[drking] Drft Revu of an article in the false 'Whooping Cough' epidemic

[Guest guest]

All,

Attached is an important Review (both .doc

and .pdf files) of a recent article that speaks

of an epidemic of " whooping cough " when there

is no " epidemic " -- only an outbreak, which is

clearly NOT the worst such outbreak in the last

" 50 years " . This draft will also be posted, as

a .pdf file on http://www.dr-king.com by about

1 September 2010.

This REVIEW rebuts the misleading and false

information presented in the article with

published data ttaken from the CDC's own

publications and establishes that the

problem is with the " pertussis " components

in the DTP/Dtap/Tdap vaccines and not with

the level of vaccination -- as the overall

effectiveness of the diphtheria and tetanus

components of these vaccines clearly proves.

Please read this review, share it with everyone

who you know so that all may know the truth and

hopefully join with this reviewer in calling for

the removal of any vaccine or vaccine component

that is NOT in-use effective from the US approved

vaccines; and, for vaccines and vaccine components

that are effective but MPT in-use cost-effective,

removal of these vaccines/vaccine components from

the CDC recommended vaccination programs.

For those who do not get attachments, though the

entire review is several pages, the rough text

version of this REVIEW minus the tables reads as

follows:

REVIEW:

Another False 'Whooping Cough Epidemic'

Warning: " California declares whooping

cough epidemic Santa Clara County fears

worst year in 50 years "

On July 25, 2010, Kellie Tunbridge,

writing for the San Family Examiner,

penned an article titled, " California

declares whooping cough epidemic[1]: Santa

Clara County fears worst year in 50

years " that seems to be by another

attempt by a writer speaking for public

health officials that is intended to

mislead the public about the continuing

and worsening failure of the pertussis

(whooping cough) vaccine component of the

DTP/DTaP/Tdap vaccines to provide

effective long-term disease protection to

those who are vaccinated or, by way of

the mythical 'herd immunity', protect

those who were not vaccinated for

whatever reason from getting pertussis.

[1] According to this article, 1,337

cases of pertussis in 6 months and a

population of 37,000,000 people => 1

case in 13,837 people in 2010 if 2nd

half like 1st half of year 2010 => ~ 7

cases per 100,000 residents. If cases

were only in children <5 years of age,

which they are not, then this projects

to about 2,674 cases in about 7.5%

(see: http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/06000.html)

of 37 million people (see:

http://www.google.com/publicdata?ds=uspopulation & met=population & idim=state:0

6000 & dl=en & hl=en & q=CA+population)

or about 2,775,000 children under 5

years of age. If this were true, and

it is not, this would translate into an

incidence rate of 1 in 1038 children or

~ 1 in 1,000 children. If this were an

epidemic of pertussis - why is a rate

of 1 on 100 for children with an ASD

diagnosis not an epidemic? [Note:

Since, based on the 2004 data, cases

are primarily occurring in older

vaccinated individuals, the case inci-

dence rate is more likely ~ 1 in 10,000

- certainly not an epidemic - just an

outbreak.]

Factually, there is no epidemic of " whooping

cough " in California. There is only a

" pertussis " outbreak with less than 39 %

increase in cases in 2010 than the " 3100+ "

cases in 2005 on a population corrected basis.

Moreover, since California's population of

about 36.6 million in 2005 has grown to

about 37.2 million in 2010, per capita rate

will be no more than about 33 % higher in

2010 than it was in 2005 in California and,

if the reporting rate declines, may easily

be less than 6 % higher than the California

rate in 2005.

As evidence of this reviewer understands

reality, one need only look at a previous

similar attempt to mislead the public in

2004 when there were about 26,000 cases

nationwide. On 29 October 2004,

medicalnewstoday.com posted

(http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/15220.php)

an article that was titled " Whooping

cough makes a national comeback USA "

which attempted to raise similar fears,

but was, in many ways, more honest than

the current article.

