Rabies Vaccine Kills Poodle in Boston

Channel 5 WCVB Boston Woman: Rabies Shot Killed my Poodle May 28, 2008

http://www.thebostonchannel.com:80/news/16410586/detail.html?rss=bos & taf=bos

When a Boston woman's 12 year old poodle died within hours of receiving a

rabies " booster " vaccination, the veterinarians interviewed by the TV

station covering the story concluded: rabies vaccine is necessary to protect

the public. Better safe than sorry.

In 1992, Michel F. Aubert, a French research scientist proved that a dog or

cat with at least 2 rabies inoculations has a less than 1 in 8 million

chance of contracting rabies if exposed. You by contrast have

a better than 1 in 600,000 chance of being struck by lightning in a

thunderstorm.

Furthermore, the Animal Veterinary Medical Association agreed in 2003 that

there is no medical necessity for re-administration of the rabies vaccine.

So either the veterinarians the station interviewed are years behind their

peers on the current knowledge of vaccinology or they are using the

reporters lack of specialized expertise in this area to protect their

practice income at the expense of our pets.

By virtue of its age, proximity of exposure and the administration of rabies

vaccine multiple times in its life, this poodle should have been exempt from

further inoculations against the rabies virus.

Yet this dog owner and consumers in all but 7 states are forced by

antiquated rabies control and prevention

ordinances to buy a product with no benefit and the potential for a great

deal of damage, even death.

Educating ourselves, our friends and family, elected officials and holding

veterinarians accountable for perpetuating fear and outdated information is

the only hope for reform.

Please call or e-mail the station, WCVB-TV, 781-449-0260 and ask them to do

a follow-up story. E-mail at sgriffin@.... Also, it

would be helpful if you could forward this to your network and ask them to

do the same! Any media coverage in the states bodes well for all states, so

please send an e-mail or make a quick call.

Scientific data indicate that vaccinating dogs against rabies every three

years, as most states require, is unnecessary. Studies have shown the

duration of protective immunity as measured by serum antibody titers against

rabies virus to persist for seven years post-vaccination. By validating the

'true' life of rabies virus immunity and moving to five and hopefully seven

years, we will decrease the risk of adverse reactions in our animals and

minimize their repeated exposure to foreign substances.

Killed vaccines like those for rabies virus can trigger immediate and

delayed adverse vaccine reactions (termed " vaccinosis " ) While there may be

immediate hypersensitivity reactions, other acute events tend to occur 24-72

hours afterwards, or up to 45 days later in the case of delayed reactions.

Reactions that have been documented include:

Behavior changes such as aggression and separation anxiety

Obsessive behavior,self-mutilation, tail chewing

Pica - eating wood, stones, earth, stool

Destructive behavior, shredding bedding

Seizures, epilepsy

Fibrosarcomas at injection site

Autoimmune diseases such as those affecting bone marrow and blood cells,

joints, eyes, skin, kidney, liver, bowel, and central nervous system.

Muscular weakness and or atrophy

Chronic digestive problems

My friend just had her 5 yr old dog vaccinated for rabies and it had

several seizures that evening for the first time.

She would have never made the connection had I not shared our story

of our niece having seizures after her 2nd flu innoculation.

I see red flags everywhere! Laurie

Hey - remember when had those seizures? Can you remember how old he was and if he had any vaccines around that time? Just thought that might have been a correlation.

Love you
