RABIES

Share with lawmakers if you like it.

For Politicians who are against vaccinations: are they ready to be bitten by unvaccinated rabid animals as they are opposing vaccines?

Are they ready to make a law to stop rabies vaccination to pets?
One example to ponder upon . This should be enough for them to stop arguing and stop taking any steps against vaccinations unless they prove by exposing themselves to rabid animals and willing to die the death of being a rabid patient which is miserable as outlined below.

Q: Symptoms in a patient of rabies:

Here are 5 key symptoms of rabies in humans:

1. Early Flu-Like Symptoms: Initial signs include fever, headache, general weakness, and discomfort, often accompanied by an unusual tingling, itching, or pain at the exposure site.
2. Anxiety, Confusion, and Agitation: As the virus attacks the central nervous system, it causes increasing anxiety, confusion, agitation, and hallucinations.
3. Hydrophobia (Fear of Water): A classic symptom where the patient has difficulty swallowing and experiences severe, involuntary spasms of the throat and diaphragm at the sight or even mention of water.
4. Aerophobia (Fear of Air Drafts): Similar to hydrophobia, patients may experience spasms and panic when exposed to fresh air or breezes.
5. Paralysis and Coma: The disease progresses to partial paralysis, followed by a coma, and ultimately leads to death due to cardiorespiratory failure.

Q: Rabies infection fatality in humans without treatment.. one line response

A: Rabies is virtually 100% fatal once clinical symptoms appear.

Q: What is best prevention of rabies? In 5-10 lines

A: The best prevention of rabies is a multi-layered approach:

1. Vaccinate Pets: Routinely vaccinate all dogs, cats, and ferrets to create a protective barrier between wildlife and humans.
2. Avoid Wildlife: Never approach, handle, or feed wild or stray animals, especially bats, raccoons, skunks, and foxes.
3. Seek Medical Care Immediately: If bitten or scratched by any animal, immediately and thoroughly wash the wound with soap and running water for at least 15 minutes. This is the most critical first step.
4. Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP): Promptly seek medical attention after a potential exposure. PEP involves a series of rabies vaccines and, if needed, rabies immunoglobulin, and is nearly 100% effective at preventing the disease if administered before symptoms appear.
5. Pre-Exposure Vaccination: People at high risk (e.g., veterinarians, animal handlers, travelers to rabies-endemic areas) should get vaccinated before potential exposure.

Are they ready to make a law to stop children and adults from getting vaccinated?

One example to ponder upon . This should be enough for them to stop arguing and stop taking any steps against vaccinations unless they prove by exposing themselves to be unvaccinated , untreated if infected with tetanus and willing to die the miserable death as outlined below.

Q: Do patients affected by tetanus die if not treated?and terminal events?

A: Yes, tetanus is frequently fatal if left untreated. The disease has an extremely high mortality rate, particularly in regions without access to modern intensive care support. For the most severe generalized form of tetanus, case fatality rates can approach 100% without medical intervention and remain significant (10-20%) even with advanced treatment.

The terminal events—the specific causes of death—are typically:

1. Respiratory Failure: This is the most common cause of death. Prolonged, severe spasms of the diaphragm and chest wall muscles paralyze the breathing mechanism, leading to asphyxiation.
2. Cardiac Arrest: The tetanus toxin causes severe dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system, which controls the heart. This leads to wildly fluctuating blood pressure and heart rate (autonomic instability), which can culminate in fatal cardiac arrest.
3. Secondary Complications: The body’s extreme rigidity and weakness can lead to life-threatening complications such as pneumonia (from inhaled secretions or immobility) and pulmonary embolism, which can be the immediate cause of death.

In essence, untreated tetanus leads to a tragic and agonizing death primarily due to the failure of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems caused by the potent neurotoxin.

Q: Please share 5 symptoms of untreated pt affected by tetanus?
A: Of course. Here are 5 symptoms of an untreated patient affected by tetanus:

1. Stiff Jaw (Trismus or “Lockjaw”): This is often the first and most recognizable symptom, causing difficulty opening the mouth or swallowing.
2. Painful Muscle Rigidity and Stiffness: Severe, painful muscle spasms and stiffness typically spread from the jaw and neck to the abdomen, back, and limbs.
3. Arched Back (Opisthotonos): Prolonged, severe spasms in the back muscles can cause the body to arch dramatically, with the head and heels pulled backward.
4. Autonomic Nervous System Dysfunction: This can lead to dangerous fluctuations in heart rate, blood pressure, and profuse sweating, even without physical exertion.
5. Breathing Difficulties and Asphyxia: Spasms in the chest and diaphragm muscles can interrupt breathing, which is the most common cause of death in untreated cases.

Q: Please share prevention of tetanus in one paragraph please
A: The most effective prevention of tetanus is a combination of routine vaccination and proper wound care. The primary method is through immunization with the DTaP vaccine during childhood, followed by booster shots with the Tdap vaccine every 10 years throughout adulthood. For any wound, especially deep, dirty, or puncture wounds, immediate and thorough cleaning with soap and clean running water is essential. If an injury occurs and an individual’s vaccinations are not up to date, seeking immediate medical attention for a tetanus booster and, in high-risk cases, tetanus immunoglobulin is critical to prevent the toxin from causing disease.

