THE bacteria that causes whooping cough has mutated, eroding the protection provided by the vaccine now given to children, scientists warned yesterday.
University of NSW researchers have identified significant changes in the two most common strains of the bordetella pertussis bacteria, which they also traced back to events in the late 1990s.
Australian children were given a broad-acting “whole cell” vaccination against whooping cough up to 1997, but this was phased out over two years and replaced with a more targeted version.
Concerns over potential side-effects were behind the change to a vaccine with a narrower scope, but this now appears to have contributed to the promotion of resistant strains.
[Note from SaneVax: Could this be the reason for the recent outbreaks of whooping cough in the United States? Has anyone conducted studies to find out? Perhaps it’s just easier, and more profitable, to recommend booster shots for everyone.]
Well could this be another vaccine scam ???? after all I and my wife had whooping cough before there was any antibiotics and medical aid like there is today which is the same for all the childhood diseases we deliberately made sure we suffered from.Even the JAMA information shows the diseases were ddying out back in the 1930/40 and the death rate increased after vaccination started.
So people of the world ….WAKE UP to the frauds that are belng perpetuated in the name of health….
It seems like there have been a lot of reported cases of Whooping Cough lately. I just read an article on CNN about it and listened to an audio file of a baby with whooping cough. This really breaks my heart, everybody should vaccinate their kids so they don’t have to suffer from such a terrible disease!
