Have there been an unusual amount of rabies incidents lately?
Photoshopped, but excellent.
Typical MSM reporting. Things have changed remarkably in the last 30 years but the MSM has failed to keep up with the progress.
As soon as I read something as misleading as this I have to wonder what else in the story is wrong or out-of-date. It's like they learn a cliche phrase, like Piper Cub, and then never move on!
Lots of medications are injected into the “stomach.” Actually they're not injected into the stomach at all, but rather the fatty tissue under the skin on the abdomen. If you've had hip replacement surgery chances are you've had to give yourself, or have someone give you, the medication that's used to prevent blood clots. They are given usually in the abdomen and are not particularly painful. In fact, frequently you don't even feel the actual injection at all, just the reaction later of the meds with the tissue.
Much of the discomfort of early rabies shots had nothing to do with where they were given but rather from the body's adverse reaction to the vaccine which was based on duck embryo tissue.
I'm not sure how many injections are in the series now, it was less than 14 last time I had to give them to anyone (30 plus years ago) and I'm thinking it's something like five or six these days. And they've made great strides in producing a vaccine that isn't as destructive of tissue at the injection site.
