Journal study indicates the same thing that vaccine critics have been saying for

nearly a decade or more - The Whooping cough vaccine allows for transmission of whooping cough! (It is also though to be one of the more poorly designed, and more contaminated with viral and bacterial debris than other vaccines.)

Whooping Cough Study May Offer Clue on Surge
By SABRINA TAVERNISE
Published: November 25, 2013



Baboons vaccinated against whooping cough could still carry the illness in their throats and spread it, research published in a science journal on Monday has found. The surprising new finding has not been replicated in people, but scientists say it may provide an important clue to a puzzling spike in the incidence of whooping cough across the country, which reached a 50-year high last year.

An older vaccine with longer-lasting protection was found to have side effects.
The whooping cough vaccines now in use were introduced in the 1990s after an older version, which offered longer-lasting protection, was found to have side effects. But over the years, scientists have determined that the new vaccines began to lose effectiveness after about five years, a significant problem that many researchers believe has contributed to the significant rise in whooping cough cases.

The new study, published on Monday in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, offers another explanation. Using baboons, the researchers found that recently vaccinated animals continued to carry the infection in their throats. Even though those baboons did not get sick from it, they spread the infection to others that were not vaccinated.

1. Expect big pharma's dutiful hatchet men (and women) here to denounce this science as... well,

...not science.

Not the approved bottom-line kind, ya see...

2. Don't forget the flu vaccine!

Influenza vaccination and risk of hospitalization among adults with laboratory confirmed influenza illness

Conclusions
Influenza vaccination did not reduce the risk of subsequent hospital admission among patients with vaccine failure. These findings do not support the hypothesis that vaccination mitigates influenza illness severity.

3. Very good point.

But not sure I have taken enough vitamins today to handle the onslaught expected in "attacking" just one series of vaccines.

4. Make sure you take your homeopathy, too.

Can't be too careful. It's flu season, after all.

5. Aromatherapy works for me.

Good old Vicks Vaporub

6. And make sure your kiddies get their vaccines.

And I love Vapo-Rub. But Pertussus and Flu are nothing to mess around with.

The operative words in this OP come right at the end of the post.

7. They and I already have.

I'm old enough to remember a classmate's family being quarantined for polio.

8. More reason to be sure your children are properly

vaccinated. Whooping cough (pertussis) is nothing any parents want their child to suffer. Vaccination works. People should take advantage of it.
