Los Angeles County Has a Whooping Cough Outbreak. Can You Guess Why?
Highly contagious whooping cough clusters are popping up among students across Los Angeles County in California. The outbreaks are prompting health and school officials to take action to contain them.
But if you read all the way to the bottom of the featured article, you’ll notice that school officials report that only 18 of the 1,600 students in the entire school system have exemptions to opt out of the whooping cough vaccine. Since none of those 18 are sick, it means all of the students affected in this outbreak were vaccinated.
More than 94 percent of kindergarten children have had four to five whooping cough, aka, pertussis, vaccines, but despite this high coverage, whooping cough cases continue to break out and rise in number across the country. In an effort to combat these outbreaks, health officials have continued the same old mantra: Get vaccinated and revaccinated and vaccinated again — oh, and end vaccine exemptions.
This, despite the fact that for nearly two decades, scientists have published evidence showing the ineffectiveness in this vaccine. What’s even more interesting is that so many children, who have had multiple vaccinations are up to date on their vaccines, are coming down with whooping cough anyway.
The truth is the vaccine’s immunity lasts at best two to five years, and even when health officials add more boosters to the schedule, the vaccinated continue to get sick. Another thing — the vaccinated can still transmit the infection, even if they show no symptoms and even if they’ve received as many as six pertussis shots..
