..."Adolescents Who Lived With Dogs Had Fewer Mental and Behavioral Problems"...well then, I suggest we get every member of congress three dogs and two cats. Can't hurt, can it?

Frances Lynch's avatar

I'd prefer we replace them with dogs and cats. I suggest we start tomorrow.

Jim Dandy's avatar

Great idea. I'd be happy to team up with a dog catcher. Somebody bring the dog, I'll catch the congress critter, and we can swap custody at the pound.

Frances Lynch's avatar

Ladies and gents, Operation Bowser is ON!

JanC1955's avatar

Tell that to the dogs and cats!

As a lifelong dog owner I fully confirm this article as being absolutely correct! I would add that owning dogs also stops you getting sick from passing coughs, colds, upset stomachs whilst also keeping you active and forcing you to go out for a walk, regardless of the weather. Win/win situation really.

I reckon they should do an experiment to see how many dog owners died only from Covid!!!! (none would be my estimate)

I am NOT administering this vaxx in my clinic. Likely never will. LNP tech being used.....The rabies vaxx induces production of Rabies Virus Glycoprotein, the EXACT inflammatory factor that causes rabies symptoms....and we all know that LNPs have the potential to cross the Blood Brain Barrier. IN SPITE of this, there is a group of militant vets(Likely paid by Merck) attacking anyone who doesn't go all in on these of being nutty conspiracy folks.....sound familiar? Oh and these vets are 'specialists' and 'experts.'

Any animal improves life!!

My favorite is horses...best quote "the outside of a horse, is good for the inside of a man"

Yes, the rabies shot is so unnecessary as most dogs don't freely roam in the woods cavorting with wild animals thereby risking rabies. They are domesticated animals! It is mandated that your dog get rabies vaccines in almost every state and that is because of Merck who manufactures the rabies vaccine. As per usual, it's always about money and not the health of the animal, be it human or animal! I refuse to vaccinate my dog for anything now after reading they are putting Mrna in vaccines for dogs. I am lucky in that I live in FL where I can get away with this, depending on the vet because it is also mandated here, but it also means no visits to the groomer or a place that boards dogs because you have to produce the vaccine record so NP, I learned to groom him myself and I save a ton of money in the process since it's now $100 per groom! I also save a ton of money by NOT vaccinating my dog and he is healthy and happy and perky at 12 yrs old. I am doing the right thing for him. When I need to go away, I am also lucky enough to have a neighbor who loves him and will keep him for me for a few days if need be. But trying to keep him safe is not easy from the Vet community sadly.

Zoetis manufactures about 65% of canine rabies vaccine (administered in US). Boehringer Ingelheim, about 12% and Merck about 10%.

Racoon run-ins are the major concern for rabies in dogs. The raccoon rabies reservoir extends through about 25 states - southeast, mid-Atlantic, northeast, New England. Skunks are the main reservoir in the Midwest and West, along with foxes, coyotes, and bats.

Lois Lassiter's avatar

I absolutely recommend rabies vaccine, just not the new one, NXT. I recommend the older killed virus versions.

Rabies is endemic to this country. I have had rabies outbreaks within 5 miles of my house twice in the last year.

You can think it's all about the money and I understand your concern, given the current state of veterinary medicine. The private equity groups are trying to ruin vet med like they did human med. There are still good, honest vets out there. Some of them even work in corporate practices because they have too.

I am not concerned if people choose to not vaccinate for everything EXCEPT rabies. If you are wrong, it's a death sentence. No treatment.

I am vaccinated for rabies. It's the last vaccine I took and I'm 61. I was vaccinated in vet school in 1994. I am not a cheerleader for vaccination, but rabies is an absolute necessity. Oh, and bats---one of the reservoirs for the disease in this country, can and will get in your house.....and may bite your dog or cat without you even knowing it.......

"The rabies vaxx induces production of Rabies Virus Glycoprotein, the EXACT inflammatory factor that causes rabies symptoms...."