In the 2004 article, the fact that most

cases occurred in the fully vaccinated

and reality that the article was a CDC

and GlaxoKline crafted document were

both clearly revealed. That 2004 article

stated (with underlining to emphasize the

pertinent facts):

" CDC reported highest number of

whooping cough cases in nearly forty

years

With cold and flu season just around

the corner, parents need to be aware

of another serious illness that could

affect their teenagers, pertussis.

Commonly known as whooping cough,

pertussis is a highly contagious

bacterial infection of the respiratory

system that causes spasms of severe

coughing and often masquerades as

common ailments such as a cold or the

flu. According to the Centers for

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),

it is estimated that 39 percent of the

reported pertussis cases in 2003

affected children between the ages 10

and 19. Recent outbreaks have prompted

a growing concern in the public health

community that parents and teens are

not aware of these trends and may

assume this highly contagious disease,

which can be serious in infants, is

just a cough.

According to the results of a new

national survey of parents of teen-

agers conducted by the Society for

Adolescent Medicine (SAM), less than

one in five parents surveyed

(approximately 18 percent) reported

being concerned with the prospect of

their child contracting pertussis, and

more than 25 percent aware of familiar

the illness could not name one

symptom. It is important for parents,

teens and healthcare providers to

remember that childhood immunization

against pertussis wears off five to 10

years after the last routine

vaccination shot (administered when

children are between four and six

years old) " .

In January 2006, the CDC then recom-

mended a booster dose in the form of

FDA-approved Tdap vaccines for chil-

dren 11-12 years of age. See:

http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/recs/schedules/downloads/child/2010/10_7-18yrs-s

chedule-pr.pdf.

Returning to that previous article:

" According to the survey, the majority

(85 percent) of parents of adolescents

did not know the duration of pertussis

protection. Today, many adolescents

are vulnerable and unprotected against

this serious disease.

There have been numerous outbreaks

over the last year in many states,

including New York, Illinois and

Wisconsin where most of the patients

were adolescents. Afflicted teens are

often forced to sit on the sidelines,

unable to attend classes, or

participate in sports and social

events for a week or more because of

the severity of their illness. In

fact, pertussis sufferers may

experience more than two months of

severe, uncontrollable coughing

episodes that can occur 15 times

within 24 hours. These coughing fits

can lead to vomiting, a hernia, or

even a broken rib. In some cases,

pertussis can lead to pneumonia.

Even when school is out of session,

pertussis finds ways to sicken

teenagers, with recent outbreaks at

summer sleep-away camps. Although

whooping cough is rarely fatal in

older children, the mortality rate is

highest in unvaccinated infants who

can catch the illness from adolescent

family members or babysitters.

Society for Adolescent Medicine

Takes Action

These survey results and the recent

surge in pertussis outbreaks prompted

SAM to launch an educational campaign

for teens and their parents, called

" More Than Just a Cough. " The campaign

also encourages parents of teens to

schedule routine health visits.

" After the immunization series is

completed by age six, pertussis

immunization is rarely discussed at

healthcare visits. Few parents realize

that the protection from the pertussis

immunization wears off after five to

10 years, leaving teens vulnerable to

whooping cough, " said Dr. Amy

Middleman, assistant professor of

pediatrics, Adolescent Medicine

Section, Baylor College of Medicine.

" Parents need to be made aware of

pertussis symptoms. Because

adolescents often do not exhibit the

classic 'whoop' that is associated

with the disease, symptoms such as a

mild fever, severe coughing fits and

runny nose are often mistaken for flu

or the common cold. However, anyone

experiencing these severe coughing

fits for seven or more days should

seek diagnosis by a healthcare

provider. "

The CDC recommends that physicians

test for pertussis if patients exhibit

symptoms compatible with the disease

or develop an acute cough after

exposure to someone who has been

diagnosed. If caught early enough,

antibiotics may help alleviate

symptoms or limit the spread of the

disease.

