Warning: "Expert Government Advisors" Tell Pregnant Women to get Dangerous and Ineffective Whooping Cough Shot

On the heels of us reporting how 'Health Officials' were recommending the dangerous and ineffective flu shot for pregnant women, comes an even more dangerous and outlandish recommendation.  GET THE WHOOPING COUGH VACCINE expecting mothers!  That is what you are going to be pressured with at you next checkup after a panel of "Expert Government Advisors" decided it was the right thing to do based on absolutely NOTHING.  The whooping cough (Pertusis) vaccine has been widely reported- even here multiple times- to be largely ineffective in fully vaccinated individuals (Link to Vaccine Ineffectiveness).  It has become such a concern that the best they could come up with was- no, not stop giving this dangerous concoction, but to give it even earlier in the infants life- while it is still in the womb! Where is the FDA in this matter?  Probably too busy raiding Amish farmers for selling unpasteurized milk.  This application that is being touted by these 'experts' has no scientific basis and it is completely untested in pregnant women.  Here is what one vaccine insert for Pediarix says:
  • Pregnancy Category C
    Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with PEDIARIX. It is not known whether PEDIARIX can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or if PEDIARIX can affect reproduction capacity.
  • Pediatric Use
    Safety and effectiveness of PEDIARIX were established in the age group 6 weeks through 6 months on the basis of clinical studies [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) and Clinical Studies (14.1, 14.2)]. Safety and effectiveness of PEDIARIX in the age group 7 months through 6 years are supported by evidence in infants 6 weeks through 6 months of age. Safety and effectiveness of PEDIARIX in infants younger than 6 weeks of age and children 7 to 16 years of age have not been evaluated

This is in addition to a laundry list of side effects ranging from asthma to death. Please don't get this or any other vaccination while you are pregnant, it is untested and dangerous.  Then think about not getting it at all as it doesn't work anyway and it is not worth the potential health consequences.  Look into natural remedies for Whooping cough.

ATLANTA (AP) - Expert government advisers want every pregnant woman to get a whooping cough vaccination.

It's only the second time a vaccine has been recommended during pregnancy. Flu shots are also recommended for pregnant women.

The aim of the whooping cough shot is to protect newborns, who are too young to get the vaccine.

The panel's vote was a reaction to the resurgence in whooping cough. The nation is on track to have the worst year for whooping cough since the 1950s. There have been more than 32,000 cases, including 16 deaths, this year.

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices approved the recommendation Wednesday. Federal health officials usually adopt the panel's advice and send it to on to doctors and the public.

5 More Cases Of Whooping Cough In Vaccinated Children, Non Vaccinated Blamed!

Below is a prime example of how the press is used to scare the public and demonize those who see through the lies and deciet and choose not to vaccinate their children. This story is severly edited to only include the facts on the case and cuts out all of the lies and fluffed information. This was a two page article about 5 kids who had contracted Whooping Cough in Asheville, North Carolina. Only those who actually read the whole story and are able to pick out a key sentence on that second page will discover that all 5 of these individuals who contracted the disease were vaccinated against it! I encourage all to click on the link after reading these choice cuts from it and understand how the media spins the ineffectiveness of the Whooping Cough (Pertussis) vaccine and demonizes those that do not vaccinate. Just take a look at the comments to the article to understand how effective this tactic is. Every comment ignores or completely misses the fact that these were vaccinated kids and the commentators bash the anti-vaccine movement.

Whooping cough still spreading in Asheville area


ASHEVILLE — Whooping cough continues to spread throughout Western North Carolina, sickening school children around the region and causing hundreds to receive preventative medication.

There have been five reported cases of the disease in Buncombe County so far this year, including two in March and one last week.

The majority of cases were in elementary school-age children.
“It is not really stopping,” said Sue Ellen Morrison, disease control specialist at the Buncombe County Department of Health. “We are continuing to see cases and more than what we would want to see with pertussis.”
Morrison said it is hard to tell if the number of cases will continue to climb.

No one in Buncombe County has been hospitalized from the disease last year or so far this year.

The disease has been on the rise in recent years as a result of better reporting and an increase in unvaccinated people.


Morrison said the disease also spreads because pertussis vaccine is less effective at preventing the disease compared with other vaccines, making people vulnerable.

The five cases this year were among people who had been vaccinated.


Both vaccinated and unvaccinated people contracted whooping cough last year.


Officials said not being vaccinated or up-to-date on vaccines can spread the disease.

Be Careful with Pertussis (Whooping Cough) Vaccine, Insert Admits Increased Risk of Chronic Neurologic Disease!

