Re: Tetanus/Whooping Cough

[Guest guest]

People often hear only what they want to hear - we have no idea what

the doctor said to her because we weren't in the room. I can't imagine

a doctor telling a patient that tetanus would protect against whooping

cough, because it doesn't, he knows it, and he is smarter than to say

it does. He more than likely did not say what she thought she heard.

Your friend misunderstood what the doc was talking about and what he

was saying. What does it matter, anyway? She obviously got the shot,

it's her life and her choice, nothing anyone else can do about it, so

why spend time and energy worrying about it when it doesn't affect

you? Go to or stay with something productive ....

Just my thinks here and they may not be true.

I'm wondering if that tetanus shot has been put in with a pertussis

shot. At one time, they had shots that would give you a vaccination for

4 things I think.

Pertussis is coming from people tat have never been vaccinated. Think

Mexican aliens here. With California allowing so many illegal aliens in

the state. I'm really surprised that there haven't been some more

serious problems out in there. Plus, what is in California, hits the

whole SW and eventually the US.
