Anti-Vax arguments from a cat's perspective
My wife and I scheduled an appointment for our cats, Trixie and Maggie, to be vaccinated.
Trixie argued that she was young and healthy and didn't need a vaccine. Maggie countered that there are over 135 million cats and dogs in America and only 300 cases of rabies in domestic pets every year. She said that the chance of her getting rabies was one in 450,000. They both said that the rabies vaccine was not approved by the FDA and they didn't want an experimental medicine in their bodies (though both routinely lick their own buttholes). Maggie said she heard there was a microchip in the vaccine (I didn't have the heart to tell her, they all got 'chipped' a long time ago).
These were valid and accurate arguments. The chance of them getting rabies is extremely slim (primarily because the vaccine has nearly wiped the disease out in dogs and cats). But, we are responsible pet owners and would be devastated if one of our animals got a preventable and deadly disease that could be passed to others.
We considered their arguments and then crammed their asses into carriers and took them to get their shots. They were mad but they will get over it primarily by taking it out on our couch.
By the way, the Humane Society offers very low-cost vaccines, spaying, and neutering if your pets need services.
And every Walmart, Walgreens, and CVS offers free covid-19 vaccines if the human in your life hasn't had one yet.
