Comments on How To Avoid All Vaccines, even rabies vaccination.

So then if this is the case that they can gain natural immunity to the diseases that they are vaccinated against. Then can I view a titre results for an unvaccinated animal with natural immunity.

How does one go about introducing an unvaccinated (or partially vaccinated) puppy to the world? I imagine gradually, but I don't really know what that looks like and am desperate to learn the proper way. I've heard vague things like "avoid heavily dog trafficked areas when they're very young", but I really dont know how to get started. For instance, when can they start short neighborhood walks? When can they go to a public park? Also, assuming a puppy has had a first round of combo vaccines at 8wks, are they now more at risk of becoming infected due to the vaccines suppressing the immune system? I know this is an old article but I'm hoping you see my comment and have some helpful pointers to share! ❤

Vaccines killed my dogs. All of our dogs that got the shot died that night after I went to bed .. .except one boy who was still having a seizure. We rushed him to emergency medical center where he was able to be revived. He appeared to have brain damage after.

And it wasn't an easy fight to prove the vaccines caused this. Vaccine manufacturer required cutting up their dead bodies and looking for ANYTHING else which might have been a factor. Keep in mind these tests cost big money and we would be on the hook if anything tested positive. The batch of vaccines was also tested and was found to be normal - without contaminants.

In the end we had medical expenses paid and $250 per dog. We could have lost thousands of dollars but the risk was necessary.

Don't need to hear from big pharma trolls and automated bots. I've lived the truth and had to put dead dogs in bag because of vaccines

Has anyone found a holistic vet who will work with us pet parents in regards to Rabies shots in California?

My 8 months old puppy has never been given a rabies shot, however after reading your article, I was taking him around other dogs and wooded areas to get natural rabies antibodies built-up. I just got him tittered to see if I was successful and it came back negative, he has zero antibodies. Not sure what to do now? I do not want him to get that vaccine! Dr Falconer do u have any suggestions on exposure for natural immunity?

Hi there. I'm new to the site and recently had a visit from the SPCA. I live here in Los Angeles county. This has been our first dog and she is a rescued Staffordshire Terrier (blue nose) and when we got her from the rescue they never gave me any papers for her. It's a long story but the woman who ran the rescue was irresponsible. I've been under the radar with being licensed but I also wasn't familiar with all of the laws in California regarding pets. They want me to register her and show proof this coming week. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you for all your information. God bless you and absolutely everything that concerns you in Jesus Name.

Do you have any recommendations for avoiding the required rabies vaccine for bringing a cat to Hawaii?

After reading many articles on the flawed vaccine program one would have to wonder why our animals are being put at risk and legislation has not been made to protect our animals from this form of animal cruelty. Owners are being forced to find ways to protect their beloved family member from vaccine damage and have to pay not only out of pocket for the damage but also emotional pain and physical care our sick pets need.

Very dumb question but is it possible to buy a fake vaccine certificate by paying more money than the actual vaccine costs. I guess quite a few of us would be willing to do so. Are there no vets who are kind enough to just break open a vaccine bottle not give the.shot and yet say give you the necessary certificate? Does nobody do such wonderfully kind things?

My husband and I just put a deposit down on a litter of boxer puppies due beginning of February. I lost my last boxers 7 months apart. Abby was 11 and she had lymphoma and Toby was 12 and was very lethargic. We had to help both of them over the rainbow bridge and the vet said Toby had cancer. He had a bump on his shoulder and my step dad was too cheap to get it tested. They vaccinated them for everything yearly and they complained about it, kinda ironic. I want to do what’s right for my future puppy. In AZ it’s every 3 years, but I’ll have to save and get them tittered. I truly believe my dogs could have lived longer if my parents were more invested in their health.

I am the dumbest person in the world! Our dog was 11 years old and went in for his annual check up. They said he was due for his rabies and I let them give it. Our poor pup immediately showed signs of the flu and was sniffling. After blood work, ultrasound, MRI and spinal tap, they found stage 5 nasal and central nervous system lymphoma! Only 3 months later passed away (last week) after we did radiation and chemotherapy. It is horrible that I let them vaccinate. Your information is great--I will avoid and hope we never have to be put in a corner that we can't afford fines or the consequences. I will never do this again. It is terrible that I have to learn at the expense of my poor dog. I really hate ignorance in science or medicine.

