In the old days, yes, people were vaccinated for tetanus right after stepping on a rusty nail, for example. Growing up, we all heard about that danger.
Now, without even stepping on a rusty nail, children are vaccinated for tetanus five times from infancy.
This boy reportedly had one tetanus shot before he was scraped up. Then, he was scraped up, and he contracted tetanus and was given a second shot in the hospital (as per the comments section). The commenters are criticizing the fact that he didn’t receive five shots before ever getting scraped up.
In other words, these days, your parents and mine would’ve been criticized for not getting us five tetanus shots long before we ever stepped on a rusty nail. That’s where it is today.
” and was given a second shot in the hospital”
He wasn’t hospitalized until after the tetanus was running wild. The shot isn’t a cure at that point.
You seem to be willfully misunderstanding the sequence of events. The kid did not get a tetanus shot immediately after his injury and was actually “stitched up” by a parent. Your parents and mine would have been criticized for not getting us a tetanus shot immediately after the injury especially when the child had not been getting his recommended boosters. Waiting until tetanus sets in before getting the shot is obviously ineffective. If a doctor or nurse made this kind of decision they would lose their license and be sued into oblivion. The parents were negligent, but parents are allowed to make stupid decisions in our society.
