This particular convo is about people who are deliberately *choosing* not to vax for rabies, because of concerns about "overvaccination" and even--yes, really, I have had this said to me--dog "autism." It's the impact of vaccines being so successful that people don't *know* why it matters.
I spoke to someone on here recently who said that when vets tell people that if rabies is suspected, and there is no rabies vax on file, the dog will have to be put down, those people are less likely to refuse the vaccine. Let's hope.
Andrew Wakefield causing more dogs to die of 100% fatal rabies (and what may incidentally be the most gruesome mechanism of death in the animal kingdom) because of metastasizing eugenics has got to be one of the most unpredictable plotlines of our idiocracy.
And, oh, it’s not just a danger to the dogs.
