Do you know WHY more people die of asthma than whooping cough?
BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE ARE VACCINATED AGAINST WHOOPING COUGH!!!
Further, surviving whooping cough isn't a picnic either. It often results in brain damage and other life long disabilities.
I'll also point out that so far there is no clear causal link between vaccination and asthma.
More scare tactics not backed up by any facts.
Heres the facts:
The year before the whooping cough vaccine less 300 people died of whooping cough, thats 4700 less then are currently dying of asthma.
Whooping cough had been on the decline for many years and was naturally going away. Its unnecessary to vaccinate against something thats is going away naturally.
The vaccine is not very effective and does not provide lifelong immunity.
- In the UK between 1970 and 1990, over 200,000 cases of whooping cough occurred in fully vaccinated children. (Community Disease Surveillance Centre, UK)
- - In 1979, Sweden abandoned the whooping cough vaccine due to its ineffectiveness. Out of 5,140 cases in 1978, it was found that 84% had been vaccinated three times! (BMJ 283:696-697, 1981)
Don’t believe the scare tactics developing brain damage or other life long problems is so rare. If you’re healthy and get proper treatment you really don’t have much to worry about.
Drug companies will say anything to give you a shot because they profit $$$.
How many clear links do we need:
Studies
Salzburger Elternstudie (Survey of / by parents) (2001-2005) Results: Unvaccinated children -- virtually no asthma;vaccinated 1 in 10; and three to five times less Neurodermatis.......Englische Kohortenstudie (1988 - 1999) Results: Vaccinated children are up to 14 times more likely to have asthma than the unvaccinated and up to nine times more like to have skin problems. ......Langzeitstudie in Guinea-Bissau: Results The death rate for unvaccinated children is about half that of the vaccinated. .....Schwedische Studie an Waldorfschulen: Results Unvaccinated kids have a lower risk of allergies..[May 2005 Germany] Who is healthier, the vaccinated or the unvaccinated?!http://www.impf-portal.de/aktuell/fragebo/fraboaus10.doc
[The effect of DPT and BCG vaccinations on atopic disorders]
[Article in Japanese]
Department of Pediatrics, Tokyo Metropolitan Government Hiroo General Hospital.
METHODS: To examine the relationship between DPT and BCG vaccinations and development of atopic diseases, we studied on 143 children resident of the island of Kodushima, Tokyo Japan. This study dealt with the entire population of 0-3 years old (82), all of the first graders of the elementary school (31) and all of the first graders of the junior high school (30) on the Island. RESULTS: Among the 82 children aged 0-3, out of the 39 who received DPT vaccination, 10 (25.6%) suffered from bronchial asthma and this ratio was significantly higher than among the children who have not received DPT vaccination (1 in 43, 2.3%), (p < 0.01). This was also the case concerning atopic dermatitis (7 in 39, 18.0% vs 1 in 43, 2.3%) (p < 0.05). The same trend was also observed if three diseases (bronchial asthma, allergic rhinitis and atopic dermatitis) were combined (22 in 39, 56.4% vs 4 in 43, 9.3%) (p < 0.01). As to the context of BCG vaccination, there were no cases with atopic disorders among the tuberculin positive first graders of the elementary school. No such relations, however, were observed among the first graders of the junior high school at all. FINDINGS: From these results, we conclude that DPT vaccination has some effect in the promotion of atopic disorders, while successful BCG vaccination inhibits the development of atopic disorders, although the preventive effect of BCG may not last for many years.
