Deadlier Whooping Cough Epidemic Likely Caused by Vaccine
The whooping cough epidemic is receiving a big “ahem” in the media but we’re not hearing the whole story. There is probable reason to believe that the new virulent strain is a result of the pertussis vaccine, yet the blame for the spread is directed at those who won’t vaccinate.
More alarming, is the very recent call for pregnant women to run out and receive a whooping cough vaccine booster during their late second to third trimester.
Why? Because the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices says so. They believe the immunity will pass on to their unborn children before they will have to receive it within two months of their birth. They also want teens and adults nearby the newborn to receive the vaccine to form a family “cocoon” of immunity. The panel also voted to recommend that babies receive a bacterial meningitis vaccine within nine months of birth.

Whooping Cough Epidemic Caused by Virulent New Pertussis Strain—And It’s the Result of Vaccine
The CDC and NIH keep pushing the pertussis vaccine, in spite of info that it’s causing the new whooping cough epidemic that is 10 times more deadly than the old whooping cough.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) would prefer that you remain unaware of a couple of highly significant facts about the whooping cough resurgence. It is most likely caused by the pertussis vaccine and it’s ten times more deadly than the original variety.
To top it all off, they are blaming the unvaccinated for the new more lethal strain of whooping cough, and they are pushing people even harder to be vaccinated with the same vaccine that’s almost certainly responsible for it!
More than one new strain of Bordetella pertussis has been found. However, the one that seems to consistently pop up in different countries is called ptxP3.
Medical Journal Discussions of ptxP3
In BioMed Central’s 2008 report by Audrey J. King, et al, several changes in B. pertussis were noted. Significantly, the article discusses a divergence from the vaccine strains and the new types, stating:
In the Netherlands this divergence between vaccine and circulating strains has played a role in the reemergence of pertussis.(1)
The August 2009 issue of Emerging Infectious Diseases published research by Frits R. Mooi, et al, entitled “Bordetella pertussis Strains with Increased Toxin Production Associated with Pertussis Resurgence”. This paper’s introduction states:
We present evidence that in the Netherlands the dramatic increase in pertussis is temporally associated with the emergence of Bordetella pertussis strains carrying a novel allele for the pertussis toxin promoter, which confers increased pertussis toxin (ptx) production. Epidemiologic data suggest that these strains are more virulent in humans.(2)
The Mooi report focuses on the virulence of the new whooping cough strain and makes a direct association with the vaccine. It points out that the strain was first isolated in the United States in 1984, and that the virulent ptxP3 strains have been replacing the vaccines’ ptxP1 strains. They also note that the greater prevalence of whooping cough in older age groups (that is, adolescents and adults) is directly related to the new ptxP3 strains.
The ptxP3′s greater virulence is shown in a table of increases in illness and death in The Netherlands between the years 1981-1992 and 1993-2004. The salient points are reproduced here:
Parameter |
Deaths/
|
| 1981-1992 | 0.00057 |
| 1993-2004 | 0.00582 |
Increase |
10.21 times greater |
In November 2010, BMC Genomics published “Comparative genomics of prevaccination and modern Bordetella pertussis strains” by Marieke J Bart, et al. This paper focuses on “how B. pertussis has adapted to vaccination”(3). That leaves little room for question about the issue. The new strains of B. pertussis have developed in response to vaccinations for whooping cough.
Lest there be any doubt that the CDC is fully aware that a new strain of B. pertussis is causing the new epidemic of whooping cough, refer to Bordetella pertussis Strains with Increased Toxin Production Associated with Pertussis Resurgence, which includes a graph created for the Mooi article quoted above.
Vaccination Insanity
There can be no doubt that the agencies responsible for tracking disease and our vaccination programs are fully aware of the fact that the unvaccinated cannot be held responsible for the outbreaks of whooping cough. They also know that the new strains are more than ten times deadlier, and that the reason is adaptations to existing vaccines.
Yet, what is their strong recommendation to the general public? It’s to vaccinate even more! As discussed in the prior article, Whooping Cough Outbreaks in Vaccinated Children Become More and More Frequent, the B. pertussis vaccine carries grave risks.
So, they’re advising ever more vaccinations with the vaccine that’s creating a far more virulent form of whooping cough, cannot protect against the disease it’s creating—and and carries severe risks of death and lifelong disability!
Not only are these agencies not telling us the truth about the whooping cough outbreaks, but they are also misleading us. They have told us nothing about the ten-fold increased rate of death. They have told us nothing of its cause. They have blamed those who cannot possibly have been the cause of the new disease. And they push us to get vaccinated with the cause of the new deadlier strains!
Is there any reason to doubt that the CDC, the NIH, and other agencies are beholden to Big Pharma? Is there any reason to trust anything that they suggest?
This article is with deep appreciation to the anonymous reader who provided a reference of the reality of the new strains of whooping cough. Thank you!by Heidi Stevenson

