RECENTLY A NEWS ORGANIZATION ñ AN ARTICLE WAS
WRITTEN ABOUT THE EMERGENCE OF ANTI-VAXTER'S.
THEY HAVE BEEN
AROUND, THEY MADE A LOT OF HEADLINES IN RECENT YEARS
BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE THAT VACCINES WOULD LEAD TO AUTISM
AMONG CHILDREN.
OF COURSE THAT HAS BEEN DEBUNKED.
BUT THESE
PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT VACCINES FOR
THEIR PETS,
PARTICULARLY THEIR DOGS.
TO BE FAIR BROOKLYN PAPER DID NOT
INTERVIEW ANY OF THE ANTI-VAXTER'S.
HERE'S THE THING,
I HAVE A DOG AND I LOVE HIM.
I JUST FEEL LIKE WE ARE NOT WORTHY
OF DOGS.
THEY ARE PRECIOUS, INNOCENT PURE LOVING THINGS.
TAKE CARE OF YOUR DOG, IT'S NOT GOING TO GET AUTISM.
WHAT IS
WRONG WITH YOU?
>> I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO SAY THEY DID NOT INTERVIEW ANY
OF THE DOGS.
I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU WOULD FIND OUT IF A DOG IS
AUTISTIC.
DO YOU KNOW WHY?
BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT HUMANS.
>> ANOTHER VET SAID THIS.
>> TO BE FAIR THERE IS A RANGE OF PEOPLE IN THE ANTI-VACCINE
MOVEMENT, THEY ARE THE ONES THAT HAVE UNSUBSTANTIATED VIEWS.
AND
THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE CONCERNED ABOUT MERCURY AND SOME
OF THE VACCINES.
THAT IS AN INTERESTING THOUGHT.
THERE IS AN
INTELLIGENT PERSON THAT WANTED TO MAKE THE MERCURY CASE ON THE
SHOW.
NO ONE WILL DEBATE ANYONE WHO IS ANTI-VACCINE.
IT IS
AMAZING.
>>THAT IS REALLY STRANGE.
>>WE ASKED A TON OF PEOPLE AND COULDN'T FIND ANYONE.
DON'T
DISMISS EVERYONE OUT OF HAND.
AT THE SAME TIME, YOU NEED THOSE
VACCINES FOR HUMANS AND FOR DOGS.
IF YOUR DOG MAY HAVE
RABIES, YOU NEED A VACCINE.
YOU ARE NOT DOING YOUR DOG ANY
FAVORS BY NOT GETTING THE VACCINE, LET ALONE YOUR
NEIGHBORHOOD.
IF RABIES STARTS TO BREAK OUT IN BROOKLYN
AMONG HIPSTERS, I WOULD BE GREATLY AMUSED.
GO GET THE
VACCINES THE DOGS NEED IF YOU CARE ABOUT THEM.
>>MAYBE THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT THINK VACCINES ARE HARMFUL FOR
THEIR PETS.
BUT I THINK THE MAIN ISSUE IS THEY ARE EXPENSIVE.
I
FEEL LIKE THEY MIGHT BE USING THAT AS AN EXCUSE.
>> NO, I THINK HIPSTERS DEFINITELY BELIEVE IT.
>> THAT IS ALL YOU CAN REALLY DO BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T INTERVIEW
ANY OF THESE PEOPLE WHO REFUSE TO VACCINATE THEIR DOGS.
AT
LEAST WE HEARD FROM THE VETS, BUT JUST PLEASE VACCINATE
YOUR DOG.
>> YOU MIGHT WANT TO CHECK YOURSELF.
THIS IS PROBABLY NOT
THE HILL YOU WANT TO DIE ON, OR YOUR PETS TO
DIE ON.
REMEMBER,
ANIMALS ARE INNOCENT.
