  1. The anti-woke and the fash are clearly on a winning streak, and have been so for a while. And yet they seem just as angry and just as victim complexy as ever.

    Do they even enjoy their victory at all? Never have I seen a social movement that everyone knew about be crushed so thoroughly and so quickly as woke was – so why aren't they cheering?

    What's the point of destroying so many peoples lives if they can't even feel happy about it?

  2. "Cats cannot catch colds from humans and vice versa.
    Caused by viruses like feline herpesvirus and calicivirus, cold symptoms in cats include sneezing and runny nose.
    Cats catch colds through droplets in air, direct contact, and shared items, and stress can increase susceptibility.
    Treatment may include medication, supportive care, and keeping your cat comfortable at home.
    Regular vaccinations, good hygiene, and stress reduction can help prevent cat colds. "

    "You may have heard that these conditions are rare in the UK.
    They’re rare because of vaccination."
    "In a study involving nearly half a million vaccinated cats, only a small fraction, about 0.5%, experienced adverse reactions to a vaccine.
    [These reactions indicate] an unusual immune response in some cats." pethealthclub.com/uk/pet-advic

    "What are the main cat vaccinations side effects?

    Vaccines play an important role in protecting your cat's health by training their immune system to fight infections. In a study involving nearly half a million vaccinated cats, only a small fraction, about 0.5%, experienced adverse reactions to a vaccine.

    While these reactions can be unpredictable, they don't necessarily indicate a problem with the vaccine or its administration, but rather an unusual immune response in some cats. Here is a table listing some of the more common, as well as very rare, cat vaccinations side effects." pethealthclub.com/uk/pet-advic

  4. BOOM there it is...! "You may have heard that these conditions are rare in the UK.
    They’re rare because of vaccination.

    Vaccination may not have a 100% success rate, but it’ll drastically improve your cat’s chances of avoiding a nasty disease or infection, that’s why it’s recommended for all kittens, or adult cats who’ve fallen behind with their protection." pethealthclub.com/uk/pet-advic

  5. "Chlamydia felis — once known as Chlamydophila felis, is a frequent cause of conjunctivitis in cats. Cats can be vaccinated to help reduce the symptoms of this infection, but the vaccine doesn't stop them from getting or spreading it. If a cat gets Chlamydia, it's important to keep them separated from other cats to prevent spreading.

  6. "Do kittens need vaccines?

    They certainly do. There may be some buzz around anti-vaccination in the media at the moment, but any vet or veterinary professional will insist that vaccinations are an absolute necessity [to keep] your kitten in good health." pethealthclub.com/uk/pet-advic

    Ask your doctor what would happen if they skipped vaccinating you, for the rest of your life. Ask them: I dare you.

  8. I recall what I meant to write after 'OH YEAH' now. Vets4Pets says,
    [...] "Chlamydophila infection can persist for several weeks and be unpleasant, but infection can be treated with antibiotics. Vaccination is usually only given to high-risk cats in group situations, and while providing protection against severe clinical disease, does not fully eliminate the risk of infection."

  9. I recall what I meant to write after 'OH YEAH' now. Vets4Pets says,
    [...] "Feline Herpesvirus (FHV) and Feline Calici virus (FCV): Both feline herpesvirus and feline calici virus are contagious and are usually transmitted by direct or close contact between cats, such as in sneeze droplets or discharge from the eyes; they may also survive for periods in the environment and so could be transmitted via shared food bowls and litter trays, bedding or grooming aids.

    Cat flu signs include sneezing, nasal and eye discharge, conjunctivitis, and mouth ulcers. Clinical signs vary from mild to extremely severe, and occasionally other complications may develop such as pneumonia. Feline herpesvirus is much like cold sores in people; even after the initial signs subside, most cats will remain permanently infected and some will develop flare ups later on especially when their immune system is low.

    Treatment for cat flu is based around supportive care – antibiotics do not work against viruses. [...] Cats may however receive antibiotics as part of their supportive care during an attack of cat flu, if appropriate, [to] prevent or treat secondary bacteria. Affected cats may require other supportive treatment as well [...] and nutritional support, depending on the severity of the infection.
    Both of these viruses are extremely common [and] can be severe which is why vaccination is important for all cats. Although vaccination does not always prevent infection with these viruses, it will help greatly in reducing the severity of disease."

  10. I recall what I meant to write after 'OH YEAH' now. Vets4Pets says,
    [...] "Feline Parvovirus, Panleukopenia virus: This is a highly contagious disease, which can be spread through bodily fluids, faeces and fleas as well as contaminated items such as food bowls, bedding, floors and contact by hands.

