  2. Pertussis Surges, Health Officials Sound Alarm Over "Killer Cough"

  3. "It’s not the diseases that Americans should be afraid of, Bigtree insists: It’s the shots that stop them. ...

    He’s been a close adviser to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and served as communications director for Kennedy’s 2024 presidential campaign. ...

    'I genuinely am upset that your kids are vaccinated, because it’s keeping my kids from getting chickenpox. It’s keeping my kids from getting measles,' he told me."

  4. "Over coffee at a Starbucks just outside Austin, Texas, Del Bigtree told me he wants his teenage son to catch polio. Measles, too. He’s considered driving his unvaccinated family to South Carolina, which is in the midst of a historic outbreak, so that they can all be exposed. He prefers pertussis—whooping cough—to the pertussis vaccine, which he later described to me as a 'crime against children'.”

  5. @DenisCOVIDinfoguy
    Worrying to see such a BIG increase in South Australia:
    “Reported cases:
    🔹COVID: 104 (+31.6%)
    🔹Flu: 62 (-45.1%)
    🔹RSV: 55 (+48.6%)
    🔹Pertussis: 47 (+30.5%)”

    Time to upgrade precautions, wear masks, improve hygiene etc; check kids’ immunisation against whooping cough (pertussis).

  7. "YEAR ONE MAHA:
    1. Measles returns to America
    2. Pertussis returns to America
    3. Chronic hepatitis liver cancer returns
    4. Pandemic preparedness gone
    5. Swung & missed on autism
    6. CDC disassembled
    7. Biotech industry shutting down
    8. Brain drain underway"

  8. Reposting this as the US breaks 2,000 measles cases for 2025, the highest recorded domestically since 1992. On the accelerating crisis of #vaccine preventable disease, the significance of the drop in #vaccination rates, and how this relates to differing responses across the US. This week, an entire school district in Iowa closed to stop a #measles #outbreak, while hundreds are in quarantine in South Carolina.

    Third Infant Pertussis Death Reported in Kentucky in 12 Months
    Officials report significant increases in whooping cough across state, continue to encourage vaccination chfs.ky.gov/News/Documents/Thi

    As of Nov. 19, there have been 566 cases of whooping cough identified in Kentucky, with health
    officials anticipating additional cases in the final weeks of the year. Babies younger than 1 year
    old are at the greatest risk for whooping cough.

  10. "An infant in Kentucky who was unvaccinated against #pertussis, or #WhoopingCough, has died, marking the third death from the deadly bacteria in the state this year. Kentucky had last recorded an infant whooping cough death in 2018." And #RFKJr is working hard to scare more parents away from #vaccines.

  11. Another #Kentucky baby dies of #pertussis (whooping cough) - the third such infant death in the last 12 months, with 566 cases reported so far in 2025. Neither the 3 babies nor their mothers were vaccinated.

    C'mon, people, #vaccinate your kids and get your boosters.

  12. 3 infant #pertussis deaths this year in Kentucky. "Of the three infant deaths reported over the past 12 months, all three were not vaccinated, nor were their mothers." We first tested maternal vaccination for whooping cough over 80 years ago. It's safe & effective & might have saved these babies.

  13. "KDPH confirmed none of the infants who died of pertussis in Kentucky over the past 12 months had been vaccinated, nor had their mothers. Kentucky’s three infant deaths from whooping cough are the commonwealth’s first whooping cough deaths reported since 2018."

  14. "Today, state health officials with the Kentucky Department for Public Health (KDPH) announced a third infant has died from pertussis, a highly contagious respiratory infection that has been increasing in prevalence across the United States in part due to declining vaccination rates. This is the third pertussis-related infant death reported in Kentucky within the past 12 months."

  15. "Rates of #pertussis, also known as #WhoopingCough, are surging in Texas, Florida, California, Oregon, and other states and localities across the country.

    "The outbreaks are fueled by falling #vaccination rates, fading immunity, and delays in public health tracking systems, according to interviews with state and federal health officials."

    #RFKJr must be so proud. medpagetoday.com/publichealthp

  16. RFK Jr. is directly responsible for 2 infant deaths from pertussis in Louisiana. And more to come. Please make sure you are up to date on your vaccinations.

  19. @pixelpusher220 This just happened to me. Well, I got my chart before a call from the Doc, which seems the standard model now. As a result, I continued to potentially infect people with #pertussis before the Doc called to explain that I have it. Ugh. :(