“So, they’re advising ever more vaccinations with the vaccine that’s creating a far more virulent form of whooping cough, cannot protect against the disease it’s creating—and and carries severe risks of death and lifelong disability!”
To those of us aware of the deadly “vaccine” scam this is no surprise. Folks it is time to wake up “vaccination” was NEVER about preventing disease.
However it is quite possible that the “Pertussis vaccination” did not create the new deadlier pertussis strain. Our planned Political Pandemic will IMO attack our LUNGS as does pertussis. Why is it so important to get “LUNG vaccines” into potential pandemic victims?
I know all this sounds like it is right out of a B grade horror movie but until we get an honest federal government and an honest HHS my advice is NO NEEDLES. And if NEEDLES become mandatory lock and load.

My teenage kids caught something, with a bad cough, that lasted about 2-3 weeks just as school was recessing for the summer in 2004. I caught whooping cough from them shortly thereafter. I was in my mid 40′s. If I was standing when the coughing started, it would literally knock me off my feet, and I would lay on the floor gasping for air. The worst coughing lasted 6 weeks, but it took 6 months for the coughing to completely cease. I was very weak for a long time afterwards. It took two years of an organic diet with supplements before I felt “myself” again.
If forced vaccinations aren’t a form of terrorism, I don’t know what is. Ignorance of oppression isn’t the same as freedom. Happy 4th.
This evidence comes only days after the major research into infant mortality rates and national vaccination programmes that demonstrate that the higher the vaccination input the higher infant mortality.
UK with 19 vaccines administered prior to one year of age is 25th out of 34 position re infant mortality, USA with 26 vaccines administered before one yr of age is 34th. Sweden with only 12 vaccines given before one year of age is at number 2.

