    Tetanus is fucking terrifying. I’m happy to have chemicals to protect me from that.

      My last tetanus shot hurt for 3 weeks straight. But I ended up not breaking my spine with muscle convulsions, so I think it’s a pretty good trade off.

      It’s not chemicals that protect from tetanus; it’s the dead tetanus bacterium the vaccine contains that train the immune system to recognize the threat.
