Christ, I hope this is a troll.
Well, this happened to a 6-year-old. It's rough reading:
God fucking damn it how the fuck are people this dumb?!
Stupid or sadistic, and I'm leaning towards sadistic. There are people who enjoy watching their children suffer, and they justify it by saying "Suffering builds character". Or maybe it's God's plan. If God wants you to get sick, then you'll get sick. You shouldn't get vaccinated, because then you're interfering with God's plans!
I had somebody like this in my family.
This isn't dumb. This is psychotic.
I feel like the family should be liable, and the child taken to a family that's not dangerously stupid.
That makes me nauseous to read. I hope the hospital called CPS.
I am upset. I hope insurance denied their claim.
Honestly, if a health insurance provider finds out you’re antivax, they should have every right to drop you as a customer. It’s just too much risk on the insurance company’s part.
Or hell, the insurance companies could start tracking outbreaks to sue the antivaxers for damages. Because the antivaxers are intentionally putting others in harms way, which is increasing costs to the insurance companies.
I feel like that kid's life is hard enough without adding in abject poverty.
I like how you think those craptastic excuses for parents are ever gonna pay a dime of that bill.
Kinda low-key makes me wish for debtors prison. But just for these parents.
Jezus fucking christ
All that pain and money and his parents didn't learn a damn thing...
Naw bro, everyone knows that bentonite clay and raw local honey will cure anything and with enough electricity you also get a boxed lunch.
Pffft you youngsters with your fancy medicine. If he bleeds long enough THAT'LL KILL THE TETANUS.
No joke this is what an eight year old in one of my classes was saying many years ago. He was like "oh you just gotta get the blood all out" when it came to some cut he had. Another eight year old, looked over and sarcastically said, "Dr. <>" and rolled his eyes.
That's how stupid Facebook is, so stupid it's the glue chewer treating his own wound in a 3rd grade class.
If the patient keeps bleeding for long enough they will eventually die, and if the patient dies then their illness dies with them. 100 percent success rate.
I'd say it is. Tetanus is bacterial. Its not caused by rust. The rusty nail method of transmission isn't from a nail in a building like the post. Its from barns: stepping on an exposed nail in the past often happened in old rotting barns where animals would have been kept. The bacteria would be in animal feces, and would be in the dust/dirt of the barn, which would coat old exposed nails; go deep in mostly anerobic tissue and the bacteria would infect the bloodstream.
A rusty nail in the city won't have cow shit dust on it, so no tenanus.
Tetanus spores are in the dirt, everywhere, not just cow shit. The fear of rusty nails is because the wound needs to be relatively deep. It doesn't grow well in open wounds.
Tetanus spores are pretty much everywhere, and can survive dormant for literal years. But it can’t survive in aerobic conditions after blooming, which happens when it comes into contact with blood. So surface cuts aren’t really an issue regardless of what caused it, because the bloomed spores will quickly die in contact with air.
The association with rust is because rust is historically very good at harboring tetanus spores; This is regardless of whether or not an animal has shit nearby recently. It has a lot of jagged surface area for the spores to hide in, and punctures from rust tend to be accidental and deep enough to force the spores into the anaerobic tissue. Again, this can happen in seemingly shit-free dirt, because the spores can survive for so long that they’re basically present everywhere that has dirt.
Heh- no kidding.. thanks for that. The post still seems like bullshit though
My dad got it from inside a dirty house and cutting himself. You can get it from any wound from anything that has tetanus on it. Absolutely including a nail, rusty or otherwise.
yes, I have been corrected a bunch of times on this, thank you. my take away is I should probably get a booster
But what about nineanus?