Good. Good. Keep on spreading this misinformation. Me and my pathogen associates thank you. Stupid humans will swallow your lies hook, line, and sinker. They’re stupid enough to think that a vaccine causes a mutation in a bacterium, then they don’t deserve this planet. Thanks again.
@Rubeola
Why is it you pharmaceutishills are so hateful and nasty? I’ve never seen a sound scientific argument from your camp – just the kind of venom one finds across the web from other corporate suck ups and arrogant low-info saps.
This might be the first time I’ve posted.
Real experiences – Thank you, “Mama”
My 8yo and I caught whooping cough (after the worst, we found out) from the nursing home staff our loved ones require, in 2008. Being around 40, I’d been fully vaccinated. We studied and chose not to vaccinate our son; our state requires a medical reason (though it is also completely against our spiritual beliefs, as well)…our studies were based on the scientific evidence, as we are both highly educated adults.
My unvaccinated son suffered sinus/cold like symptoms that I would catagorize as mild-moderate, for about 4 days.
I almost died.
First, I suffered a fever so severe, that I was delirious for days (actually nights were much worse). Then, the long term and ongoing trauma and damage to my respiratory system…coughing til I nearly passed out…lasted for 11 months before I felt significant improvement.
I developed asthma. Severe enough to leave me gasping, exactly like a fish out of water, on the floor several times a day.
I developed a type of chronic fatigue…because I literally could not get enough oxygen, even after I learned to control the asthma. My lungs were so severely damaged, I believe with scar tissue, that it took another year+ to begin to notice a difference in my breath.
I am grateful to have recovered to the extent that I have…I have regained some measure of strength, though I am still working on my stamina. I still have challenges with my breathing and getting enough oxygen, but am greatly improved, and am hopeful to make a full recovery. Eventually.
Gee, do I want to be vaccinated again? Um…hell, no!
Has personal experience changed my educated opinion about vaccinations, particularly for my child? Harumph! He’s safer and better protected having contracted it on his own. And I don’t expect him to suffer through it as a mature adult, or as a susceptible elderly person, either!
I am absolutely convinced we did the right thing not vaccinating! Now, if only we could avoid the places that seem to incubate these little monsters!
Thank you for publishing this article. It draws attention to a very important topic. As the mother of a baby who contracted whooping cough when she was only 5 months old, I care very much about this issue. I had decided to stretch out the vaccinations for my child, starting her DTaP vaccine at 4 months old instead of 2 months. Originally I was going to be a no-vax Mom, but I made the decision to stretch out her vaccinations instead because I was going back to work, and would need to send her to day care starting at 5 months. So I wanted her to be protected.
When she did get whooping cough, I was extremely anxious and panicked and upset. I blamed myself and was convinced that it was my fault. I told myself that if I had allowed her to start getting DTaP at 2 months old, she would have had 2 doses, instead of just 1, of the DTaP vaccine and so her whooping cough may have been prevented.
But I learned from the California Dept of Health that it may not have been my fault after all (I had to speak to them because pertussis is a reportable disease, and they called me to find out more about my daughter’s case). The nurse told me that a) there is a whooping cough epidemic in California; b) that even those who were fully vaccinated were getting whooping cough; and c) that the vaccine was “not working as well” anymore. I asked her to elaborate, and she said, “The vaccine is just not as protective as it used to be against these new strains of the pertussis bacteria.”
So, what I wanted to ask you was, does a vaccine actually cause the bacteria to mutate into something more dangerous? If so, what is the mechanism by which that happens? I am imagining all these “evil” bacteria actively “looking” for ways to attack us, and mutating and creating new strains of themselves until they do find a way to get around “our defenses.” Can that be the case?
First, I do not want to minimize the concern regarding the development of divergent strains of B. pertussis. It is apparent from my review of the published literature that scientists from many disciplines have been tracking these changes for at least ten years. Our awareness of these genetic divergences is a testimony to the vigilance of epidemiologists and other public health professionals.
Second, if these divergences are the result of selective pressure from pertussis vaccine use, it is not the vaccines themselves that place selective pressure on the bacteria, it is the human antibodies produced in response to the vaccine that have created selective pressure. This is evidence of the effectiveness of the vaccines, not evidence of their failure.
The assertion that divergent strains of B. pertussis are “ten times more deadly than the original variety” is based on an observation from a single study in the Netherlands (Mooi et al., 2009). Attempting to generalize the findings of that study to populations outside of Holland is a threat to its external validity. To my knowledge, a similar increase in virulence has not been observed by other investigators
Pertussis vaccines have reduced the incidence and mortality due to pertussis in the 60 years since they were introduced. That point that is made in three of the four references cited in this article (Bart et al., 2010; King et al., 2008; Mooi et al., 2009) and was probably made in the full text of Advani et al. (2011).
The same references proposed, but do not conclude that, pertussis vaccines may contribute to the selective pressure on the organism. They also suggest that other factors may contribute to the genetic divergence of B. pertussis; factors including decreased immunization coverage and waning immunity in older populations.
Bart et al. (2010) suggest that suboptimal vaccines may have contributed to the genetic divergence of B. pertussis. Advani et al. (2011) note the increased incidence of pertussis in a region of Sweden where a single antigen vaccine was used rather than the more effective two antigen pertussis vaccine used in the rest of Sweden.
Finally, none of the references cited in this article suggests that interrupting pertussis immunization is warranted or wise. Elomaa et al. (2009) recommend universal boosting of older populations in which immunity to pertussis has waned. Mooi et al. conclude, “Our results… suggest that an effective way to control pertussis is the improvement of current vaccines to induce Ptx-neutralizing antibodies which persist longer.”
The most dramatic improvement in pertussis vaccines was the introduction of acellular pertussis vaccines, which are less reactogenic than the older whole-cell pertussis vaccines (Jefferson et al., 2003).

Pertussis vaccines have reduced the incidence and mortality due to pertussis in the 60 years since they were introduced.

Just publications, not substanciated by any evidence. Please, prove me wrong by showing me research including a double blind study with a control group of non-vaccinated individuals. The reduction of the incidence and mortality due to pertussis and other diseases was in fact caused by an improvement in hygiene and sanitation due to access to clean water and better nutrition*.
Sorry, from my perspective vaccine “science” is starting to look more like biological warfare, working against, rather then with the immune system, causing all sorts of damage.

All just publications not backed by research with proper scientific protocols in place to prevent biased outcomes.
The truth is that the decline in diseases like pertussis occurred thanks to improvements in nutrition, hygiene and sanitation due to access to clean water.

Sorry, from my perspective vaccines are starting look more like biological warfare, working against, rather then with the immune system, more likely then not causing all sorts of damage. The best way to develop and protect our immune systems is by contracting viruses and bacteria naturally and using nutritional, vibrational and herbal remedies that work with, rather than against the immune system. Changing the mindset from “preventing disease” to upgrading and optimizing the immune system by allowing viral and bacterial pathogens to pass through with adequate and effective support to minimize suffering.
It’s all funny till someone loses a child.
I’ll wager there is NO evidence for the disease spread claims made against vaccines in this article.
