    Oh finally! Me, having a intense interest in 15th to 20th century history, I can't wait for packs of rabid dogs to once again roam the streets, It'll be so awesome and such a cool reference. Maybe even bring dog catchers back with comically large nets?

      The dog catchers should capture the idiots too.

        Not really, it's just that before the rabies vaccine and before any sort of organizations to control animals, encountering roving animals with rabies was a real danger with no easy solution. You can still get rabies from nearly any animal, and I'm sure that people in the 3rd century and such got rabies too.

    Every time I see something like this I wish we had reloaded the save from 2016.

    Hard to think of any worse ways to die than rabies

    We should bring back public criticism sessions for antivaxxers

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

    As usual dog owners continue to be a danger to themselves and those around them.

      Have dog owners gotten even worse? I have a dog that I love and I take good care of, but like half the dog owners I see have horribly behaved dogs and don't seem to mind.

        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.

          My (now ex) wife and daughter got ours during the pandemic too. I ended up doing like 95% of the work with her, but I did end up doing the classic 'dad who didn't want the dog ends up loving it the most'. I still do not like puppies, other than for a few minutes. They are so annoying most of the time.

            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.

    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.

    Someone smarter than me make a synthesis of

    -crazy dog owners

    -long Covid

    -self-centered white people

    -Settlers

    -relaxed practices in bringing dogs everywhere

    -antinatalism

    -social isolation/atomization

      This is literally just 80 percent of people in any gated community. Although the antinatalism there is limited to non-whites.
