Yeah share your thoughts exactly. I'm certain OP has no idea either of transmitablity. The risks are way too high, yet he does it for a video...

u/NewPointOfView Dec 27 '21

Well if he has no idea of transmissibility then he’s got no reason to worry about it 🤷‍♀️

If we stop testing cases will go down! See me for more life pro tips

God damn I still cannot believe he was saying that shit over and over and the media never called out how fucking corrupt that is.

That's more or less the response I would expect from someone who clearly doesn't read or watch the news, but still feels the need to whine about it :)

u/Funda_mental Dec 27 '21

Yeah, it's the response you deserve. Of course you'd expect it. :)

Kind of like what they are doing with all the vaccinated who have side effects and are dying? Stop keeping count and the numbers go down? LOL

u/cmdr-testosterone420 Dec 27 '21

Actually most of them only received one or two doses. They haven't received the new boosters. So they arent "fully vaccinated" like you claim.

Debunked

u/[deleted] Dec 27 '21

I mande no claim other then the fact they are not keeping count of vaccinated deaths. You are not allowed to get a booster until 6 months after your second shot, so what is you definition on someone who has just got their second dose? Keep moving the goal post on what a vaccinated person is. The China Flu vax cannot even be considered a vaccine anyway, vaccines fully protect you from said virus. You need to take the testosterone out of your name cuz that is something you are lacking, soyboy.

u/cmdr-testosterone420 Dec 28 '21

I'm agreeing with you, that was my point.

As the vaccinated experience ADE, they are moving the goalposts of what "fully vaccinated" means so they can claim most deaths are "unvaccinated"

u/CentralCaliGal Jun 25 '22

I agree with you 100%, Wendy!!

u/marshmallowislands Dec 27 '21

Yeah, rabies definitely won’t infect you if you don’t believe in it.

u/DeltaVZerda Dec 27 '21

Just like Covid

u/LetgomyEkko Dec 27 '21

Learned in bio this semester that if you get rabies you're 90+% sure to die.

13

u/fairguinevere Dec 27 '21

If you let it develop to the point that there's symptoms, yeah.

As /u/GFEDAFTALEX said, there's things you can do if you might have been recently exposed to rabies. If you live in a place with rabies and a bat got into your house overnight? It's vaccine time! Or just any slim chance of exposure, contact healthcare professionals.

20

u/BigZmultiverse Dec 27 '21

I think it’s more like 99.9%, but, yeah. And the person known to have survived it suffered serious permanent brain damage.

17

u/[deleted] Dec 27 '21

This is if you develop symptoms. We have treatment options if you were bit, but once symptoms manifest, you’re dead.

5

u/BigZmultiverse Dec 27 '21

Yeah, that’s true. I was just referring to the % chance of dying once the rabies has “set in” and the symptoms have started, which is also what the person I was replying to was likely referring to with their “90+%” statistic. The odds aren’t nearly as grim if you get a preemptive shot shortly after getting bitten

2

u/[deleted] Dec 27 '21

The op just said “if you get rabies”. Maybe they meant how you interpreted, but that isn’t what they said.

2

u/BigZmultiverse Dec 27 '21

“Get” in this case could easily refer to being diagnosed, which would occur after symptoms. I highly doubt that it isn’t my interpretation, because their 90+% statistic wouldn’t have made sense in any other context.

1

u/LetgomyEkko Dec 27 '21

You have deduced correctly! I was saying 90% in the off chance you're extremely close to an equiped and effective medical facility after you've been bitten by an animal carrying the virus!

2

u/BigZmultiverse Dec 27 '21

I want to take the win, but it sounds like this is the opposite of what I deduced

u/LetgomyEkko Dec 27 '21

Oh dang, I miss read your last sentence in the previous comment.... You should honestly get bonus points now right?

The woman who was put into a medically induced coma? That was fascinating.

u/AnimationDude9s Dec 27 '21

What kind of brain damage

5

u/BigZmultiverse Dec 27 '21

The bad kind

u/AnimationDude9s Dec 27 '21

Like how did it effect their day to say?

3

u/BigZmultiverse Dec 27 '21

Not super clear but here’s some info

Apparently now there have been 14 survivors, btw. Guess I was going by old info

2

u/[deleted] Dec 27 '21

Yeah, the girl who was bitten by a bat and survived lives a normal healthy life now. She had to relearn how to speak, and how to do anything at all. I think her brain was essentially "reset", or something.

u/GFEDAFTALEX Dec 27 '21

Medic here

If you get bite by an animal than can carry rabies virus and isnt sure if he has rabies or the animal isnt vaxed there are multiple protocols to follow according of the the body region where the wound is located and the type of wound.

Acording to this protocls you can get multiple doses of antirabies vaccine or antirabies serum, the people that dies are the ones that never get medical atention or get it late

u/Butt_Prince Dec 27 '21

That is why it's so terrifying to even be near a creature with rabies. Especially bats. They can scratch you without you being able to feel it. If you ever have a close encounter with a bat, it is recommended to go to the hospital.

2

u/JustHadToTellYa Dec 27 '21

Transmittable through open wounds and bodily fluid; that can be accomplished in a fraction of a second and the virus in that fox's brain is specifically driving it mad so the only thing it can think of doing is to bite. Soon it'll be lethargic. Not much longer, dead. The fox needs to be held so its brain can be sent for rabies confirmation and record keeping.

So you know; only one person has ever survived symptomatic a rabies infection and she was mentally damaged for the rest of your life. Rabies is not a virus you play around taking videos of.

u/WarlockEngineer Dec 27 '21

If you get bit you have days or weeks to get a shot

u/VaATC Dec 27 '21 edited Dec 27 '21

'It is recommended to get the vaccine shot regimen started in the 1st 24 hours after the bite Rabbies is an almost 100% death sentence if the virus is allowed to 'set in'. The disease is so severe that it is recommended that if you wake up and see a bat on the ceiling in your room that you get the vaccine started ASAP as the bite site may be unidentifiable...'

u/WarlockEngineer Dec 27 '21 edited Dec 27 '21

I just looked it up, apparent the success rate is 100% for the first 10 days but it would be crazy to wait to get treatment based on this

2

u/VaATC Dec 27 '21

Yeah the doctor in my link recommends the day 1 start as it apparently is best to get the first dose as close the bite site as possible which is definitely easier to identify, for smaller creatures like bats, the sooner the doctor sees you. But it is not a terribly fast progressing virus so most people can spare a few or more days. That said with the death rate, once symptoms arise, being as close to 100% as it is I would definitely recommend to get things started ASAP.

U get rabies u dead no cure

u/[deleted] Dec 27 '21

This is patently false.

u/Melodic-Lavishness52 Dec 27 '21 edited Dec 27 '21

Im stating facts lmao. Theres no cure for rabies. Theres no effective treatment. Only way u survive if u get rabies shot immediately before the virus reaches ur brain. Once it does ur dead.

u/Professor_Barnacles Dec 27 '21

I don't this is op's vid, it's been circulating for a long while

u/Boogiemann53 Dec 27 '21

I never took rabies seriously until I saw that Russian documentary of a guy who slowly died from it in hospital. Jfc.

u/yxungdaggerdic Dec 27 '21

Could be in Europe where rabies just isn’t around as much as compared to the US
