Provided vaccines worked most of the time and were completely safe, I don't think there is a high enough incidence of rabies in most western nations to merit vaccinating yourself against it. You just go and get checked if you are bitten by a racoon, bat, dog, ect. Not dangerous if caught early.

As a member of Rotary, I can attest to how effective the polio vaccine is. The last haven of polio is in India, where distrust of vaccinations has prevented the populace from being completely vaccinated. There are people who go house to house trying to sell people on the vaccine.

You are aware that the treatment for rabies is vaccine, right?
Sure, you could go the Milwaukee Protocol route, and play the odds (less than 50% survival rate), or you can take the vaccinations, with survival rates much higher.
To date, only 3 people in the world have survived without treatment of rabies.edit on 2-11-2013 by MichaelPMaccabee because: (no reason given)

India was declared polio-free by the WHO in 2012 or 2013. Polio is endemic in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Nigeria, where there is religious and conspiracy-theory based objection to the vaccine.

The chance of catching rabies is about as good as you winning the lottery.

There are several possible explanations for the observed failure of HDCV and HRIG to protect against rabies in these cases. Although the timing of vaccine administration was similar to the recommended schedule in both cases (2), vaccine was given in the gluteal area. A reduced antibody response has been shown when hepatitis B vaccine is administered in the gluteal area instead of the deltoid (3). Presumably, subcutaneous fat in the gluteal area may interfere with the immunogenicity of HDCV. Moreover, only saline solution was used to flush the Thai patient's wounds. Cleaning bite wounds with saline alone has been shown to be less effective in decreasing the risk of rabies than cleaning with anti-viral solutions, such as soap and water (4). Finally, persons with severe bites to the head and digits, sites of rich innervation, are more likely to develop rabies than persons bitten elsewhere (5). Inoculation of rabies virus near or into the peripheral nerves might bypass the protection conferred by rabies immune globulin and vaccine, both of which are ineffective after the virus invades the nervous system. Evidence did not indicate immune deficiency in these patients or decreased immunogenicity of the vaccine lots. Also, HDCV has been shown to be stable even when exposed to high ambient temperatures for up to 11 weeks (6).
Approximately 18,000 persons receive rabies postexposure prophylaxis in the United States per year (CDC, unpublished data). Severe attacks by rabid wild animals and dogs like that suffered by the Thai patient are rare in developed countries. No treatment failures have been reported when the recommended postexposure prophylaxis regimen of wound cleaning, HRIG, and 5 doses of HDCV have been strictly observed (2). Although the reasons these two patients developed rabies are unknown, proper wound management and proper administration of HRIG and HDCV might have prevented disease. Wounds inflicted by animals suspected or confirmed to be rabid should be immediately and thoroughly cleaned with soap and water. If anatomically possible, up to half of the HRIG dose should be infiltrated around the wound and the rest given IM in the gluteal area or lateral thigh. For postexposure prophylaxis, adults and children should always receive HDCV IM in the deltoid. Infants can be given the vaccine in the anterolateral upper thigh.

You realize there are a dozen diseases that have a 48-72 hour window to treat and the treatment is Immune Globulin and vaccines right?
I know, one of them saved my life (or drastically improved my future prospects.)
Rabies being one of them, see post above.
So millions of people get autism and other severe reactions to vaccines including death yet coincidently you who most likely is a pharma shill, has his life saved, yeaahhhhh surrrreeee and im the queen of england.
High possibility your lying just to prove a point, but lets say for a moment you were really in life threatening position which you clearly werent, whos to say you would have survived anyway without the vaccines? Theres a highly likely chance you would have survived anyways.edit on 11-3-2013 by breadinspector because: (no reason given)

Those countries you listed are some of the poorest in the world, its not lack of vaccine that polio is endemic far from it, its poor sanitiation, dirty food and water, lack of education and unhygeine that contribute to the high numbers of polio, vaccines have nothing to do with preventing disease.

Some do.
However, the same happens in Mexico and many other countries. yet they don't have polio.
Take Uganda, for an example. They drink water from dirty puddles in the street. Yet no polio.

Millions of people have gotten autism or died from the MMR vaccine?
Do you have -any- kind of evidence to support this, because I am seriously very interested in this claim and would love to see the evidence.
