Sean Adl-Tabatabai – CDC officials have warned parents that the current whooping cough outbreak is caused by children who received the pertussis vaccine.
Kim Davis, the Nursing Director for the Carteret County Health Department, told WITN that all cases of whooping cough in North Carolina so far have been in fully vaccinated children:
“Every case that we’ve had, that we’ve seen so far, has been vaccinated. So you can’t take for granted that just because your child’s been vaccinated for pertussis that they don’t have the capability of contracting it.” (Source)
Healthnutnews.com reports: The pertussis vaccine is supposed to protect against whooping cough, and even though health officials now acknowledge that the vaccine is not effective, it is still required.
What happened when a UK doctor appeared as an expert witness to help two mothers prove in court that their children didn’t need to be vaccinated?
A 3 year court case against the British General Medical Council that ended with the doctor accused having all allegations dropped.
Dr. Jayne Donegan
Dr. Jayne Donegan, a UK GP, has lived a most fascinating story. It began with her originally being a very strong advocate for vaccinations, but fast forward quite a few years later, and she now not only speaks out against the dangers of vaccinations, but ended up being taken to the General Medical Council with some pretty serious claims by them regarding her professionalism.
After a few stressful years in court against them, Dr. Donegan won her case. But chances are, this is the first you’re hearing of it.
In order for you to get the full account of what happened, it’s best to read her full story. Dr. Donegan gave me her permission to use her account below:
Dr. Jayne Donegan’s Story
Having trained as a conventional medical doctor, qualifying from St. Mary’s Hospital Medical School, University of London, in 1983, all of my undergraduate teaching and postgraduate experience in Obstetrics & Gynecology, Family Planning, Child Health, Orthopedics, Emergency Medicine and General Practice led me to be a strong supporter of the Universal Childhood Vaccination Program. Indeed, I used to counsel parents in the 1980s who didn’t want to vaccinate their children against whooping cough – which was regarded as the ‘problematic’ vaccine in those days.
I used to tell them that there were, indeed, adverse reactions, associated with the vaccine – I was not one of those doctors who would gloss over such unpleasant details – but that we doctors were told that the adverse reactions that might occur after the pertussis vaccine were at least ten times less likely than the chance of getting complications from having the disease, and that, essentially, the point of giving their child the vaccine was to prevent them from getting the disease.
I Used To Think Parent’s Who Don’t Vaccinate Were Either Ignorant or Sociopathic
