So, I’m not sure what percentage of this board is on the anti-vax train, but let’s get a general outline going here.
tetanus
polio
rabies
smallpox
and many other diseases
Have either been virtually eliminated by vaccines or at least vaccines have been proven beyond any doubt to work. Pic related. Josh Hightower had received an organ from somebody who had been bitten by a bat in Arkansas and died in Texas. He received a kidney for glomerulosclerosis that he had suffered since birth. He came down with rabies 27 days later and died. Why? Because the donor didn’t get a vaccine.
Anyone who believes in this anti-vax shit is stupid. And I’m not talking stupid in a “2+2=5” way but in an actual Darwin Award kind of way. Just about every disease that has a vaccine for it the vaccine has been PROVEN to prevent disease. I just don’t see how anybody could unironically believe that refusing to vaccinate their children for tetanus after they got cut by a rusty saw blade won’t result in the child getting lockjaw. How retarded are anti-vaxxers?

Nigger, you don't even know that rust does not cause tetanus.
Tetanus comes from a toxin put off by a bacteria. Rust has nothing to do with it. Not to mention a saw blade would be one of the least likely things to produce a good environment for tetenus blood poisoning. Deep puncture wounds, like those from nails (rusted or not), are the most dangerous because the bacteria c. tetani is anaerobic, so deep in the flesh where there is little air exposure, the bacteria can colonize.
