I’ve noticed vaccine resistance among pet owners is growing and I’m starting to lose the will to educate people who are worried about “canine autism.” How hard do you try to inform the misinformed?

It is curious how far ignorance can go, animals have always been vaccinated to strengthen them and allow their lives to be longer and healthier, but now there is the fashion of not vaccinating animals, it is nothing more than a meaningless fashion. I usually show images of what causes pneumococcus and explain where this disease comes from, but I really can't fight ignorance every day.

As a veterinary assistant, it is usual for me to be the one who speaks with clients. I recently met an anti-vaccine person, he told me that his dog did not need to be vaccinated (he is an 8-month-old golden), I tried to explain to him why it was needed. vaccinate the puppy, but he told me that his children had not been vaccinated either, so I stopped and let him go on his way.

There is a law for the protection of animals, in this law it should be mandatory to vaccinate pets, whether they are common or exotic, vaccinating a pet is necessary to protect the animal and humans as well. I do not treat these types of people, I simply deny them entry to my veterinary clinic.

I studied for 6 years to be a veterinarian and then I spent 3 years specializing in the treatment of domestic animals, I have published scientific documents, I have treated more than 20K animals, and a person who saw a video on youtube or tik-tok has more credulity than me. This speaks of how misinformed a person can be, and how unfortunate. I try not to talk to those kinds of people because those kinds of positions bother me a lot.

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?
