Veterinarian Debates Pet Rabies Vaccines, Risks and Titer Testing

There are thousands of pets dying out there every day.

While we've sat at this table,

five, six pets died in the United States from a

rabies vaccine they didn't need.

Anybody can walk in here, sit down, and say whatever they want, but I

gave you science.

I said to the state board, "If I had to kill an animal to obey that

law, would I have to do it?" They said, "Yes."

One rabies vaccine is good for life. All this is unnecessary.

If that dog had a titer check, it would not need a vaccination,

so this is the real

problem here.

I had put upstairs in the public health department forty-five

articles that show vaccines are dose-dependent.

Titers indicate immunity. It's been proven.

Okay, but who's the we? Who's the we?

The researchers. The researchers.

Oh.

These are the researchers. They're the ones who do the research.

Okay. I've spent my career in the

pharmaceutical-

And I've spent a career being a veterinarian-

Okay, but-

-watching animals die from rabies vaccines

... I see. I think I have before, but I completely

don't agree with what you're saying.

Do you know of any study that the vaccine can sometimes create

other health

concerns for animals? Can you talk a little bit about that?

Absolutely.

You get tumors at the injection sites.

You get im- autoimmune diseases that start later in life, but you get the

immediate reactions. Some dogs die immediately of anaphylaxis.

Others get just serum sickness, and they vomit, maybe hide under the

bed for a day or two. But if I lower my dose, right,

to protect the animal,

then I'm in trouble. So I have to do what the manufacturer

says, and

like the State Board of Connecticut said, if I have to kill my pet, I have to kill

my pet. It's the law. Well, guess what?

I have a Hippocratic oath that is greater than any law that's passed in

the state

of Connecticut that would make me kill my patient. I won't do it.