Merck's mRNA rabies vaccine isn't even marketed in USA (yet). Why did you post this crazy misinformation? Drumming up business from wingnut pet owners?

Lois Lassiter's avatar

The NXT vaccine....not traditional rabies. The NXT vaccine is the one referenced in the article. And this is EXACTLY what it does. LOOK IT UP.

I just finished having a discussion about this on VIN. I asked the 'experts' and that is what they told me.

Literally from Google:

"The NXT rabies vaccine (and most modern rabies vaccines) works by prompting your cells to produce the Rabies Virus Glycoprotein (RABV-G), the critical surface protein that the virus uses to enter cells, allowing your immune system to build antibodies against it without getting sick, leading to protection. This protein is the main target for neutralizing antibodies and is key for viral entry, making it the central component for effective immunity. "

The only part they got wrong is that 'most rabies vaccines' cause the body to produce this protein. THAT is not true. Most current vaccines cause the body to respond to a KILLED virus that contains that protein, NOT to produce it.

The NXT vaccine is also using self amplifying RNA......which, to me is even scarier than the modRNA in the COVID vaccine.

The very protein that makes rabies so inflammatory to the nervous system is the one that NXT is coding cells to produce. This is the same scenario as in the COVID mRNA shots that code the body to produce SPIKE, which is what makes COVID inflammatory reactions......They used the same playbook.

The scary part is the finality of rabies infections. There is no such thing as a mild case of Rabies. Once you are symptomatic, you are dead man walking. A very few individuals have survived, but it's in the 10s worldwide. Rabies is rampant in the Third World...people die of it all the time.

The very fact that an accidental self injection(have actually accidentally vaccinated myself with a cat vaccine years ago--cats are FUN) of this stuff is possible, is horrifying to me. I'm betting there wasn't all that much testing done for this vaccine and likely not tested in humans at all....for obvious reasons.

The ONLY rabies vaccines I will every administer are killed whole virus vaccines.

Nigel Southway's avatar

Just that 'little detail' wrong? About "rabies vaccine" producing rabies virus glycoprotein? But only the vaccine that isn't even marketed in USA. And still cannot do what you're claiming.

And your LNP nonsense too. Shameful.

Lois Lassiter's avatar

The NXT vaccine is marketed here, just not the rabies(and ya gotta ask why......). And they all use LNP platforms....but what do I know? I'm just a vet with 30yrs experience and you are an internet influencer with a Ukraine flag in your X bio.....pahlease.

Y'all are soooooo predictable.

Troll more, troll....I am not afraid of you and the more you talk the dumber you sound. Quit while you are ahead.

I already weathered all this crap during COVID.....I didn't back down then and won't back down now.

Mary Makary's avatar

Buried in rage-whore Hulscher's drivel?

He regularly frames technically correct fragments (e.g., “the vaccine expresses rabies glycoprotein”) in ways that invite false inferences (e.g., equating antigen expression with rabies pathogenesis).

He collapses important distinctions (killed virus vs RNA-based expression; antigen vs neurotropic infection; peripheral immune activation vs CNS disease) while implying those distinctions are being “hidden.”

He shits out content optimized for outrage and alarm: dramatic language, insinuations of catastrophic risk, and rhetorical questions standing in for evidence.

Then when corrected he pivots or escalates, rather than acknowledge error or update claims.

Lois Lassiter's avatar

Not a he.....but way to be a misogynist!!!!

Lois Lassiter's avatar

Wow...y'all really have nothing else to do all day.

Mary Makary's avatar

Agree about private equity groups squeezing and ruining just about EVERYTHING they can. Acquiring and consolidating veterinary healthcare BIGLY. At least you're established and will be lucky enough to cash out (some). And kudos for not prominently hawking pricey "supplements" and gimmick diets at your website.

Karon Mitchell's avatar

Thanks for your expertise. Just watched today an interview Tucker Carlson did about what’s going on with the whole veterinary system and it was pretty shocking. All about the equity groups.

