CW: animal death, rabies

A horse just passed from aggressive rabies in Thatcher, AZ, and they couldn't euth it because it tried to attack anyone who came near, so it died in agony - they also couldn't shoot it to put it out of its misery because brain tissue has to be preserved for analysis by the state, and potential blood/brain matter spray from that method of death creates a rabies vector biohazard that can infect anyone or anything it comes in contact with. PLEASE make sure any animals you have that can have a rabies vaccine get it. It's a fairly inexpensive vaccine, and the peace of mind and protection it provides is worth it. Putting more description and the video of the horse under a readmore, all the content warnings, this video is truly horrifying, but I feel it is important for media evidence of what rabies can do to be out there for better information.

From the vet hospital's page: "This horse pulled into the clinic Monday afternoon at 1:30pm and was standing in the trailer. It went down in the trailer when we tried to get it out and it was dead two hours later. We were unable to get close to it in order to put it to sleep. Imagine the zombie apocalypse when the zombie is supposed to be dead and then jumps up and tries to chase the human with half its body gone. The horse presented after fighting with another horse over the corral fence, that horse was euthanized today by the office of the Arizona State Veterinarian due to significant exposure to rabies and not having ever been vaccinated. The horse destroyed a mesquite tree by trying to rip it apart with its mouth and the owner was somehow able to get it into the trailer without being injured and bring it to the clinic.

When it arrived it was mouth chomping and self mutilating its front leg. It went down and it trashed and it would try to attack you if you went into the trailer.

So if one nation is plunging into a dystopia, gutting it’s own scientific credentials and spouting unfounded opinions like a crazy drunk uncle (the one everybody hates) at a family gathering, take some comfort in that at least other nations are not complying with the crazy, and many of them will still have all of their scientifically backed information available online.

Acetaminophen is called paracetamol in Australia, and we’re still quite happily popping it in pregnancy, within the recommended daily limits.

Therapeutic Goods Administration recent statement.

Vaccines are great actually! They reduce both your risk of disease and the severity of disease! And considering Australia has a type of socialised healthcare system (Medicare) that means if an Australian citizen gets sick, the government ends up paying for most of that medical care, and all of the care in hospital. So it’s in the interest of the government to make recommendations that will keep people out of hospital as much as possible.

So maybe if you are in a country where you would have to pay for your own hospitalisation, or that of your children, you would prefer to take vaccine advice from one that has a motive to keep its citizens out of hospital. Though keep in mind other countries may have other endemic diseases.

One nation does not yet control the whole internet, so if things seem to go more off the rails over the next couple of years, just remember you can see what other nations are saying for their own health advice.

Y'all I now know 6 people on my area with covid and the new variant is fucking bonkers:

Lower quadrant abdominal pain

Back pain

Nausea/vomiting

Headache

Insomnia

Fatigue

No appetite

On top of the usual symptoms like brain fog and coughing. This pain mimics appendicitis so PLEASE be extra careful!

Mask up and get vaccinated, protect your immunocompromised neighbor AND your future self!

Thing is, I used to refuse the flu shot. I would get angry whenever someone mentioned it. My grandmother took it once and she felt sick, so obviously it was evil.

Besides, the flu wasn’t that bad! It’s not like anyone ever died from it or anything. 🙃

When covid happened and I started actually listening to immunocompromised people, I realized how bad I had been all those years before. I realized that even if the flu wasn’t a big deal to me, it was a big deal for them. And I just couldn’t live with myself if I caused someone else to die.

So I have masked since covid, and I will keep masking. Will you?
