I just read. Whooping cough is back. 500 children so far. Who wouldn’t get vaccines for their baby. I remember whooping cough as a child. It’s brutal.https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/01/us/5-things-pm-may-1-trnd?cid=ios_app

Yep! We are heading back 70 years with infectious diseases that we have vaccines to prevent, but people are not getting vaccinated. I wonder when they are NOT investigating vaccines, are they also NOT investigating these diseases? How stupid.

Doctors Warn Of Second Deadly Viral Outbreak As Cases Of Victorian-Era Whooping Cough Double

“The US has recorded 8,472 cases of pertussis — known as whooping cough — so far this year, according to the CDC — a highly infectious bacterial disease that causes severe coughing fits and leaves patients struggling to breathe…

At least three people have died from the bacterial infection this year, including a child under five in Washington state — the first person to die from whopping cough in the area since 2011.

About 10 deaths are typically recorded from the disease every year in the US, particularly among babies under one year old — who are most at risk. Five doses of the vaccine are 98 percent effective, but this protection wanes over time.

The surge comes amid a dip in vaccinations against the disease, with CDC data showing only 92 percent of kindergarteners are immunized against the disease — and below the 95 percent levels required for herd immunity.” https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-14647673/doctors-warn-second-deadly-outbreak-victorian-era-disease-caes-double.html

They are killing their own supporters. Does that make sense?

What surprises me is that the maga crowd did not vaccinate because of republicans baloney saying vaccinations create autism. Not true. Vaccinations saved us all. No small pox, no polio, no scarlet fever, no whooping cough. Vaccinate your children
