I'm sorry, but-

You're a fucking idiot.

You're not getting a vaccine that could save your life, or the lives of those around you, on an unfounded suspicion of it being dangerous? It's a fucking VACCINE. The entirety of its purpose is to PREVENT you contracting the illness ebola.

Not taking it is, as I said, fucking dumb. See it this way: take ten people. Guy 7 can't have the vaccine due to an allergy to (chemical). Okay, he can't for medical reasons. Guy 3, however, just doesn't want it. Thus, he puts 7 at risk simply because he's being a fucktard (bearing in mind 7 can NOT get the vaccine).

Please don't be a total asshole. Just get the damn vaccine. If it's available in Canada, I'm getting it - even though there's almost zero risk of it getting here - and honestly, anyone who doesn't because "modified rabies" is an idiot.

Get the damn vaccine.

Still fully agreeing with Error.
And using weakened versions of diseases in vaccines is common as hell. The first vaccine was essentially dead smallpox (I think?) cells from cows, and because of that smallpox are now practically extinct.
The idea is that the body can defeat the weakened version more easily and then develop antigens for it and become immune to the disease. I suppose it's a bit like why you only get chicken pox once.

Correct; the weakened illness 'teaches' the immune system to fight it, so if/when the actual thing shows up, it's already aware of how to kill it. And it does so.

Lets just ask this question - why the hell would anybody in the world turn YOU into a zombie, what kind of benefit it could possibly give em ? Believe me nobody cares about you, it is much more likely someone will hack into your comp, and that is highly unlikely because they don't care about you either, perhaps a lil caution would be advisable if you were like the president but as long as you are not I see no reason to be afraid of your local doctor.

The title of this topic seems to suggest otherwise.
