• anonymous Anarchist: Hurry vaccinate.. You don't want to get this horrible disease.. We need population control we need to sell our vaccines to protect our income oops I mean our population. They say hurry get this shot get that shot.. But really they're INFECTING you with a live strain of the disease you can't "protect" the world from everything with a needle.. Yeah whooping cough is bad.. But how is sticking a kid with a needle containing the same live strain of the virus and coughing and touching a door knob and someone else touching it any different. Oh right.. No shot containing other harmful chemicals its just the virus you get thru it and bam done.. Not I have to go back in 2 years, 4 years, 8 years and 10 years for another dosage of the same virus I'm supposedly immune to all ready.. Because if I get it as a kid I will be immune for good not just 5 %. Oh and I don't run the risk of having adverse reactions to the shot.

• Tanner T: This doctor is confusing immunization with vaccination. They are not the same thing. The body develops immunity. Vaccines attempt to force an immune response, producing antibodies to a dead or weakened virus. You can have lots of antibodies and still get sick from the disease you try to vaccinate against.

• Rose The LPS: I'm vaccinated but I still have this

• Amos Pritchard: Angers me when anti-vaxxers see that whooping cough (and other symptoms and syndromes) aren't 100% treatable as an excuse to not immunize.

• Spooky Boo’s Scary Story Time: That nasal swab hurts, but is necessary. I have whooping cough right now. It's pretty easy to tell an adult has it because you literally cannot breathe for a minute. My whole windpipe closes up. Immunize your kids because believe me, you don't want them to have this. It is HORRIBLE.
