I read a news story about a guy who died from rabies after receiving a kidney transplant. Although nobody was aware when he died, the donor of the kidney had contracted rabies after being scratched by a skunk several weeks before he died and his organs were harvested.
I got curious about how the donor got scratched by the skunk, but instead only found this article from August, which informed me that the U.S. has a rabies outbreak, and has more deaths from rabies in the last year than several previous years…
Not sure if people were already talking about this outbreak, and I just missed it? It’s been a bit of a weird year, and there’s been a lot of crazy shit to keep up with.
Anyway, this is also how I ended up reading the sentence informing me some people are worried dogs are getting autism from vaccines.
Outbreaks of rabies seem to be rising across the U.S., CDC surveillance shows
Dumbest nation on earth.
studies like these show Americans have a truly representative government now
And the award for most depressing comment of the day goes to Jhex. Ugh. I hate how accurate that statement is.
I agree… I hate my own comment
Let’s be real. This is the reason Conservatives and anti vaxxers fear autism.
Is he even autistic?
Everything about how he presents himself screams so.
There’s practicially nothing about him that ‘screams’ autistic. It’s a wide spectrum, so it may be different for each person, and may show different signs. Still, this dipshit fits almost none of that.
Unless by ‘autistic’ you simply mean ‘retarded’, then no. He does not appear to be autistic.
I’m pretty sure a while back he mentioned he was diagnosed with Asperger’s, whether it is true I don’t know. I don’t doubt it highly

And that’s where you stop reading
Why is my country so stupid?
Capitalism.
There times when I see obvious disinformation attacking America, and I will immediately stand up for my country and call out the bullshit.
Then I see something like this, and it leaves me feeling like I just stood up for a family member I felt was being unfairly picked on, who in response immediately decided to shit his pants and light a cigarette while filling up his car with gas.
I never thought I’d see the day where someone accurately described my outlook. Thanks, I hate it

Solve it with enforcement. If they have to come out over a dog issue and the fucking thing don’t have a rabies vaccination, it gets put down. No exceptions. The dog doesn’t have any religious affiliation so that argument won’t work either.
That’s generally how it works if your dog or cat (or squirrel) bites someone. Unless you can provide proof of a current vaccination, the animal has to get tested for rabies. This involves getting a sample of brain tissue. For pet owners that seems excessive, but for someone who has seen a rabies infection first-hand, there is no animal valuable enough to skip that test
My dog is afraid of trains which is occasionally inconvenient for traveling somewhere far as we live car free.
If I had just skipped his vaccines he would have instead been able to identify the year and model of every locamotive 🚂 and seek them out like he does now with french fries. 🍟
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.
Wait, so should one not been feeding dogs Tylenol this whole time, trying to make super dogs? Asking for a friend…
Fun fact: Rabies is pretty much the most-lethal disease ever. A diagnosis is an absolute death sentence, followed by an agonizing death.
Just because I’ve had so many people tell me “I didn’t need so many meds/a walker/ oxygen up my nose until I came to the hospital”, I want to point out that the diagnosis itself is not the death sentence. As the organ donor showed, even if no one knows you have rabies, rabies will kill you dead.
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.
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.
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.
My dog’s hair is going grey. I blame vaccines
I-can dogs even be autistic?
Dogs are great, but even if they were autistic would anyone even notice?
Yes, except just like human children, they are often just treated as difficult or badly behaved by adults who do not understand that they are autistic.
Of course, it’s a cognitive spectrum that probably effects all mammals at least, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s far more prevalent than that
Children from international adoptions sometimes have something like an acquired autism - life is completely regulated and food and water and needed items are delivered and removed on schedules and the child has no impact on their environment. I had a couple of greyhounds that were trained to race as pups. They had some AU tendencies. I bet some other pups develop those to.
Let me go ask my dog if they’re autistic. They’re right over here, screaming about how it’s already 5:31 and I haven’t given them their 5:30 treat yet.
Honestly I think my dog might be. Very particular. Likes routine. Has sensory related triggers. Always finds the dark secluded corner of things get noisy in the house.
That’s a normal dog thing
That’s the joke
Uh, why not?
That’s a question that is very hard to answer. Dogs have a similar-ish brain structure but there’s a good chance you need a massive prefrontal cortex to have a chance of getting autism.
Today I learned that 37% of Americans are barely functional morons.
how esle do you explain Pedonald voted in twice?
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”
It’s probably more like 37% of dog owners.
and at least 68% of Americans are cognitively impaired.
Is that before or after covid?
54% of us read at a 6th grade level. You do not hate your neighbors to the south nearly enough
that tracks with election results and presidential approval ratings
Low ball estimate for sure
Yeah.
We’re stupid.
