Proof That Whooping Cough Vaccines Don’t Work

Proof That Whooping Cough Vaccines Don’t Work










Dr. Sherri Tenpenny

This past summer, newspapers throughout North America
announced an epidemic of whooping cough, caused by the bacterium
Bordetella pertussis, in California that health officials predicted
would spread throughout the country. From January, 2010 through the end
of November, California’s state epidemiologist reported 2,625
pertussis cases including ten infant deaths while the Center for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported 18,586 cases nationwide.
[1] The reports have speculated that the outbreaks have been caused by
the large number of unvaccinated children throughout the state. What
these reports fail to mention is that most of the children who
contracted pertions and treatment, conclude the authors.” [5]

More recently, The Star-Ledger reported on February 11, 2009 of a
pertussis outbreak in 21 fully vaccinated children in Hunterdon County,
New Jersey. [6] Even in Canada, a laboratory-confirmed pertussis
outbreak occurred among preschool children in Toronto where greater than
90 percent of the kids were up-to-date with pertussis immunization.
[7]

The Watchdog Institute, an investigative journalism center based in San
Diego, recently teamed up with local San Diego television station,
KPBS, to research the actual number of families affected by the whooping
cough outbreak to determine how many children had been fully
vaccinated against pertussis. The four-month investigation culminated
in the airing of a documentary on December 16, 2010. Their research was
revealing: In the nine California counties most affected, 44 to 83
percent of those contracting the infection had been fully vaccinated. In
Ohio and Texas, two states also having record numbers of whooping
cough cases, 75 and 67.5 percent respectively had been vaccinated. [8]

Dr. Fritz Mooi, a respected Dutch scientist who has been studying
pertussis bacteria mutations for 15 years, claims a more virulent strain
is the cause of recent outbreaks. Mooi says the international Global
Pertussis Initiative has ignored his theories about a new, more toxic
strain of the disease. “They just don’t want to listen,” he said. “They
have kept it out of their articles, and it’s a kind of censorship.”
Much money has been invested in the current vaccine, Mooi said, and if
he is right about a new strain, a different vaccine would need to be
developed. [9]

Conflicts of interest

The Watchdog Institute and KPBS further found that the two leading
global makers of pertussis vaccines, Sanofi Pasteur and GlaxoSmith
Kline, have funded expert groups that recommend vaccine policy on the
disease to government agencies. Sanofi Pasteur funds the most
influential group, the Global Pertussis Initiative, which is made up of
35 medical experts from 16 countries. The Watchdog Institute and KPBS
found that 24 of the group’s members have received funding from Sanofi
Pasteur, its parent company Sanofi-Aventis, and/or GlaxoSmithKline
(GSK). [10]

The CDC cites the Global Pertussis Initiative in its publications and
the World Health Organization had four members of the Initiative on
their pertussis vaccine advisory committee. This conflict of interest
translates to countries spending millions on pertussis vaccines that
have a long history of not being protective, with the manufacturers
unwilling to spend any of their revenue on research into emerging
strains of pertussis. Globally, vaccines were a $22 billion industry
last year and according to one forecast, sales are expected to top $34
billion by 2012. In just the state of California, health departments
spent $207 million on pertussis vaccines since 2007 with a whopping
$59.6 million spent in 2010. [11]

Vaccinated as Silent Carriers

Vaccine-induced immunity to pertussis is measured by a blood test,
called a titer test, which measures the presence of specific antibodies
thought to be protective. It is recognized that these antibodies wane
over time. The incidence of B. pertussis infection in adolescents and
adults appears to be approximately one percent per year. Infection is
most likely to be pertussis among those with a cough that has lasted
more than 21 days. Officials believe infections in adolescents caused by
“waning immunity” to be a source of transmission in the community,
particularly for young infants.

As a result, new vaccines such as Boostrix, for children 11 to 18 years
of age, and Adacel, for adults 19 to 64 years of age, have been
developed and licensed for use in the U.S. [12] Public health officials
hope that by vaccinating teens and adults there will be fewer cases of
pertussis overall. The rush to revaccinate the entire population and
all age groups against pertussis has had little effect on lowering the
incidence of whooping cough overall.

Pertussis-containing vaccines seem to have little effect on the overall
incidence of the infection. Instead of focusing on the fear of
whooping cough, it is obvious we need to focus on strengthening the
immune system naturally and simple public health measure that work.
Health aids such as hand washing, getting eight hours of sleep per
night, taking vitamin C and maintaining a high blood level of Vitamin D
are foundational in the prevention of all infectious diseases,
including pertussis. Clearly, public health officials need to embrace
these non-toxic, non-invasive methods over injections that don’t work
and can cause serious harm.
