MB Comment: Washington State Secretary of Health Selecky

says: ‘vaccine refusal doesn’t appear to be playing a key role in the

growing pertussis burden.’

This week’s CDC MMWR report states 76% of Washington state

pertussis cases were in fully vaccinated individuals. The CDC

also says no fatalities have been reported.

This is clearly a case of vaccine failure, not the result of unvaccinated

individuals spreading pertussis.

The pertussis vaccine is not bactericidal. In other words, the

vaccinated can spread pertussis.

A Washington state vaccinated hospital worker is blamed for exposing

patients to pertussis.

Wake up people – the problem is with vaccines

(

vaccine failure and vaccine

adverse reactions) not with the unvaccinated.

Washington’s outbreak, including details such as the percentages of

lab-confirmed cases and case numbers by age, today in the latest issue of

Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
