Wild that rabies doesn’t scare people, but imaginary dog autism does.

Wait, so should one not been feeding dogs Tylenol this whole time, trying to make super dogs? Asking for a friend...

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.

Today I learned that 37% of Americans are barely functional morons.

37 percent of Americans are irredeemably stupid. I see that number over and over for the stupidest shit.

My dog is afraid of trains which is occasionally inconvenient for traveling somewhere far as we live car free.

If I had just paired his vaccines with Tylenol 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. 🍟

Do these people understand that rabies is 100% fatal?

Can we call it now? The usa is not a real nation that should be taken seriously.

Autistic dogs? You mean they will be more obsessed with catching that squirrel than normal?

Why stop at having your children die of preventable diseases when you can also have your pets die from preventable diseases?

Even if that's true.

Autism

Or

Rabies

What the actual fuck?

Have these people ever interacted with dogs? I'm pretty sure autism is their baseline.

Genuinely what the fuck do they think a dog being autistic would look like

studies like these show Americans have a truly representative government now

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.

People that dumb should have neither dogs nor kids.

Just in case anybody didn't read the article and doesn't already know: Wild animals infected with rabies aren't just the stereotypical raging aggressive terror beasts you see in the media, they can also be super friendly and usually docile.

Obviously the best advice is just to leave wild animals alone and keep your distance. However, if you see a feral or wild animal behaving in an uncharacteristic way, added caution is needed. This includes things like seeing traditionally nocturnal animals like skunks and raccoons out and about during the daytime or having them be unusually friendly / fearless / docile to the point where they don't retreat and may even come up to investigate you. It doesn't mean that they are infected with rabies, but that's definitely a potential symptom of rabies (but can also be a sign of other infectious diseases that should activate your spidey senses).

You are not a Disney princess and ~~Cinderella~~ Snow White is not a realistic presentation of how healthy wild animals act.

This is so stupid that it makes me think maybe the "great filter" (the reason we don't see space-faring civilizations everywhere) is actually that life forms who evolved by fighting for survival and going through natural selection cannot psychologically handle a post-scarcity society. It's like when the threats disappear everybody forgets they exist even if they are well documented historically.

Related: if you don't know about how horrifying a disease is, go search for some articles and copypasta about it. Congrats on being one of today's (un)lucky 10,000!

As with any statistic, 25-35% of people are completely brain dead or horrible people.

develop autism

And that's where you stop reading

Fun fact: Rabies is pretty much the most-lethal disease ever. A diagnosis is an absolute death sentence, followed by an agonizing death.
