Here's an article from late August with some detail [1], including the affected states: New York, Massachusetts, Alaska, Arizona, California, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, North Carolina, Oregon and Vermont. I can't find anything about it on the CDC website though.

Is autism a thing for dogs? I have literally never thought about this but I guess it could be a thing.

In my experience dog owners just do not care. Vaccine costs time and money.
The same with training. Most dog owners are just lazy, and do not care. Adding some sophisticated explanations on top of that is pointless.

We should rebrand vaccines as "freedom shots" and get AOC to play along and call them problematic.

Is autism a thing for dogs? I have literally never thought about this but I guess it could be a thing.
I have no idea about the answer to this idea, but I did for a time know a dog that belonged to a friend, whose behavior profile across the board matched almost perfectly with how I'd imagine autism expressing itself in a dog. (the dog, not my friend)
That specific dog made me just assume it was a possible thing, though I never verified with any veterinary website. It's worth a deeper look though.

Well, in my experience, "in my experience" anecdotes are lazy.
Though, I'm sure this is generally more true for some breeds more so than others.

It's absolutely scary that the CDC hasn't published anything about it. They were the ultimate source of epidemiological information, weren't they? We knew this was coming. But this is the clearest sign yet that we have entered the medical dark ages.
Yes, the medical dark ages. Not the metaphorical kind either, but the kind where people die foaming at the mouth because their neighbor decided a rabies shot might cause dog autism. The CDC has apparently chosen the new strategy of “if we ignore it, maybe it will go away,” which worked wonders in the 14th century. Soon, every PTA meeting will double as a plague ward while Etsy sellers crank out crystal collars to protect your doodle from brain inflammation. The irony is perfect: the world’s richest country, armed with billion-dollar labs, yet losing a fight our grandparents solved with a needle and some common sense. When your local ER is triaging between toddlers bitten by strays and adults bitten by TikTok misinformation, maybe then people will realize the dark ages don’t arrive with torches and pitchforks. They arrive with Facebook posts and silence from the institutions that should have known better.
I'm surprised they don't mention bats, every summer night they fly within a foot of my head and some poor guy died on Vancouver Island, https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/rabies-death...
This must be an LLM/bot account as bats were listed multiple times throughout the article...
> six people have died from rabies nationwide since September 2024, a US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention spokesperson confirmed to CNN. In addition, the CDC is tracking 14 potential outbreaks in 20 states,
So is that high or low? It would be useful to know what the median and max cases per year has been over the last few decades.
14 potential doesn't sound that bad if we're investigating them out of an abundance of caution.

Edit: to semi-answer my own question, according to https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/reported-rabies-deaths?ta... there were 7 deaths in 2011. So we are in a decade high, but with the numbers being so low in general seems like it might just be statistical noise.
