[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Mississippi has recorded 115 pertussis cases from Jan. 1, 2025, to Sept. 29, 2025, after identifying just 49 cases in all of 2024, the Mississippi State Department of Health reported. Mississippi State Health Officer Dr. Dan Edney (pictured) said on Sept. 28, 2025, that an infant has died of pertussis, the state’s first whooping cough death since 2012."

Pro-Life Party killing babies.

Yes, that's 2-3x more but that's really not that much of a bump in total numbers unless most cases typically happen to be at the end of the year. And did no infant die in previous years? Do a bit more research and provide links before posting this stuff because I'm not sure what the point of this post was. I'm not unsympathetic but this is definitely not brow raising (yet).[/quote]

Click the link and read it, moron. As time goes by, the number of unvaccinated Republican death cultists increases, spreading disease to more people, including pre-vax-eligible infants.

I did read it. Again. The only thing it says is, "We do believe that declining vaccination rates are impacting this," by some state health officer. No data here. and once again, there have been 3 deaths in 17 years (2008, 2012, 2025). What does this mean? Were they all infants? Did they have comorbidity? Were they born in the state? Don't let facts stand in the way of your dogma. This is just sloppy reporting and even sloppier lapdogging.

I did, however, do this reporter's and your fact check about age level. They were all pediatric deaths. But once again, all the other questions remain.

Also, here is the incidence of MS from 2003-2024.

This year's numbers are not even the highest numbers since 2003. And the immediate post-COVID years have low numbers because there were fewer social interactions. 2024/2025 are going back to normal. This is the sh!t that the reporter should have done instead of spreading their political views. Yes, vaccination works, and some kids probably fell through the cracks during Covid. But don't open your mouth unless you have a point.[/quote]

Can we agree that Pertussis is a really shitty illness for a kid to endure even if they don't die? [/quote]

Yes, most childhood illnesses suck but it's more than a vax issue. First of all, if liberals (and most conservatives) care about vax, then they should make them all be free with no fees, and on demand, whether they're required or not—otherwise the argument is a nonstarter and people should stop pointing fingers. Healthier kids have a better chance of recovery regardless of vaccination status. Kids need to exercise, not be obese, and have a decent diet not full of junk. People who have traveled overseas need to be unselfish and not send their kids to school if they're sick. When kids get sick from rare diseases, the default is to blame the parents, theirs or someone else's, until proven otherwise. [/quote]

Dems have done tons to expand free access to vaccines. This was a huge part of their health reforms under Obama.

Not to mention things like CHIP and other legislation mandating free vaccines for kids.

MAGA is so dumb.