In a discussion on another site, the provaccine argument that there is "no mercury in vaccines" and a link to a call for 'old' DTap Vaccines was posted as evidence. While anyone with two eyes can see that this vaccine still contains 'trace' (less than/equal to .3 ug mercury/dose)amounts of mercury and still should not be put into the bodies of infants because everyone knows there is no safe level of toxic mercury. Anyway, in my review of this DTaP Vaccine Insert from Sanofi Pasteur it is admitted that this vaccine can cause Acute neurologic illness under "special circumstances". Oh really? Then it goes on to put the onus on the doctor to decide if your child meets one of these "special circumstances" and mentions that the parent should be advised of the increased risk. We all know that most doctors don't have time to read these vaccine inserts and we also know that most don't share them with the parent even if requested. Make sure you take this into consideration before you vaccinate your child with this vaccine.

Tripedia DTaP Vaccine Insert from Link on Sanofi Pasteur Website

A committee of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) has concluded that evidence is consistent with a causal relationship between whole-cell pertussis DTP vaccine and acute neurologic illness, and under special circumstances, between whole-cell pertussis DTP vaccine and chronic neurologic disease in the context of the National Childhood Encephalopathy Study (NCES)report.24,25 However, the IOM committee concluded that the evidence was insufficient to indicate whether or not whole-cell pertussis DTP vaccine increased the overall risk of chronic neurologic disease.25 The decision to administer a pertussis-containing vaccine to children with stable central nervous system disorders must be made by the physician on an individual basis, with consideration of all relevant factors, and assessment of potential risks and benefits for that individual. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and the Committee on Infectious Diseases of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) have issued guidelines for such children.15,22,23 The parent or guardian should be advised of the potential increased risk involved (see PRECAUTIONS, Information for Vaccine Recipients and Parents or Guardians section).

Once Again, Whooping Cough Vaccine Ineffective!

**In what can only be described as a reoccuring theme, another 'outbreak' of the Whooping Cough is occuring in the US, this time in Pensylvania. Once again, this outbreak is occuring in those vaccinated against the disease. Of course, the excuse for why this is occuring is 'bad batch'. Sure, the outbreak in CA where 2 out of 3 were fully vaccinated also had a bad batch and so was the 12 cases last week in Wisconsin. Please go here to see the evidence of these cases: Link to Previous coverage of Whooping Cough Vaccine being ineffective



District Dealing With Outbreak Of Whooping Cough In Schools


According to officials in the Hamburg School District, they have an outbreak of pertussis, better known as whooping cough, on their hands.

A letter to parents from Hamburg superintendent Stephen Keifer warns parents there have been "several confirmed cases of pertussis in the school district."

Keifer told 69 News there have been five cases, four of which were students at the elementary schools.

"That's not unique," said Dr. Kenneth De Benedictis, the head of Reading Hospital's infection control and prevention. "That's happened before in that population."

De Benedictis said most children have been vaccinated against pertussis.

"Either it's worn off or there's something defective in the vaccine, but it is an effective vaccine basically," De Benedictis explained.

OH NO! 12 new cases of Whooping Cough in Wisconsin, ALL WERE VACCINATED!

**Buried in the fearmongering hysteria we often find searching the news for vaccine related news, we found this article about a 'Whooping Cough' outbreak. Towards the tail end of the article, it is revealed that all 12 of the individuals were vaccinated against whooping cough. This is not a surprise to anyone who reads this blog as we reported during the initial hysteria of whooping cough, that most of cases were people who were fully vaccinated. See here: 2 out of 3 fully vaccinated

Not to mention, this post discussing how little there is to fear when it comes to whooping cough: Whooping the Pertusis Fearmongering

If you are worried about getting whooping cough, the safest and most effective defense/treatment is to use herbs(Oil of Oregano and others), vitamins (C, D3, Selenium), and Homeopathic remedies (King Bio is a great Homeopathic company). Colloidal Silver is also very effective and safe, especially those that utilize a silver hydrosol method of production like Sovereign Silver (not affiliated in any way, I just know it works and use it with my kids.) Please click on some of the links on the right side of this blog to find out how to start to take control of your own health and not live in fear of highly treatable 'diseases'.**



Number of whooping cough cases on the rise in La Crosse Co.

LA CROSSE, Wis.- There's a big jump in the number of whooping cough cases in the La Crosse area and health officials are expecting more as it spreads.

There are 12 confirmed cases so far this year. To put that in perspective, in 2009 there were only 2 cases throughout the entire year.

The highly contagious bacterial disease can affect anyone, but it's most serious in infants and young children. It usually starts out much like the common cold but then progresses into a severe cough.

