Guest guest Posted September 22, 2000 Report Share Posted September 22, 2000 Sheri - With regard to pertussis immunization, I have the statistics of the 1997 outbreak in North Idaho: 253 reported cases in five counties. Of those cases, 81.5% had four out of four of their DTP shots. In Bonner County alone, 85% had four out of four DTP shots and 15% had three out of four DTP shots. In other words, in Bonner County (where we live) there were zero reported cases among those who had two out of four, one out of four OR zero DTP shots! Seems to me that the pertussis vaccine weakens the body's immune system making one more susceptible to the " real thing " rather than the reverse. By the way, I have the Panhadle Health District and the CDC reports on this particular outbreak. They concluded that vaccination status had no effect on this particular outbreak. And this pediatrician should know that pertussis is NOT a deadly disease. The ones who die while having this infection are - 1) already immune compromised 2) given inadequate treatment (no immune system enhancing modalities like vit C and herbs) 3) given inappropriate treatment (coke floats and antibiotics...) Just couldn't resist replying to this " herd " immunity CRAP! If the disease is not a killer and the vaccine doesn't prevent pertussis, can the pediatrician tell us " 1 " good reason to subject our children to it???