To help educate parents and teens

about whooping cough, SAM is providing

free information about the signs and

symptoms of whooping cough, as well as

the importance of routine adolescent

health visits, available at

http://www.adolescenthealth.org/whoopingcough.html. "

…

About Pertussis

Pertussis can be difficult to detect

because the first symptoms are similar

to the " common cold " with a mild

fever, runny nose and a cough.

Symptoms generally progress to more

severe coughing episodes, often with a

high-pitched " whoop " , followed by

vomiting. These severe coughing spells

can last for more than two months. A

person experiencing these severe

coughing spells may become blue in the

face, and infants may actually stop

breathing for a few seconds. Between

coughing spells, it is typical for

individuals to appear symptom-free.

It is important for parents to know

that adolescents generally exhibit

different symptoms of the disease,

often without the classic " whoop, "

making it difficult to recognize.

While pertussis is threatening to all,

this highly contagious disease can be

serious in infants who are too young

to be fully immunized.

Currently, pertussis vaccination is

given in combination with diphtheria

and tetanus (DTaP) in five doses given

at two, four and six months of age, 15

to 18 months of age and four to six

years of age. However, immunity to

pertussis wears off five to 10 years

after the last childhood dose leaving

many teens unprotected against the

disease.

" Adding a pertussis component to the

current tetanus-diphtheria booster

vaccine routinely administered to 11

and 12 year olds could help control

community outbreaks and protect older

children and teens from this serious

and highly contagious disease. Such a

vaccine is currently being reviewed by

the FDA, and may be available in

2005, " Middleman said.

Cohn & Wolfe "

The current article is much more opaque

in terms of the ages of those contracting

pertussis, the percentage who contract it

who were fully vaccinated, and whether

the CDC was the source of the statements

that the writer chose to publish in her

piece, which, in part, reads:

" The California Department of Public

Health (CDPH) has officially declared

an epidemic of whooping cough in

California.

The Santa Clara County Public Health

Department (SCCPHD) announced Friday

that Santa Clara County is likely to

see the worst year of whooping cough

in 50 years.

According to SCCPHD, whooping cough is

on the rise in Santa Clara County. As

of July 22, 2010[,] there have been 87

confirmed reported cases, compared to

a total of 25 reported cases in 2009 " .

Factually, Santa Clara County, with a

2010 population of about 1.8 million

individuals (http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/06/06085.html),

contains about 4.8 % of California's

population. On that basis, Santa Clara

County apparently has an excess

percentage of cases every year (9.7 % in

2009 and 6.5% in first half of 2010.

Therefore, the causal factors in this

county do not appear to be representative

of the situation across the State of

California.

" As of June 30, 2010, 1,337 cases of

whooping cough have been reported in

California compared to 258 total

reported cases in 2009. To date, six

infants whom are the most vulnerable

have died in California.

Whooping cough, also known as

pertussis, is a bacterial infection

that begins like an ordinary cold and

is most infectious before the coughing

begins.

The cough is so severe that it can

make eating, drinking and breathing

difficult. The intense coughing can

last for weeks causing vomiting after

each spell that can lead to weight

loss and dehydration. Infants are

particularly vulnerable as pertussis

can lead to pneumonia, brain damage or

seizures.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC)

reports on average that every five

years pertussis outbreaks increase.

According to a CNN report, it is still

unclear at this time if the fear of

autism has caused a decline in

immunization rates for whooping cough.

Currently, the pertussis vaccine is

not on the radar list for possible

causes of autism " .

In the USA, as far as this reviewer can

ascertain, there has not been a single-

component " pertussis vaccine " for

decades. Moreover, since the vaccine

used for " pertussis vaccination " is a

DTaP or Tdap vaccine, if the " pertussis

component " were effective, one would

expect a disease rate for " pertussis " to

be similar to the disease rates in

children for the current DTaP/Tdap

vaccines' other two disease-fighting

components, diphtheria toxoid and tetanus

toxoid.

