more on - in Vaccinated - Pertussis Epidemic — Washington, 2012

[Guest guest]

and love this in the quote I just sent:

" Although vaccinated children can develop pertussis, they are

less infectious, have milder symptoms and shorter illness duration, and

are at reduced risk for severe outcomes, including hospitalization

"

AND WHERE is their proof of this - they also should say it helps them

have more friends, eventually find good mates, be rich and

famous.

Their footnotes for that section are here - date from 2003,

1980-1999 - boy, yeah, pretty recent proof:

" Investigation of the Washington epidemic demonstrates multiple

B. pertussis strains causing infection, primarily in vaccinated

persons. Given the high transmissibility of B. pertussis, a

proportion of vaccinated persons remains susceptible and can become

infected during a pertussis outbreak. Unvaccinated children have at least

an eightfold greater risk for pertussis than children fully vaccinated

with DTaP (7). However, because in most of the cases the patients

were vaccinated, the 4.5% of Washington school children who were exempted

from vaccination during 2011–2012 represented only a small proportion of

those at risk for pertussis in the state. Although vaccinated children

can develop pertussis, they are less infectious, have milder symptoms and

shorter illness duration, and are at reduced risk for severe outcomes,

including hospitalization (8–10). "
