People Share 31 Things That Seem Dangerous But Actually Aren’t That Bad

The same anti vax arguments were around when cowpox vaccine for smallpox was introduced to the public (1797). The issues and misinformation were mostly thanks to the press. Ignorance means history repetition.

If diseases are reappearing, then how can you say they were eradicated?

maybe they should put it on sugar cubes again. That's how I got my polio vaccine. I'll get any vaccine they offer "because shingles doesn't care". I'm not afraid of any diseases I just can't be bothered with the sickness.

Unfortunately survival of the fittest, let's hope they don't take away from the people who aren't conspiracy nuts.

I doubt that you know anything about eradication since you can’t even figure out how to spell “eradicated”.

Same in Bulgaria.

Same here (Czech republic). Because some twats are convinced that vaccines are bad. Of course, they blame it on Ukrainian refugees.

Yawn. This is a real but very, very rare side effect that was identified back in 2021. It didn't stop the vaccine being rolled out because it was a considerably lower risk than that of getting covid. But now (partly thanks to fear-mongering about this tiny risk, partly because no one cares about COVID any more, partly because new variants mean this old vaccine had had declining value for a while) demand is low. This is click bait c**p from the Daily Mail.

OWOOOOOOOO

My favourite wolf is Devil the mountain wolf. (If you know who I'm talking about, You. Are. A. Legend.)

basically true, however .... have you ever seen a fox? they run like hell the moment they see you coming. I'd set the risk to 0.00000000000000000001 %

Not in the UK, however urban foxes have become bolder in recent years and are known to enter people's houses. There's at least one incidence of a small child being bitten in their bed, but the main risk from the bite would have been infection with bacteria.

Depends, here in Germany it got basically eradicated through vaccinated baits - we usually see them because it's easier to find food in the gardens and trash bins in the village I live in

Yea if you get bit by a fox just go to the ER and ask for a rabies shot and you'll probably be fine. Same with bats.

They can spread distemper to your pets, too, but are otherwise harmless

And even then, rabies is actually very rare.

Exactly!

Happens, foxes have a distinctive lack in manners

I love that you wrote this. I am pretty sure foxes will be the next domesticated animals in the same way cats domesticated themselves.

The pain is half the fun. Random bruises and scrapes are badges of honor.

The number of kids who didn't come back from these adventures is what gave rise to those no longer being the standard. It didn't come out of nowhere.

Strangely enough the parents who grew up like this, are the ones being overprotective

And the foxes and the quicksand and the....!!!!

Change the wifi password/remove sim cards and they don't get it until they've spent a certain amount of time outside.

They also often prefer to eat nothing but candy instead of vegetables, but do you let them do that?

Where? It would be awful because if I somehow am allowed to go outside, unsupervised, (I'm a teen in high school) I would have to tell them where I am at every 5 minutes or have to go back to check in with them. So yeah maybe phones don't seem that bad to us, granted addiction is too big for the phone. But it would be a punishment to play outside.

To be fair, technology is awesome. Though I do agree they probably need some form of sunlight and excercise.
