This is just getting downright ludicrous! Whooping cough outbreak in L.A. is now at 90 cases. ALL OF THEM WERE VACCINATED! As in 100% of them. As in omfg, can we stop with the vaccine propaganda claiming that vaccines save babies from pertussis!?
Can you believe what you are reading here!? All of the cases have been vaccinated with 6 doses of DTaP/Tdap, but this isn’t shocking because “experts have known for a long time that IMMUNITY WANES QUICKLY”. Yeah no sheet. But guess what everyone?!
STILL, go get your vaccine and we need to make stricter mandates to save those babies! The babies who are at risk from: ***vaccinated people spreading pertussis.***
The vaccination coverage for pertussis in L.A. by kindergarten is 96%, and 98% for 12 year olds. It says only 80% of those 12 year old receive some immunity from that booster, which means 20% get NO benefit. AND for those 80%, it only lasts...ONE YEAR!
What in the actual?! But we need to remove exemptions for that 1% because they are causing these outbreaks..
Seriously, this is totally beyond rational comprehension. How many times does this article say, even though immunity wanes, vaccination need to be higher. How much higher can they be ffs?!
It’s not about vaccination rates you indoctrinated zealots, the vaccine does NOT work and actually puts people at risk of whooping cough! So stop making people get 6 doses of this worthless vaccine. Stop perpetuating this idea that “cocooning” works, when science proves it does not. This is lunacy!!!Are people not able to think...at all?
ETA: they switched from whole cell DTP to acellular DTaP in 1997 NOT because it was causing “fevers” (like the article says), but because it was causing full on brain damage in many children..
