In Calif. Study, Most Kids With Whooping Cough Were Fully Vaccinated
An anonymous reader writes with this extract from a Reuters article: "In early 2010, a spike in cases appeared at Kaiser Permanente in San Rafael, and it was soon determined to be an outbreak of whooping cough — the largest seen in California in more than 50 years. Witt had expected to see the illnesses center around unvaccinated kids, knowing they are more vulnerable to the disease. 'We started dissecting the data. What was very surprising was the majority of cases were in fully vaccinated children. That's what started catching our attention,' said Witt."
Keep vaccinating your kids and exposing them to lovely chemicals at a young age instead. Too bad the vaccines don't work but the poisons inside do.
So because your bias that all vaccines all the time are good and doctors don't make mistakes is disproved by facts you view it as a bad thing?
Let me guess, people should be forced to use whatever vaccines the governments thinks that they should and if science ever finds out that one of those vaccines actually did harm it should be covered up so that no one ever decides that personal choice is sometimes more important then blind obedience to what the government tells you is in your best interest?

Kids who get chicken pox rarely get shingles as adults. Kids who get chicken pox vaccines can get shingles as adults.
>>>to be unvaccinated significantly increases the risk for you and your children.
No it doesn't. We are at no more risk from unvaccinated humans than we are from unvaccinated cows (which also carry the virus). Even previous diseases that are supposedly "dead", like smallpox, are making a comeback. Every human in the world was vaccinated, but the viruses survived in other organisms and mutated.
