Canine Antivaxxers

[Catherine]

I guess it had to happen. The paranoia about vaccines and autism has now spilled over into the world of pet dogs. People are afraid their dog will develop autism if they get it vaccinated. What isn't clear is the idea that dogs could develop autism. There is no evidence that they do. There is no evidence that vaccines cause autism in humans or any other species.

I think it is really stretching things to try and find autism in dogs and then to blame it on vaccines. The is no vaccine autism link. There is no evidence that dogs develop  autism. If people are seeing a link it is because they want to see a link. While this is going on dogs are left unprotected from diseases that were almost eradicated.

This madness is going on with human children. Why would we try and project it on our dogs.
