As a kid, I was terrified of polio. This was the era of hospital iron lung wards, in which hulking machines noisily kept scores of children breathing. Believe me, my friends and I were very aware of those! My parents signed me up to be in the first wave to receive the Salk vaccine series. Within years, polio was on a steep decline and the terror passed. Which is why it is so stunning to me that about 10% of parents refuse to vaccinate their children against potentially deadly diseases.

We were all terrified of Polio, as were our parents. As a result, some mistakes were made.

Now, do a web search for SV-40

Start here.

A search for embryonic stem cells and vaccines in educational as well. For instance.

Sometimes the questions and answers are not so cut and dried as people might otherwise assume.

Oh, and just so you know, I’m not going to give you the word, “metaphor,” either. I don’t think the word means what you think it means. So yeah, you’re shaping-up to be a first class idiot.

Yep, you definitely need to get laid. On the other hand this might be exactly why you haven't been laid enough - you're a foul-mouthed @sshole and no woman will have anything to do with you.

metaphor, analogy, go twiddle yourself over the difference, little boy.

Which state requires rabies yearly? It is typically every 3 years the second time.

I looked it up. It is about the vaccine, not your state. Some vets in your area probably offer a 3 year vaccine, but you might have to call around.
Then just skip the other for three years. The west coast does. You can use Google....they have found that we are way over-vaccinating our pets.
Big smooch to your pup.