And, yes, I have had bats in my house that twice came down my chimney. (My late husband took care of that simply by turning on a light in the attic!) I’m persuaded by your testimony and I will take the rabies vaccine next opportunity.

Coprophilic Wellness's avatar

You aren't? Your website states otherwise (mybudgetvet). Thanks for showing pricing up-front.

Traditional rabies vaccines, the ones used for decades, are inactivated whole-virus vaccines, and DO NOT cause cells to manufacture rabies glycoprotein. Nor do recombinant viral-vector vaccines.

They present non-replicating viral antigens to the immune system.

Even in hypothetical or experimental platforms that express a viral antigen, expression of a single surface protein is NOTHING LIKE infection.

"The EXACT inflammatory factor that causes rabies symptoms”

Rabies symptoms are not caused by inflammation from glycoprotein alone.

Rabies is a neurotropic viral infection in which replicating live virus spreads via neurons, interferes with neurotransmission, and causes encephalitis with relatively little inflammation until late stages.

The glycoprotein is required for viral entry and immune recognition, but it does not reproduce rabies pathology by itself. No replication, no axonal transport, no synaptic dysfunction → no rabies.

“We all know that LNPs can cross the blood–brain barrier”

Rabies vaccines in current clinical use DO NOT USE LNPs at all, making this point irrelevant to real-world rabies vaccination.

But even if they did, your statement would be wildly misleading. Lipid nanoparticles do not freely or reliably cross the BBB. Brain exposure after peripheral injection is minimal, inconsistent, and orders of magnitude below toxic or infectious thresholds.

Lois Lassiter's avatar

And cue the attack. The Merck NXT vaccines absolutely use LNPs. The call it an RNA platform and are very vague about it in their packaging and promotion, but they absolutely do use LNPs. Traditional rabies vaccines, the ones I administer don't use LNPs. They are killed virus vaccines.

I don't trust the LNPs. I think they are more of a problem than the sketchy RNA. And the RNA in the Merck products are being touted as self amplifying. Oh, and I am so suuuuuuuuuure they are totally safe and effective. Well, they won't be going in my patients. The older rabies tech is highly effective, cheap and pretty darn safe....and I know that from 30 yrs of practice experience.....but go ahead, jump on the Pharma bandwagon and attack me. I'm telling the truth.

And no, I don't have a single dose of NXT vaccine in my clinic....come and see if you like.

Asshloles like you are CLEARLY paid by Pharma or just mentally ill.

Nigel Southway's avatar

You're the asshole muddling facts, for your reasons. Grifters and their boosters are always quick to make that "pharma shill" accusation. Go gobble up more Malone & Co. feces so you can shit them out, for your reasons ...

Religious Freedom Wellness's avatar

"I am NOT administering this vaxx in my clinic."

These wingnuts are ranting about rabies vaccine (mostly). And you're bizarrely incorrect sweeping statement statement was about "rabies vaccine," specifying nothing about Merck's NXT vaccines. And you're still making a wild claim about LNPs.

You're the one that sells this stuff, and stokes these lunatics. I'm sending screenshots and links to your nonsense to Georgia Board of Veterinary Medicine (if I can be bothered).

Lois Lassiter's avatar

I am not administering NXT vaccines in my clinic. Period. Please come look around. Ask Merck if I have ever ordered the vaccine from them. And honey bun, try googling NXT and see if it doesn't ALSO say there are LNPs used in the vaccine platform. How is that a state Board violation.....and you have NO STANDING to complain about opinions I have about medications I do or do not choose to use. If you were my client, I MIGHT listen to you, but you are some random internet bully trying to scare me. Into doing what, I don't know.....you think I'm gonna retract it? I'm not. What I posted is 100% true. And shame on you....these are the COVID tactics.....'I'm gonna report you for blah blah blah' What are you gonna say? Misinformation, disinformation or the fav....malinformation, which is information that is TRUE, but might dissuade someone from doing some profitable medical treatment.

Go ahead, report me for telling the truth. If the State Board takes it up, they will have on helluva fight on their hands.....oh, and they KNOW how I fight firsthand.

