a non-contagious disease, about 2/3rds of americans are vaccinated, which they need like once every 10 years, and it still kills 2 million per year
yeah, it's the entire medical community that's innumerate and not the dipshit libertarian academic
Not 2 million. 2.
But mostly it only kills 2 a year because when people get a cut or injury that might cause tetanus, they are given a booster which helps prevent them from getting it. So this guy is still a dumbass. It's a completely survivable illness because it's so easy to prevent, not because it's not dangerous.
It kills 2 Americans per year. About 50,000 people worldwide die every year from tetanus, all of whom did not receive a booster.
This dumbfuck really wants to be #3.
Oh yes sorry. The OP was talking about how many Americans it killed so I left that out. Can definitely see how that's not clear. I think if anything the fact that its so deadly abroad is even further proof that the booster absolutely works.
yeah, even if it's 2...
i got an infection after stepping on something years ago and the doc asked if i'd like a tetanus booster since i hadn't gotten one in over a decade, and i was like, shouldn't you be encouraging me to get one? yes, give me the booster shot!
So I asked for it the last time I had a doctor’s appointment since I had actually recently cut myself (nothing major) doing repairs on my ancient house. He had to document my injury for the “health system” to even allow it. I then got a letter from my insurance a month later to see where I hurt myself, was it someone else’s property, was I suing someone over it etc etc etc. All over a tetanus shot. I think that’s why they don’t try to be loose with them. Best healthcare system in the world.
oops, not sure how i misread that
I also misread it and had to look it up because I was surprised tetanus killed so many people every year.
mandela effect or did @Posadas@hexbear.net edit the screenshot after tricking us into reading the original that said 2 million?
