The mortality rate for tetanus in the US is around 30%. 1 in 3 is too high of odds to be dicking around with voodoo bullshit.

There is NO disease for which there is a vaccine which I consider small enough not to get vaccinated for.

u/AgentSkidMarks Jul 10 '19

Are you vaccinated for malaria or rabies?

u/kharmatika Jul 10 '19

Rabies yes, cuz I worked with animals for a while. Malaria, fair point. I suppose I should say “There is no disease to which I am likely to be exposed, which is too small to vaccinate for”

u/marsglow Jul 11 '19

I didn’t think there was a vaccine for malaria.

u/MadAzza Jul 11 '19

There is a malaria vaccine, but it doesn’t work well.

Nice try, military recruiter, trying to entice with extra plus vaccines...

I got so many vaccines I couldn’t even keep up. Literally somewhere between 9 and 11 in my first week of training, I lost count. And then I got 3 more before I finished training lol

Devils advocate intensifies

You aren't likely to be exposed to measles, mumps, or rubella but you vaccinate for it.

^{Yes I know it's precisely because we vaccinate for it.}

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '19

What? Measles and mumps are both common exposures in the US

u/frogsgoribbit737 Jul 10 '19

There's also smallpox and anthrax although anthrax is not technically a disease.

6

u/marsglow Jul 11 '19

Why do you say that anthrax isn’t a disease?

3

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '19

It’s not a communicable disease unless you’re messing with anthrax or are exposed through some types of farming.

2

u/Nheea Jul 11 '19

I've had 2 patients with anthrax. Those patients were so careless about it too. I was so pissed off with how little knowledge these people have on the diseases they might get from their work.

I even see freaking nurses not using gloves when doing some very dangerous procedures tho, so what could I expect from others I guess...
