Myths and Lies about Pertussis and Pertussis Vaccines

For the past decade, Americans have been subjected to dire warnings that B. pertussis whooping cough cases are on the rise and it is the fault of parents who don't vaccinate their children.

That myth actually goes back to the early 1980s, when parents of DPT vaccine injured children in the U.S. were asking for a safer pertussis vaccine while, at the same time, discovering that whole cell pertussis vaccine in DPT shots did not prevent infection5 and vaccine immunity lasted for only two to five years.

For the past decade, Americans have been subjected to dire warnings that B. pertussis whooping cough cases are on the rise and it is the fault of parents who don’t vaccinate their children.

That myth actually goes back to the early 1980s, when parents of DPT vaccine injured children in the U.S. were asking for a safer pertussis vaccine while, at the same time, discovering that whole cell pertussis vaccine in DPT shots did not prevent infection5 and vaccine immunity lasted for only two to five years.

The same old excuse – “It’s the parent’s fault” – is being invoked again in the 21st century by forced vaccination proponents who want to eliminate vaccine exemptions, just as another generation of parents are discovering that acellular pertussis vaccine in DTaP shots also does not prevent infection and vaccine immunity is waning, lasting at best for two to five years.

Time to Dispel Myths and Lies About Pertussis and Pertussis Vaccines

What’s old is new again. And it is time to dispel the myths and lies being told about pertussis and pertussis vaccines. In brief:

•   FACT : Both the reactive whole cell DPT vaccine licensed in 1949 and the less toxic acellular DTaP vaccine licensed in 1996 do not prevent infection or transmission, and only provide two to five years of temporary immunity at best;
•   FACT : Millions of vaccinated children and adults are silently infected with pertussis in the U.S. every year and show few or no symptoms but spread whooping cough to vaccinated and unvaccinated children – without doctors identifying or reporting cases to the government;
•   FACT : In response to mass pertussis vaccination campaigns beginning in the 1950s, the B. pertussis microbe evolved to evade both whole cell and acellular pertussis vaccines, creating new strains producing more toxin to suppress immune function and cause more serious disease.
