The article I saw said he refused the vaccine even after the bat was confirmed to have rabies. You’re getting into crazy town at this point even if you aren’t 100% sure you got bit.

One of the more bizarre, but not uncommon, signs and symptoms of rabies that has been reported is male patients exhibiting hypersexual behavior. The virus sometimes acts on the limbic system of the brain causing men to show this behavior: increased sexual desire, involuntary erections, and in some reports continuous orgasms occurring at a rate of one per hour!

Tony Bourdain on how bad Old Yeller fucked him up as a kid:
Then there’s Old Yeller. Even worse. A more cynical and unconscionably bleak message one could hardly imagine.
The story of a boy and his dog. A Disney story of a boy and his dog—which, as all children’s accumulated experience teaches them, means that no matter what kind of peril the heroes go through, things will always turn out okay in the end. This, by the time we sat down in that darkened theater, excited, sticky with Twizzlers, we had come to accept as an article of faith. A contract between kids everywhere, our parents, and the fine people at Walt Disney Studios. This was as powerful a bond as we knew, an assurance that held an otherwise uncertain universe together. Sure, Khrushchev was maybe going to drop the Big One on us, but goddammit, that dog was gonna make it out okay!
So, when Old Yeller gets sick with this rabies thing, little Tony is, naturally, not concerned. Pinocchio, after all, got out of that whale situation no problem. Sure, things looked bad for him, too, for a while, but he figured it out in the end. Bumpy ride with Bambi, what with Mom dying, but that ended okay. Like Mom and Dad never forgetting to pick you up at school, the Happy Ending was a dead cert.
It will be okay. It will turn out fine.
No one will hurt a fucking dog.
That’s what I’m saying to myself, sitting there between Mom and Dad, staring up at that screen, breath held, waiting for the miracle.
Then they go and blow Old Yeller’s fucking brains out.
I sit there stunned. “What do you mean there’s no cure for rabies? I don’t give a fuck they hadda put Yeller ‘out of his misery’! What about my misery, cocksucker! They were supposed to fix things! He was supposed to get better!! Don’t talk to me about reality! I don’t care if it’s a magical fucking rainbow shining out of a fairy princess’s ass makes him better. He’s supposed to get better!!!”
From that moment on, I looked at my parents and the whole world with suspicion. What else were they lying about?
Life was clearly a cruel joke. A place with no guarantees, built on a foundation of false assumptions if not outright untruths. You think everything’s going okay…
Then they shoot your fucking dog.
So, maybe that’s why until I got my first dishwashing job, I had no respect for myself and no respect for anybody else.
I should probably sue.

Don’t forget that if the vaccine started killing or maiming people, they would be the ones laughing at us.

They skip the laughing and go right to harassing and threats:
“These fucking dark web people are really, really getting bad,” Fauci said in a new National Geographic documentary, speaking to AIDS activist Peter Staley, who checked in on him during the summer of 2020.
Wow how uncouth. Those dark web incels should watch their tone

She also has a direct donor. This isn’t something that seems right to me.

Meh, she either believes in science and the recommendations of doctors…or she doesn’t. Can’t always pick and choose when you want to listen to the doctors.

I’m sorry but it’s a foundational tenet of medical ethics that you can do exactly that. You can not, as a physician, ethically withhold all treatment because a patient doesn’t follow every part of your recommendations.

“For transplant patients who contract COVID-19, the mortality rate ranges from about 20% to more than 30%. This shows the extreme risk that COVID-19 poses to transplant recipients after their surgeries,” the health system told CBS4. The health system also noted that patients have been required to receive other vaccines, such as for hepatitis B, to help ensure a transplant won’t be rejected.
Seems reasonable to me.