Recently I reluctantly took my eight year old dog to my conventional vet for a badly broken toenail that was beyond my ability to treat. I quit vaccinating her years ago and my two young dogs have received only a single rabies shot and will get no more. So my older dogs records clearly show overdue for rabies. However when the tech asked if she was "current" on vaccinations I simply replied with a firm "yes", because in my mind she IS current. In this case that's all it took, nobody else said a word about it and my dog was treated. If necessary I was prepared to say I'd gotten her rabies at a pet store clinic and would have to bring in her papers later etc which of course would never happen. I hate being put in a situation where I must lie to protect my dogs but if that's what it takes so be it. And Dr. Falconer, reading your posts has given me the knowledge as well as the courage to stand up and say NO and for that I thank you!

My sister has a new dog and it has never been vaccinated since it was born and she wants to go on a vacation with it. She liked it how you mentioned here that vaccines are needed to get certain certificates in order for the pet to be allowed to travel. Moreover, it's important to go animal vaccination services for vaccines and have the pet certified.

Our 5lb Chi's are emotional support animals for me and my husband. (we have no kids) One of our girls almost died and required 2 blood transfusions after suffering Vaccine-associated immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA) shortly after being vaccinated when we adopted her 2 years ago. Since then, we have declined all vaccinations both both our girls, yet have flown with them with a Vet's note with no problem.
NOW, starting March 2018, Delta and other airlines are REQUIRING proof of current vaccinations in order to fly.... Does anyone have any suggestions on this?

We adopted a kitten in July of 2016. The kitten had his shots then and recently we got a letter from the county saying his shots are past due and if we don't get him vaccinated they will send someone to our home. I know this is about the licensing money and I am willing to pay that but the rabies vaccination is required to do that. How can I legally get around this and would they really send someone to my house? I don't want them to see my other cats.

I didnt vaccinate my previous dog who lived to be over 17 and was healthy and happy.

Great article. I have a 12 month old German shepherd that I have refused getting her rabies. My last Gereman shepherd battled auto immune as a puppy(was given 2 years to live) after her shots. After feeding raw, regular excersize and no further vaccinations she became a pillar of health. I moved to Hawaii when she was 9 1/2 . Because of their strict laws, I was forced to get another rabies vaccination. At the time of the vaccination my vet called her "the heathiest large dog over 9 yearsold he had seen in a long time"...then went on to tell me I shouldnt raw feed. At that appointment, she recieved her seond rabies vaccination of her lifetime....within 4 weeks she had a terrible skin disease and hair began falling out. I switched to a really strict raw diet and supplements after seeing a new holistic vet. The damage was done. She passed 6 months later on the operating table when her spleen developed cysts and she bled out.
Now I am looking for alternatives to flea and tick medication. Both of which my new puppy has had, minor cases (1 tick and a few fleas) but I want to avoid the chemicals her breeder had her on.

I may be moving to Canada in a few years, I am from Australia, I have 3 pets that I really really don't want to leave behind, as I would be gone for a good 2-3 years. I do not vaccine my dogs anymore and because I am in Australia there is no rabies here so there are no law required vaccines. Getting my dogs into Canada or even the USA is not hard as they are from a rabies free country, but when I return to Australia I am very worried because we have extremely strict rules, they would have to have a rabies vaccine and numerous other ones plus quarantine which I don't want to put them through because they will be pretty old by the time I do this. Do you think I should ditch the idea of going to Canada? my dogs come first.. There is definitely no way I can get around this?

Would you be willing to come up to visit, timing your visit so that you can appear in court with me to explain to the magistrate and the dog warden why my dogs did not need rabies vaccines? The neighbor needs them, they regularly damage my fences and let out my livestock then call the dog warden. So can you offer resources for those who have to face the dog warden (who does target neighborhoods and go door to door in two counties) in court or at the front gate or front door before it gets to court?

What happens when a healthy unvaccinated dog bites a 7 year-old child on the face and draws blood? Because a bite to the head is proximal to the brain and nervous system (rabies can spread to brain within 24 hours) the child in the ER must suffer multiple excruciating shots in and around the wound, in the shoulder and in the thigh, with follow up boosters across a month. Even if the chance the dog is infected is remote, no parent or doctor would take the risk of not administering shots. What if the owner then refuses to quarantine their dog because they "know" the dog is not infected and fears PHS will vaccinate their dog after quarantine--putting the dog “at risk.” That's what happened to my daughter when a friend’s unvaccinated dog bit her on the face this summer. The consequences of not vaccinating your dog can, as it did in this instance, shift the dangers of vaccination to the humans who are bitten, not to mention traumatize a child with multiple shots in and around the wound. Not vaccinating your dog may be great in a vacuum, but as soon as your dog bites someone or get’s bitten, it is a different story.
