This is the fourth or fifth time that same CDC paper from 2005 has been linked on FR, and it’s been misunderstood every single time by panicky people to mean the opposite of what it actually says. It says that no dog has ever been documented to have infected a human being with Ebola. Those posting it claim it proves that dogs spread Ebola. Wrong.
I’ve been known to titer my dogs in lieu of mandated vaccinations before, to prove sufficient antibodies. We over-vaccinate them, I strongly suspect this is behind the wild increase in canine cancers.
Spot on, on every point.
How sad that normally rational people, here, are so easily manipulated by the self-same media that they claim to distrust, out of hand, in almost everything else.
If this was being pimped on DU, FReepers would be posting mocking Monty Python pics.
