Anti-Vaxxers Have Hit A New Level of Stupidity

This is about Pets, is there a VAERS for pets?

when dogs and cats report adverse reactions then we'll take you seriously.

Do you have the telltale 3/8" round scar on your upper arm?

If not, then you weren't.

Not necessarily. I was vaccinated, but I think the scar has disappeared as time goes by. At least I cant seem to find it anymore.

Bad things can happen though. My in-laws had a cat that developed a severe ulceration at the site of the injection and required surgery to get it to heal. Most likely either an infection or unusual allergic reaction.

probably correct. However, such cases are extremely rare and creating a registry for that would be a huge waste of time.

So how do you know its "extremely rare" if you don't collect any telemetry on it?

For cats, any injection site is vulnerable to complications, not just vaccine injections. For older indoor-only cats, vets will sometimes recommend against booster vaccines as the risk of the injection outweighs the benefit of the booster.

my cat was an indoor/outdoor cat so she got her vaccines on schedule.

That depends on where you received it (modern, advanced country vs 2nd world, lagging medical system) and when it was administered (perhaps the earliest days of the vaccine, even in the 1st World, would have left the permanent scar).

Vaccines don't cause autism. That has been well and truly concluded alongside the initial article in the Lancet which started this craze being admittedly falsified by the author.

Apart from that, there is actually some reasonableness to whether a minority of vaccines are worth administering, but in general you would be weighing extremely small risk vs. extremely small benefit.
