Is this vaccine to blame for these recent outbreaks?

For decades now, cases of whooping cough have been on the rise, with outbreaks reported from New Hampshire to Florida to Ohio and beyond.

And health officials are warning that this is very likely to be an “epidemic year” for the illness.

But going hand in hand with that, kids are being vaccinated for whooping cough (a.k.a. pertussis) more than ever. Currently, children are given five DTaP (named for diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis) shots before they’re even 7 years old!

Adults are also told to get booster shots, and everyone from family doctors to the CDC to Big Pharma are called them a “must” for seniors who may be around new grandbabies.

So, given all of that vaccinating… shouldn’t pertussis cases be hitting rock bottom at this point?

Researchers now claim that they’ve found the reason why the illness is coming back with a vengeance. It’s not the vaccine, but rather a bizarre combo of circumstances that somehow circles right back to… yep, the vaccine!

How’s that for an answer?

But there’s something else that these researchers didn’t take into consideration.

And it’s directly linked to the shot itself – and how it may not be preventing this illness, but spreading it like wildfire.

Ignoring the obvious

Poor Mary Mallon. Despite the fact that she passed away in 1938, this Irish cook lives on in history as the infamous “Typhoid Mary.”

But the idea that someone could carry and transmit a disease while appearing perfectly healthy (or asymptomatic) didn’t begin or end with her. In fact, right now, an untold number of people – kids, parents, and grandparents – may be modern examples.

Only… instead of typhoid, they’re spreading whooping cough. While the vaccine may reduce the symptoms, it doesn’t stop you from transmitting the illness.

That means that you can still become infected and give it to others (who could become extremely sick), even though you’ve received the vaccine and appear to be the picture of health!

Five years ago, an FDA-funded study found that even when fully vaccinated and appearing to be quite healthy, baboons (who react to diseases in a manner very similar to humans) were still able to spread pertussis easily.

But the most frightening aspect of this research is the fact that those vaccinated baboons could carry high amounts of the pertussis bacteria in their noses and throats for well over a month – meaning that they were extremely contagious for at least that long.

The reason for that is the vaccine doesn’t “block transmission,” according to researchers at the Santa Fe Institute. So, there could be potentially “millions of people out there” with no symptoms and no idea that they could be making others sick.

Of course, whenever vaccines prove to be next to worthless (or even harmful), the mainstream will grasp at straws to defend them – and this new study is the flimsiest one yet.

It’s not that the shots don’t work, scientists at the University of Michigan say, but pertussis is on the rise because the vaccine “isn’t quite perfect” and wasn’t given to “everybody in the population.”

Actually, there was a shot considered to be more “perfect,” and it was phased out in 1996, nearly 50 years after it was discovered that it was causing kids to suffer convulsions, brain inflammation, and permanent brain damage.

I’ve heard a lot of gibberish in support of vaccinations over the years, but those Michigan researchers take the cake! Perhaps they’re setting the stage for the return of that deadly, more effective version.

The bottom line is that not only doesn’t the current shot work very well (research from Kaiser Permanente found that most of the pertussis in the U.S. involves “recently vaccinated children and adolescents”), it could allow you to transmit a potentially dangerous illness to someone you love.

And that’s especially risky if that someone is a new baby.

As the Santa Fe researchers pointed out, those who have received the vaccine can still “unknowingly” spread the disease many times.

The false sense of security that’s used to sell the pertussis shot to everyone from kids to seniors is another example of why we can’t take Big Pharma’s word at face value when it comes to vaccines – because some of them turn out to be doing more harm than good.
