I was walking near my old house and there were raccoons congregated under the trees along the road. I tried to avoid them but one bit me while I was passing through. My dad took me to get a rabies vaccine but the vaccine apparently had hallucinogenic properties after the third shot (and only getting two would kill you) so after a while I started seeing my dad as a dog. He kept turning into different breeds but I only remember the Labrador.
Got too curious and watched a video about the rabies vaccine injection because of a show I was watching and it was kind of a trip.
I knew you would need, like, 4 or 5 injections, but I had no idea that a large dose of the vaccine had to be injected into the wound itself.
Okay, not literally into the wound. More like, around it and then under it. (but it looked very painful. In the video, the wound began to bleed again.)
Anyway, I know five people who would probably need a rabies vaccine at some point in their lives.
rabies vaccines for humans are extremely expensive, extremely painful, and only last for 1 year in the body. it's much more effective to give people post-exposure vaccines if they get bitten rather than put someone through immune system hell once a year unless they specifically work with animals.
Thank you anon for contributing and leading me down a google search path about variation in vaccine immunity duration. Finally I have a reasonable explanation for why we don't vaccinate for rabies.
Also, immunological memory is much more complicated than I thought, with underlying mechanisms that likely cause rabies immunity to be this short lived. I was under the impression that all thoroughly developed vaccines would have an immunity period of several years, with the exception of rapidly mutating pathogens like the flu. Turns out that this is in fact not the case.
Here's an interesting article about how complicated memory cells are:
Istg, if I ever get rabies because some dumb ass antivaxxer refused to vaccinate their dog, I’ll probably be doing the rest of my blogging from prison because I promise you, Imma curbstomp the shit out of the owner
My favorite part of the beat up version of Rafayel's Sea God outfit is that we can see the body markings are paint, rather than tattoos
Which clearly means that some lucky sonofabitch gets to paint him.
Imagine that being your job.
Imagine waking up in a utopia and knowing every day/every other day you get to go and paint Rafayel's freaking body. Because there is no way he's doing it on his own with how intricate the back details are.
So yeah. If ever you wondered what the best job in Lemuria would have been, I've definitely found it.
Overview
World Rabies Day 2022: One Health, Zero Deaths
This year’s theme will focus on One Health, coupled with the reminder of the “Zero by 30” goal and the fact that dog-mediated human rabies elimination is possible. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown the stark vulnerabilities of health systems but it also demonstrated what collaboration across sectors can achieve.

Know More About How Rabies can be Prevented with Rabies Vaccine
The rabies vaccination is a disease-prevention vaccine. A variety of Rabies Vaccine Market are available, all of which are both safe and effective. They can be used to prevent rabies before and after exposure to the rabies virus, which is most usually transmitted by dog or bat bites.
Rabies is primarily an animal illness. When humans are bitten or scratched by infected animals, they contract rabies. In the United States, human rabies is extremely rare. In the United States, bats, raccoons, skunks, and foxes are the most prevalent sources of human rabies infection. In other regions of the world, where dogs still carry rabies, rabies is more common. Bites from unvaccinated dogs are responsible for the majority of rabies deaths worldwide.
The central nervous system is infected by rabies. There may be no symptoms at first after being infected with rabies. Rabies can produce overall weakness, pain, fever, and headache weeks or even months after a bite. Delirium, strange behaviour, hallucinations, hydrophobia (fear of water), and insomnia may occur as the condition advances. Human rabies is almost always lethal if a person does not receive proper medical care following an exposure. Rabies can be avoided by vaccinating pets, avoiding away from wild animals, and getting medical help as soon as possible after probable exposures and before symptoms appear.
