Dog and cat vaccination mirrors precisely child vaccination – an alluring promise of safety, “supported by science”, variously mandated, income stream for the practitioner, covertly causing chronic illness and cancer, victim having no voice in the matter, another clown world triumph.

I decided to stop vaccinating my dog back in 2019. My vet was pushing annual vaccines for shots that were supposed to last 3 years saying it doesn’t hurt to still give them annually. My dog is under 7 lbs and I knew he was already getting a dose they’d give an 80+ lb dog so giving him 3 shots annually didn’t sit well. I also couldn’t help but think how much more revenue he would be getting charging $15 for each shot annually instead of every three years. A friend took her dog to a different vet in town and they refused to see her dog that needed emergency care unless she agreed to vaccinate. Seems to be the trend lately, if you don’t agree to the vaccines/medications you don’t get medical care. My dog is 15.5 now and hasn’t had any shots in 5.5 years. Fortunately my vet hasn’t pushed me and knows my position. However, when you make this choice you can’t board them at most facilities and need to find other options. There is always a carrot and more often a stick when making choices to opt out.