How bout this--if you disagree, just leave it at that instead of trying to doxx me and harass me. Or take it one step further and I will find out who you are and report you to the proper authorities.

And, since reading comprehension is an issue for you, I was referring to the vaccines noted in the article....you know the pick of the NXT vaccines? Yeah, that one...the one using LNP technology.

Go bother someone else.....

"Her particular talent is surgical efficiency."

Hilarious!

It sure isn't middle school English composition.

Lois Lassiter's avatar

Ya know what? Screw you.

Yes, I am surgically efficient AND proficient.

List of surgeries I do commonly--fracture repair(today I repaired an avulsed tibial tuberosity in a 17 wk old puppy and changed the bandage on an external fixator I placed on a 5lb poodle on Christmas eve). I do splenectomies, GDVs, gastrotomies, enterotomies, resection and anastamosis, perineal urethrostomies, soft palate resections, stenotic nares widening, enucleations, entropion surgery, cleft palate repair, aural hematoma repair, amputations, etc, etc, etc. I have performed, personally over 7,000 spays and neuters on dogs and cats, I geld horses, alpacas and llamas. I have neutered a pet skunk, I do pot bellied pig spays and neuters, goat and cattle castration, rabbit spay and neuter and for some unknown reason, got roped into doing sugar glider surgery. So, yeah, honey bunny, I am proficient at surgery AND efficient at it which is why it's less expensive than your corporate practice around the corner that takes so, perhaps you tried to read proficient, which I am as well.

In any case, I'm sure you aren't even a vet and just want to pile on and be an asshole like your buddy above.

Any time I comment on something like this, to cockroaches come out of the cracks.

'There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man?' is attributed to Churchill, but reportedly predated him.

'Man' not referring only to adult male humans, but to all people. As was common knowledge through the middle of the last century, the words 'man' and 'men', depending on context, to either adult males, or totally people. They come from the Latin 'manus' for 'hand'- not another body part.

Similarly, all drakes are ducks, but not all duck are drakes. All bitches are dogs, but not all dogs are bitches. All cows are cattle, but not all cattle are cows. What's good for the goose is good for the gander, but every goose is not a gander. ;-)

As a veterinarian and hippophile, you probably know this, but even the meaning of 'horse' as an adult "entire" male as well as all horses is another piece of once-common knowledge now vanishing.

https://great-american-adventures.com/what-is-an-entire-in-horse-racing/

Kudos to you for refusing to administer gene-altering technology being marketed as "vaccines". Given the published goals of the globalists, it seems likely the effects will not be beneficial for our beloved animals.

Donna Furnival's avatar

You are the very first veterinarian I've heard of that believes this way. May the universe bless you with success.

More great quotes from Churchill about horses:

• “Don’t give your son money; as far as you can afford it, give him horses. No one ever came to grief through riding horses. No hour of life is lost that is spent in the saddle. Young men have often been ruined through owning horses or through backing horses, but never through riding horses. Unless, of course, they break their necks. Which, taken at a gallop, is a very good death to die.” —My Early Life, 1930

• “Man has parted company with his trusty friend the horse and has sailed into the azure with the eagles, eagles being represented by the infernal combustion engine [loud laughter]…er, I mean internal combustion engine, ah, engine!” —Harvard University, 6 Sep 43

• “I have always considered that the substitution of the internal combustion engine for the horse marked a very gloomy milestone in the progress of mankind.” —Commons, 24 Jun 52

• “Among our Socialist opponents there is great confusion. Some of them regard private enterprise as a predatory tiger to be shot. Others look on it as a cow they can milk. Only a handful see it for what it really is—the strong and willing horse that pulls the whole cart along.” —Woodford, Essex, 29 Sep 59

The LNPs, lipid nano particles used to sneak the foreign genetic material* past the body's natural defenses, may also be shed by the recent "vaccinated" - with potential for human exposure.

*Synthetic, modified messenger RNA.

Thank you for being mindful of animals & humanity.

