I had a great vet when I lived in Reno. I don't remember how it happened but we started discussing vaccines (2013-ish). I told her that I didn't want any for my old lady cat because she was an indoor cat (that was always my 'excuse' with vets to get them to quit harassing me about it). She said she never recommends vaccines for any reason.
She said she saw so many animals get sick, so many die shortly after vaccination. She said she was trained to give vaccines in a leg in case something went wrong so that they could amputate.
Since she was safe to talk to, I talked to her about my vaccine injuries and we both just went off on it all.
It's all a scam. None of it works like they say. I have changed vets because they were pressuring vaccines - I actually had one say he wouldn't fix my kitten because I refused to vaccinate him for the cat version of kennel cough. I changed vets immediately and my new vet has never even brought them up.
I've lived in states where you were required to have rabies tags for pets - I paid the vet to give them to me and shoot the stuff in the sink. I've had them argue with me on it, but eventually they'd do it. I am so glad I live in a state that stays out of that, now.
I wanted to come here and say the same. Pet vaccines are crap. I know many develop tumors or cancers at injection sites. And yet for something that's supposed to work, it has to be given ever year.
That sounds like a good vet.
I've just stopped and won't be going to the vet unless I have to. Then I'll either lie or tell them the truth. They've had a few years of it... But I stopped before they got older.
That was before I knew better.
I'm a little late on replying, only because I opened this and didn't get to it until now.
