๐จ ABHAYRAB VACCINE ALERT: WHEN A FAKE VACCINE ENTERS THE PICTURE, WHY ARE DOGS BLAMED?
A counterfeit Abhayrab rabies vaccine sample has been flagged with batch number KE25012.
The comparison shown by Dr Sivarangani Santos highlights visible differences between the suspected counterfeit and the genuine retained sampleโincluding font differences and a hologram on the blue cap, while the genuine sample has a green cap without a hologram.
This is not a reason to unleash fear on dogs.
It is a reason to demand:
๐ Genuine, effective vaccines
๐จ Action against counterfeit medicines
๐ฌ Stronger drug surveillance
๐ Mass vaccination of dogs
๐ข Scienceโnot hysteria
Rabies is the enemy. Dogs are not the scapegoat.
๐ฏ TARGET THE VIRUS. NOT THE HOST.

๐จ FAKE RABIES VACCINE IS THE REAL THREAT
WHY ARE DOGS BEING BLAMED FOR SYSTEMIC FAILURE?๐๐
The Abhayrab case exposes a deeper danger: a vaccine labelled KE25012 was seized from an unlicensed Delhi premises, failed potency testing and was reported misbranded; the manufacturer says those seized vials were not manufactured by it. The genuine batch was independently tested and released through authorised channels.

This is why counterfeit vaccines must be exposed-and supply chains, testing, cold-chain and enforcement must be strengthened.

But do not turn regulatory failure into hatred against dogs.
If you are bitten/scratched or saliva contacts broken skin/mucosa: wash the wound thoroughly for 15 minutes and seek medical care immediately
WHO recommends prompt PEP for relevant exposures; Category III exposures require vaccine + rabies immunoglobulin.
At the same time, vaccinate dogs. WHO says โฅ70% dog vaccination is the most effective way to prevent human rabies, and dog hatred does not control rabies, vaccination does
Just like in corona, government had vaccinated the virus hosts, not eliminated the host itself which is humans.
Treat the virus with vaccination and stop spreading hatred against the animals
Animals are also victims of that virus just like other human virus AIDS and others.
๐๐จAlso not all the dog's contain the rabies
Myth spread by illiterate news peddlers: All street dogs carry rabies.
๐Fact: Only dogs exposed to the virus can become infected. Many street dogs are healthy and vaccinated.
ROOT CAUSE: weak vaccination coverage + poor ABC implementation + inadequate surveillance/diagnostics + unsafe vaccine supply chains + misinformation.
CAUSE โ PANIC โ MORE VACCINE REQUIREMENTS > LEADS TO FEAR OF RABIES > ULTIMATELY CREATES UNNECESSARY PANIC WHICH RESULTS INTO CRUELTY WITH DOGS
Global health bodies warn:
๐ โFear of rabies drives mass dog culling and extreme cruelty, with an estimated 100 MILLION dogs killed unnecessarily every year.โ

๐ Fear does NOT reduce rabies.
๐ Fear spreads cruelty, bad policy, and disease risk.
โ ๏ธ THE DEADLY CYCLE CREATED BY FEAR
๐ฑ Media exaggerates โdog bitesโ
๐ ARV doses are falsely reported as bite numbers
๐๏ธ Courts & politicians panic
๐ Dogs are culled or confined
๐ Vaccine demand explodes
โ Fake vaccines enter market
๐ง Humans remain unprotected
๐ Rabies risk INCREASES
If the bite or scratch was due to a cat or dog, and the cat/dog stayed alive for more than 10 days after the scratch/bite, it is considered that the dog/cat wasn't rabid.
So, you can skip taking the extra dose, but remember that the counterfeit one/vaccine given in the buttocks or bums will not be counted as a dose for future purposes.
This 10 day rule is not valid for scratches/bites/exposure of wounds to the saliva of the mammal, in case of mammals other than dogs and cats
๐ This is how fear collapses health systems.
SOLUTION:
๐ Reliable human PEP
๐ Mass dog vaccination
โ๏ธ Scientific ABC/CNVR
๐ฌ Proper diagnosis & surveillance
๐ Zero tolerance for counterfeit vaccines
๐ข Evidence-based public education
๐๏ธ FINAL TRUTH
Rabies cannot be eliminated by panic.
It can only be eliminated by science.
Manage the virus - not the fear.
Protect people. Protect dogs.
Fix the system-not the scapegoat.

This is the plight of the hostels of one of the biggest universities in India ๐ฎ๐ณ praying for the safety of the Delhi University students ๐
#DelhiUniversity
A building near Satya Niketan has collapsed, and many Delhi University students are feared to be trapped under the rubble. This weak building was being used as a PG, with construction being carried out on weak foundations to create more space for rent.
The BJPโs triple-engine government in Delhi kept sleeping, and now many students have been hospitalised, while some are feared to be dead. @narendramodi, instead of calling students โDimagi Naxalsโ, focus on how students are living.
