FOR PARENTS OF YOUNG KIDS IN THE US!

Someone over on bluesky posted this and I figured I'd better repost it here. It's the pre-RFK 2025 vaccination schedule for babies and young children, ya know, just in case it mysteriously disappears. Save this and give it to your child's pediatrician; tell them this is the schedule you want your child on.

We have the biggest scumbags in the world in the Republican Party.

The MAGA voters are clowns.

Vote them all out. Shun their opinions.

Universal Antivenom May Grow Out of Man Who Let Snakes Bite Him 200 Times

Scientists identified antibodies that neutralized the poison in whole or in part from the bites of cobras, mambas and other deadly species.

He is Florida Man enough to get MAGA to accept vaccines, though.

“I got depressed after 9/11 so let two cobras bite me.”

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.

Vaccines are suffering from their own success. They worked so well that people forgot why they are so necessary in the first place. They forgot the morbidity and mortality that was commonplace before vaccination efforts did their job.

But the truth of the matter is that anti-vaxxers are privileged. They are privileged to have grown up protected by vaccine mandates are herd immunity. They are privileged not to have been exposed to the reality of what it looks like when disease runs rampant. They are privileged to be in a position where they believe they have a “god-given” right to refuse vaccinations when so many less-fortunate people across the world have prayed for the chance to be vaccinated.

It disgusts me. Because there is no room for “my body, my choice” in this conversation. A fetus is not contagious, but guess what … viruses sure are. And with herd immunity nowhere to be found, it will be the children, elderly, and immunocompromised who suffer most.

I was lucky enough to grow up without seeing the devastating effects of polio, measles, mumps, or pertussis first hand. I’m praying that my future children will have the same privilege.
