they just bring their dogs in without the vests. And stores have cut so many corners with hiring bare bones staff that no one’s around to tell them they can’t bring a dog in.
