I'm sorry to hear about your pets, that must have been heartbreaking. Would you mind explaining what happened?
My dog is due her annual vaccination soon, but this pandemic is making me consider whether it's actually necessary or whether it's just another money grab. I also have cats who get their annual vaccines, but they're not due yet. They'd appreciate not having to go to the vet each year.
Would anyone else be able to weigh in on this too please?
They give cats so many vaccines they routinely
get cancer from it. Mainstream veterinary knowledge, not a fringe conspiracy theory. As a result some vets now inject the cats in the tail, so it's easier for the cat when the eventual need to amputate the cancerous tissue arises.
Personally I would not give an indoor cat ANY vaccines after whatever kitten shots you selectively see fit to give. It doesn't even go to the bathroom outside...where is it going to get sick? I mean I guess you could say "I could track something in on my shoes!" but that's getting to coof paranoiac level silliness. He's a cat. He wants to be left alone. He will almost certainly be just fine if you leave him alone. So leave him alone.
With dogs its best to wait on that parvo shot until they are 16 weeks or older as the immunity then is usually permanent, whereas if you give it when they are younger it wears off pretty quick. Most people who are concerned about parvo sequester their puppies until around that age anyhow.
I am completely blackpilled on the Bourla-industrial vet complex. I advocate giving a rabies shot to your dog so he doesn't get destroyed if he is attacked by a bat. And that's about it. Everything else is the same fear hype as we get for humans, then an expensive treadmill of pharmaceutical interventions that
literally cause cancer.
Soybucks is the last company I would have picked going against the grain of the progressive doomer narrative.
Maybe they are facing reality and wanting to get the jump on unemployed unvaxxed, because of worker shortage.
I bet this is the case. Several of the locations around me have not only drastically cut hours, but have been having incidents of having to suddenly close in the middle of normal business hours due to staffing issues.
The HR departments of the world want to make it as inconvenient as possible to get a vaccine exemption. Luckily it seems I'm not alone in pushback. Is there any moral support or advice to dealing with these organizations? I thought of another strategy of waiting until as late as possible then claiming I have COVID symptoms for a few weeks so I'm inelligible for booster. The symptoms are self reported so maybe I can stall for the whole remaining semester. Maybe Kiwis here will know something I don't.
Don't specify a denomination, if Christian. State that you are justified by your faith in Jesus Christ and not by any earthly authority. Cite Scripture.
In general my sense with some experience here is that it helps to include a dose of humility, like if you avoid animal products or involvement with fetal testing or chemicals or whatever, a clause like "this is very important to me so I try as hard as I can to avoid these things. Like any human I make make errors sometimes, but when I do I repent and try even harder to live up to my ethical standards next time." This cuts them off at the knees for the bullshit they keep pulling about "wuhhhl do yuh take TYLENOL its bad too amirite."