Health officials say the cases of whooping cough this time around are somewhat unusual. "Unfortunately the cases that we've had have been immunized and so we're not really sure how it's being spread so well and so fast, but we are investigating that right now," says La Crosse Co. Public Health Nurse Traci Lien.

A vaccine is recommended for children under 5 to prevent whooping cough. And in 2005, a booster shot was approved for teens and adults. You're recommended to get it once between the ages of 11 and 64.

If you suspect you or your child has whooping cough, health officials recommend calling your doctor to get tested

CA Whooping Cough 'Epidemic'- 2 out of 3 infected were fully vaccinated!

**This story is even worse than our previous numbers reported here Q&A on whooping cough: Have vaccinated people still gotten sick?. 2 out of 3 were fully vaccinated against the Whooping Cough and still came down with it. What does that tell you?**

Vaccinated People Getting Whooping Cough In SD

SAN DIEGO — A KPBS investigation has raised questions about how effective the whooping cough vaccine is in preventing people from getting sick. Nearly two out of three people diagnosed with whooping cough in San Diego County this year, were fully immunized.

California is in the midst of the worst whooping cough epidemic in 50 years. Thirty six hundred people in the state have been diagnosed with the disease. Eight babies have died since January.

KPBS examined data from San Diego County’s Health and Human Services Agency. Of the 332 confirmed cases of whooping cough in the county so far this year, 197 of the people who got sick were up to date with their immunizations. That's nearly 2 out of 3 cases.

Dean Sidelinger is the county’s deputy health officer.

“It’s a little higher then we expected, but certainly we do still feel the vaccine provides protection and it’s an important health tool to try and prevent this disease.”

Research in the Netherlands suggests the bacterium which causes whooping cough, or pertussis, may be mutating and contributing to whooping cough outbreaks worldwide.

THE VACCINE WAR

**This is such a sad story that I wanted to share it with everyone. This is not an unusual story but it does show, at the end, the sad reality that his son is going to be all alone soon with no one to take care of him. Keep in mind, this is an Autism story from the 70s when Autism was a rare disease. Think of how many of these stories are going to be popping up soon with the epidemic of Autism ravaging this world. Who is going to take care of these people? Stories like this are the reason why I am so moved to try and inform as many people as possible about the risks associated with vaccination. It just tears families apart when something like this happens and it is a regretful situation.**


STEPPING inside Ivor Needs' cottage, I'm met by the most remarkable sight – every perpendicular surface in the entire building seems to be covered in letters.

Not single letters. Great piles of them – everywhere you look. Many have the distinctive stamp of the Palace of Westminster. Others are clearly from 10 Downing Street.

Letters from MPs ranging down the decades from Tony Ben to Kerry McCarthy stand shoulder to shoulder with piles of freedom of information requests, affidavits and tribunal minutes.

The 78-year-old Bristolian almost seems lost among this vision of decades of bureaucratic battling. As he looks upon the scene he shakes his head, and with sad eyes cast to the ground, shrugs his shoulders: "It's flamin' unbelievable, isn't it?"

For Ivor has been fighting since the 1970s to overturn the decision of a tribunal, which judged that his son's brain damage was not caused by the whooping cough vaccine.

'Whooping' the Pertussis Fearmongering

Whooping Cough(Pertussis)is all over the news because of the unfortunate deaths in California. In spite of this and the media hyping the risks associated with the disease, I wanted to put some information out that you will not see on the main stream media.

The following is a chart analyzing the number of incidences of Pertussis and the Number of deaths from 1987-2007 (minus 2001 because Deaths were not available). You will notice that in those 19 years of available data, there were 169,439 cases reported and 184 deaths. This means if you contract "Whooping Cough" you have a .108% chance of dying from it. This is hardly worthy of the mass hysteria the media is trying to create.

Pertussis Death Chart

Now, for that minimal risk of dying, what are the types of ingredients used in the DTaP (Pertussis) vaccine?

How about some lovely Bovine (Cow tendons and tissues) extract, a nourishing mix of potentially lethal contaminants from a cow. Then there is Formaldehyde, a known carcinogen (cancer causer): Known Carcinogen. There is also Gelatin which is known to cause allergy and anaphlaxis(hypersensitivity to one or more allergens, which could be deadly. More ingredients:

2-phenoxyethanol- Also called ethylene glycol. Know to be toxic to kidneys, nervous system and liver. A replacement for thimerosal.

Polysorbate 80: Numerous studies have shown this stabilizer can cause infertility:

Thimerosal: Used during manufacturing in these vaccines said to have less than 0.3mcg/dose. According to the FDA, the exact quantities in the vials have not been confirmed by independent testing. (+) Multidose vials with thimerosal 25mcg/dose.