    Unfortunately this virus is able to survive for up to several years in the environment, and is resistant to many disinfectants. It is therefore the biggest disease threat to any rescue facility, and infection carries a very high mortality rate, particularly in unvaccinated kittens.

    Unfortunately, there is no specific treatment, and despite supportive treatments cats will often suffer from severe dehydration and massive secondary infections which result in a poor outcome. Highly effective vaccines are available, however, and all cats and kittens should be vaccinated as this virus is much better prevented than treated."

    "Sadly there is no specific treatment for this virus. Secondary infections are common due to the destructive nature of the disease on the immune system so treatment will be focused on relieving the cat from pain and discomfort, but their survival rate is much shorter compared to uninfected cats. Any cat that tests positive for FeLV should be isolated from other cats and kept indoors to prevent transmission.

    As this disease is only passed via bodily fluids, indoor cats may not require a vaccination against feline leukaemia. Your vet will discuss the risk to your cat with you, but you may choose to give your cat full cover anyway, to protect them if they do accidentally get outside, or if they are exposed to other cats in environments such as a cattery."

    How the hell would you communicate "something hurts", "I am lonely", "please play with me", etc?

    Long Covid sucks. I do not wish it on anyone. It strips your ability to hold information in your damn head. I would truly struggle to finish my physics degree if I had to do it again, if it weren't even still possible in this state.

    Death and disablement are not the only risks from disease. You also face loss of livelihood (for humans), autonomy, quality of life, chronic pain, and far more.

    Compare your pet's risks from each disease (locally, given habits) with the vaccine(s) you're considering.
    Yes, price matters, unfortunately (for now?).

    Worked example: my partner and I live in the UK, so rabies isn't a huge issue. Regardless of money, I still would follow the vet's advice on getting our cats rabies shots or not.

    Indoor only, non-travelling, non-breeding kittens probably don't need rabies shots. And that's ME saying that! I will take any damn jabs you offer. I do NOT want to be sick ffs.
    But yeah! Now with more information, I can modify my expectations on caring for fellow living creatures. Since that's how a gd adult takes responsibility.

  18. No medical intervention is completely risk-free. Every single decision must involve weighing priorities and ideal outcomes.

    The best way to limit harm is to acknowledge risks *and adapt your behaviours to reduce their impacts*. veterinarypartner.vin.com/defa plantcityanimalhospital.com/bl vets4pets.com/pet-health-advic

    You need to compare their risks from the disease (in your area, with their chances of contact) with their current vaccine schedules.
    E.g. we live in the UK, so rabies isn't a huge issue (unless they go near bats that fly across the channel from France).

  19. No medical intervention is completely risk-free. Every single decision must involve weighing priorities and ideal outcomes.

    A cat gets 45 vaccines in their life. We can mitigate that small risk even further with nasal vaccinations (nose sprays) and limb injections into the leg. Nasal spray vaccines mean more dispersed material.
    Reactions to a leg injection (again, 1 in 1000 or 10000 and they only get 45) preserve more options for early amputation etc, and their quality of life. (This affects your quality of life, too.)

  20. Huh. No, vaccines are not something to avoid (unless you had a prior reaction or they will be ineffective or dangerous for you personally).
    No medical intervention has zero risk, ever, even testing placebo in research. Every single decision must weigh priorities and ideal outcomes.

    That all said, I did not know there was any (tiny) risk of sarcomas after vaccines.
    It's around 1 in 1000 or 10000 events, from the veterinarypartner.vin.com link.

    A cat gets 45 vaccines in their life. Even that small risk can be mitigated further with nasal (nose) vaccinations and limb (leg) injection sites. Nasal spray vaccines mean more dispersed material.
    And any leg injection reactions (again, 1 in 1000 or 10000, and they only get 45) preserve more options for early amputation etc, and their quality of life.

    No one wants animal pain (unless they need more therapy).

  21. Good Morning #Canada
    There is a little known reporting tool on the ##StatsCan website called Canada’s Quality of Life Hub. First proposed in 2021, and launched in 2023, it is a framework that gathers data and evidence to inform priority setting and guide decision-making in various policy areas, including the budgetary process. The Framework comprises five domains –prosperity, health, environment, society, and good governance – and two cross-cutting lenses: fairness and inclusion, and sustainability and resilience. Not enough Canadians have heard of it, and I suspect very few government policies are implemented before analyzing the impact on quality of life measurement by this tool. On a positive note, #StatsCan is looking for feedback on how to improve the hub.
