Tetanus shots have been effective. Lockjaw is very unpleasant. A scratch from a rusty nail? Go get a tetanus shot.
Tetanus shots have been effective.
lol, how do you know? There are 30 cases of tetanus in the US yearly. You're more likely to win the lottery than to get tetanus.
Yep, there has been an 89% reduction in tetanus infections since the advent of the vaccine, since 1990.
Given how rare tetanus is, I'm willing to bet you're more likely to die from the vaccine than from the disease.
Why do you trust this data ? Who told you that it can't be manipulated to suit a need ?
Tetanus is easily treated with medicine. If you ended up with tetanus and got the vaccine the same day you would die before the vaccine started working. If it worked at all. Tetanus can not live in oxygen only in animal manure. Mainly horse. So if you do get a puncture wound from a suspect place let the wound bleed and opt for the meds instead.
Tetanus isn't due to rust, it is due to deep puncture woulds, which is why it is often associated with nails
Every puncture wound I ever experienced was always followed immediately by a tetanus shot, doctors orders. I never associated rust with tetanus. Just dirty wounds. Rusty nails are dirty.
My understanding is tetnus is a bacteria that forms on soil laden rust, and does not survive on skin surface, hence a rusty nail is the perfect transmission source.
I could be wrong, but I think rust doesn't matter.
It's just that when a lot of people get a random deep puncture wound, it happens to be an old nail, which is usually rusty
There is some new evidence that after the initial shots the boosters aren't needed anyways.
So you don't need to get repeated shots and wonder if they are "mistakenly" giving you mRNA instead.
When I was a kid I stepped on numerous rusty nails and cut myself with old dirty cans, rusty knives and God alone knows what else. I never did anything for any of this except let the cut bleed until it formed a scab. Guess what? No tetanus. The fear is a lot bigger than the risk.
