I've Got Whooping Cough. Thanks a Lot, Jenny McCarthy.

101. It hasn't been out that long and adults aren't recommended for it

unless they are going to be around infants under the age at which they can be vaccinated.

In other words, the adult vaccine is new and not yet widespread.

The bottom line is that antivax hysterics are causing a lot of other people damage while exposing their children to "usual childhood diseases" that can be deadly.

I'm just waiting for diphtheria to come back. Seeing the reality of that illness just might make a few of those idiots change their alleged minds.

I got whooping cough before the adult booster came out. It hung on for a solid six months. Waking up out of a sound sleep in laryngospasm is not pretty and it should not happen to anyone.

Religious exemptions should be issued only to people like the Amish, whose children go to local religious schools and have very limited contact with other children.
