Also known as pertussis, whooping cough is a bacterial infection that has been made rarer by a vaccine that also immunizes patients from tetanus and diptheria. Whooping cough still infected nearly 26,000 people in 2004 in the United States alone. It killed 13 children, mostly infants, in 2003. INFECTION AT CHURCH In the Indiana measles case, the unvaccinated girl returned from Romania with the disease and went to a church gathering the next day, the researchers said. She infected 16 people, who infected others until 34 people carried the virus, the largest U.S. outbreak since 1996. Three patients had to be hospitalized: A 45-year-old man and a 6-year-old girl received intravenous fluids, and a hospital worker was put on a ventilator for six days.

My pat answer is always the same. The vaccine marketplace does not need to point the finger at anyone other than themselves. They do a great job of shooting themselves in the foot each and every year.

1. The Big Whiff of 2003. They admitted they guessed wrong. They gave the public a completely useless flu strain in the vaccine. Single-digit effectiveness at stopping the flu. 100% effective at making lots of people sick.

2. 2004 Flu Shot cancelled by UK MHRA and the Liverpool plant's license to produce flu vaccine was pulled. The US FDA was clueless even sending the acting director to salvage the supply. Later documents surfaced that FDA had known about the plant's persistent contamination problems for years and did nothing. It was also disclosed that of all things that Americans owed a debt to the UK authorities for saving countless American lives. Of all things a thimerosal-containing vaccine was contaminated by of all things a serious lung bacteria, Serratia, which is known to cause pneumonia and renal infections. It was also disclosed by a Harvard University student that if flu vaccine induced pneumonia had killed Americans it would be counted as a flu death by CDC.

3. The Swine Flu Fiasco. Lots of paralysis from the liability-free swine flu vaccine. The single soldier that died of the 44 or so that contracted swine flu at Ft. Dix died because he was yanked out of sick bay too soon and sent on a forced march. He collapsed and died. His drill Sergeant could not revive him. DOD Sec Don Rumsfeld reads the report and decides to spice up the lame duck Ford presidential campaign by declaring swine flu a clear and present danger and every man, woman, and child in America will be vaccinated. A syringe of swine flu vaccine was exhibited as the murder weapon in a trial of the murderer of a Gambino family senior member, and not a SINGLE case of swine flu detected anywhere in America.

4. The Monkey Pox carried by prairie dogs CDC-dreamworks pandemic scare. FOX NEWS spread fear showing a photo of an index finger with a sore on it.

5. SARS pandemic scare.

6. Ebola pandemic scare.

7. The $7.1 billion dollar avian flu pandemic scare. TamiFlu stocks soar. DOD Secretary "Swine Flu Guru" Rumsfeld cashes in then recuses himself. Fear is stoked when a story breaks that claimed tests done on dead feral cats found on a German island indicates they may have eaten dead bird flu victims ( the feathered kind) and the flu virus turned into cat flu and killed them. German cat owners are advised to keep Fluffy indoors. The Avian flu plan is endorsed by Congress. CDC head Gerberding confesses that yes bird flu is a problem "if you're a bird."

8.2006 Iowa mumpsles or meaps outbreak. Extremely high percentages of the victims are a generation of fully MMR vaccinated college students (50%). According to statistics an unseemly number of the outbreak victims (30%) remain in the "unknown" category despite shot records being required for college attendance.

9. Rotashield inventor sits on vaccine panel votes to approve his own vaccine. Within a short time infants and toddlers die or have serious bowel surgery because the vaccine causes their large intestines to collapse and fold over their small intestines causing digestive tract blockages that either kill or seriously harm very small children. Rotashield inventor claims no one could have ever estimated that this could happen, although his own vaccine approval profile suggests that cases of so called "intussusception" were to be expected.

10. Take your pick. Vaccines even without thimerosal in them are not benign and the Wizard of Oz level of adverse events outcomes secrecy and package insert turbidity are indicative of "not an exact science" being a fancy way to describe a medical industry theory.

11. Diseases fade away in parts of the world where vaccination was never employed.