I am concerned about that, esp since I live in CA, and I think they pressure vaccination on the animal. I hope this doesn't rear-up at some get appt for when my cat needs care

By the way, this doesn’t mean you should kiss your dog in the mouth.

Lois Lassiter's avatar

I never initiate it, but I get face kissed by my dogs involuntarily all the time....still kicking.

I have kissed many a dog and cat. Is that why I now look like a tiger-wolf?

Dr Monica's avatar

BRAVO for this outstanding article!

NO doubt animals help us in many ways, including the microbiota, helping us be a bit more DIRTY!, and having more bacteria on our bodies, teaching our immune system to fight or accommodate them, and so on. We are nature, and have to live within nature, surrounded by plants and animals.

Loretta's avatar

Very well stated. Thank you.

mejbcart's avatar

This such 'a happy study' must have always a goal, get pets, for everyone, in particular your children. Only later you will find out that the best human friends all need to be 'vaccinated'!!!

I just wish to have an distribution experiment done, in which those animals injected with self-emplifying modmRNA genetic never to be degraded material, do leave that stuff even in their droppings??? If those victims poop into my garden veggies, do I need to worry??? If they pee on everything around, do we need to worry??? How many people until this day are affected by the shedding of even the FIRST GENERATION of the apparently NOT self-amplifying weapons????

Somebody REALLY WANTS US ALL DEAD, LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE SOUL.

Noel's avatar

So, after all the info about guilds, AMA, NIH, CDC, FDA and Big Pharma...what about the American Veterinary Medical Association which continues to likely get kick backs for supporting State laws about pet vaccines? No incident of domestic animal rabies, and likely immunity after first series and yet we cant even get an appointment unless shots are updated. They are killing and maiming our pets, likely by design. How do we begin to pressure them?

This information is also VERY ENCOURAGING and COMFORTING to my husband and me as we are 3 1/2 years into raising a Labrador Retriever that is STILL VERY PUPPY-MINDED! 😵‍💫

We LOVE the breed and she is our third and last Lab that we have raised from a pup. We chose to raise ONE MORE Lab from a pup since we believe it is SO important and beneficial for our teen Son to have a dog.

THANK YOU for sharing this information and this SAGE WARNING:

"One thing is clear: if dogs influence human mental health through microbial exchange, then altering dogs with self-amplifying RNA injections may disrupt that pathway entirely. Merck’s NOBIVAC NXT platform is currently being administered by veterinarians across the country for canine flu, rabies, and FLV. It would be wise to refrain from giving your pet this experimental saRNA injection."

In previous posts, you and/or Dr. McCullough had mentioned that veterinarians are already using mRNA shots for animals so I asked our vet if he is doing this. I was pleasantly SURPRISED and GRATEFUL that he is not currently and does not currently see any reason to switch to them at this time.

I plan to continue checking with him but at least he knows my husband and I do not believe they are safe and do NOT want them injected into our fur-Baby.

Fascinating study, Nicolas. I was raised with proximity to animals, including dogs, and find it curious that I have never had a dog approach me that was not friendly to me, and respectful to me. I have long wondered if dogs can sense something that reassures them, perhaps that I have no intent to harm them, through this process described in the study. Every dog I've ever met seems to be intent on licking my skin as soon as they can get away with it. Strange dogs, never before encountered, will often lie down at my feet, or rest a paw on my foot while I stand... I have often wondered why. This study does provide a possible answer to that question. I would offer that each biome has a different "scent", e.g. a horse smells like a horse, a bear smells like a bear, and a moose smells like a moose. Different biomes. Dogs can recognize a dog friendly biome, I'm guessing, due to their extraordinary sense of smell. Now proven, possibly, by this study. Interesting study. Thanks Nicolas. Happy New Year.

Sadly, the rabies 'vaccine' is still a requirement for dogs to enter into the USA. As a citizen of the corrupt country called Canada, I would love to travel to the USA but I won't put my dog at risk just to travel. Not sure who is in charge of this decision but it would be nice to have it removed.