Q: study of unvaccinated children on health and economy

A:

Yes, numerous studies and epidemiological reports have documented higher incidences of vaccine-preventable diseases such as measles, polio, tetanus, and pertussis (whooping cough) in unvaccinated children compared to vaccinated ones. These diseases can lead to severe complications, hospitalizations, and fatalities, particularly in young children and infants who are too young to be fully vaccinated or are unvaccinated due to exemptions, hesitancy, or access issues. Below, I’ll summarize key findings from peer-reviewed studies, global health reports, and surveillance data, focusing on the diseases mentioned. The evidence consistently shows that unvaccinated children are at significantly higher risk, with vaccination programs estimated to prevent millions of deaths annually worldwide.

Studies on Disease Incidence in Unvaccinated Children

• A German national health survey (KiGGS) of over 17,000 children and adolescents found that unvaccinated individuals had markedly higher lifetime prevalence of pertussis (15.8% vs. 2.3% in vaccinated), measles (5.0% vs. 0.5%), mumps (9.6% vs. 1.2%), and rubella (3.9% vs. 0.2%). 1 47 The study noted that vaccine-preventable diseases affected unvaccinated children to a much greater degree.
• A pilot comparative study of U.S. homeschool children (aged 6-12) reported reduced odds of chickenpox and pertussis in vaccinated children, with unvaccinated children showing higher rates of these infections. 10 45 Vaccination was also associated with lower risks of complications like otitis media and pneumonia, which can stem from measles or pertussis.
• A Nigerian study comparing 25 vaccinated and 25 unvaccinated children over five years found that unvaccinated children had higher rates of measles (11 cases, including outbreaks) compared to vaccinated ones (only 1 mild case). 41 No polio or tetanus cases were noted in either group, but pertussis-like symptoms were suspected more in vaccinated children (though not confirmed).
• Global surveillance from the WHO and UNICEF indicates that unvaccinated children are disproportionately affected. For instance, in 2023, over 14.5 million children received no vaccines, leading to higher risks of outbreaks; measles acts as an “early warning” for immunity gaps. 5 6 7 In the U.S., unvaccinated children in low-coverage communities face 22-35 times higher risk of measles and nearly 6 times higher risk of pertussis. 8 30 42 46
• Some studies from low-income settings, like Guinea-Bissau, have reported mixed or counterintuitive findings. For example, early DTP (diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis) vaccination was associated with 2-5 times higher mortality in children aged 3-5 months compared to unvaccinated ones, potentially due to non-specific effects or interactions with other vaccines like oral polio vaccine (OPV). 15 16 54 However, these are observational and from high-mortality contexts, and global consensus emphasizes the net protective benefits of vaccination.

Fatalities in Unvaccinated Children

Fatalities from these diseases are well-documented, especially in unvaccinated infants under 6 months (too young for full vaccination) or in areas with low coverage. Vaccines are estimated to prevent 3.5-5 million deaths yearly from these and related diseases. 25 34 35 Specific examples include:

• Measles: Globally, an estimated 160,700 children under 5 died from vaccine-preventable diseases in 2018, with measles contributing significantly; 99% of deaths occur in unvaccinated or under-vaccinated populations. 20 21 28 38 In the U.S., pre-vaccine era saw 400-500 annual deaths; recent outbreaks (e.g., 2024 in Texas) have caused deaths in unvaccinated children. 4 42 A Nigerian study reported 2 measles deaths in unvaccinated children under 3. 41
• Polio: Before widespread vaccination, polio caused thousands of deaths and paralysis cases annually. In 2023, global estimates linked unvaccinated status to ongoing risks in endemic areas, with 2.1 million deaths in 5-24 year olds from various causes including vaccine-preventable ones. 12 22 36 No recent U.S. fatalities, but global modeling shows unvaccinated children at highest risk.
• Tetanus: Neonatal tetanus, often fatal, is rare in vaccinated populations but persists in unvaccinated ones. Global data show tetanus as a key contributor to under-5 mortality in low-coverage areas. 12 21 Studies note higher risks in unvaccinated infants, though specific fatality counts are bundled with other diseases.
• Pertussis: Unvaccinated infants face the highest fatality risk. A Chinese study of severe pertussis cases found 34.2% mortality, with 76.9% of deaths in unvaccinated infants under 6 weeks. 51 In Israel (2023 outbreak), one fatality occurred in an unvaccinated 10-week-old whose mother was unvaccinated during pregnancy. 50 In Kentucky (2024), two unvaccinated infants died from pertussis. 56 A Turkish PICU study reported high complications in unvaccinated infants under 2 months, with global estimates linking pertussis to tens of thousands of annual deaths in unvaccinated children. 53 20

Overall, unvaccinated children are 10-35 times more likely to contract these diseases, leading to higher hospitalization (e.g., 1 in 5 measles cases) and death rates. 11 30 37 Declining vaccination rates since the COVID-19 pandemic have led to resurgences, with 2024 U.S. pertussis cases over six times higher than 2023. 52 Sources like WHO, CDC, and peer-reviewed journals (e.g., The Lancet, JAMA) represent diverse stakeholders, including pro-vaccination public health bodies and observational studies noting potential limitations in certain vaccines’ effects.