Unfortunately, while the number of cases

in children is " 0 " for diphtheria, a

highly contagious disease, and is near

" 0 " for tetanus, a non-contagious

disease, the total number of cases of

pertussis for the period 1998 through

2008 has ranged from 7,405 in 1998; to

7,288 in 1999; to 7,867 in 2000; to 7,580

in 2001; to 9,771 in 2002; to 11,647 in

2003; to 25,827 in 2004, to 25,616 in

2005, to 15,632 in 2006; to 10,454 in

2007; and to 13,278 in 2008.]

" According to CDC, in the United

States prior to pertussis

immunizations, between 150,000 and

260,000 cases of whooping cough were

reported each year, with up to 9,000

pertussis related deaths " .

As usual, there is NO hard data to back

up the CDC's assertions. In CDC records

going back to 1967, less than 10,000

cases were reported in 1967 (9,718) and

from 1968 through 1992 less than 5,000

cases with a minimum in the years from

1973 to 1982 of 1,000 - 2400 cases per

year [prior to the addition of the

Hepatitis B and Hib vaccination programs

in the late 1980s].

After the addition of the Hepatitis B and

Hib vaccination programs, the level of

pertussis cases from 1987 through 2001

was in the general range from 2,700 to

7,900.

Then, starting in 2002, there appeared to

be a shift in the incidence with from

9,800 to about 25,800 cases in 2004

(mostly in the vaccinated population and

mostly in adolescents - leading to the

" it wears off in 5 to 10 years " admission

in the previous article).

In 2004, the previous article warned of a

" disease resurgence " problem.

In 2005, there were about 25,600 cases

(mostly in the vaccinated population),

and, in mid-year, the FDA approved two

Tdap vaccines for children 11-18 years of

age.

In January of 2006, CDC began recommend-

ding Tdap vaccination for 11 - 12 year-

olds [http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5451-Immunizationa1.htm].

The level fell into the range from 10,450

to 15,630 cases during the period from

2006 through 2008. As of 1 August 2010,

indicating that the added doses of Tdap

vaccine in 2006 or the final expiration

of all of the Thimerosal-preserved DTaP

vaccines may have had some effect.

Though no national figures have been

'published for the years 2009 and 2010,

the reported California figures of 2009

and half of 2010 clearly indicate that

the suppression of " pertussis " by an

added Tdap vaccination does not appear to

offer long-term reductions and may simply

be accelerating the growth in cases of B.

parapertussis and other related bacterial

infections and/or the incidence of

conversion of those vaccinated into

pertussis carriers.

Moreover, attempts to blame the recent

increase in cases in California on the

unvaccinated and/or the failure of the

State of California to mandate the Tdap

booster for children 11 - 12 years of age

are clearly indicate the length to which

public health officials who benefit from

more vaccines will go to attempt to blame

other than a less-than-effective vaccina-

tion program for the rise in disease

cases.

" CDC is cautioning the public to beware

of early onset symptoms such as a cold

or cough, especially with a " whoop "

sound. The first stage of symptoms are

a runny nose, sneezing, low-grade

fever, and a mild cough that gets

worse over a period of one to two

weeks. CDC recommends that adults

receive the pertussis vaccination

every ten years.

CDPH is recommending booster shots

against whooping cough for anyone

seven years and older who is not fully

immunized; women of childbearing age,

before, during, or immediately after

pregnancy; and people who have contact

with pregnant women of infants less

than one year of age. It is also

recommended that preteens 11 and 12

years of age receive a booster.

According to CDC, in the United States

prior to pertussis immunizations,

between 150,000 and 260,000 cases of

whooping cough were reported each

year, with up to 9,000 pertussis related

deaths.

CDC is cautioning the public to beware

of early onset symptoms such as a cold

or cough, especially with a " whoop "

sound. The first stage of symptoms are

a runny nose, sneezing, low-grade

fever, and a mild cough that gets

worse over a period of one to two

weeks. CDC recommends that adults

receive the pertussis vaccination

every ten years. "

The CDC's additional-shots statements are

tacit admissions that:

· The vaccine is not effective in

providing long-term protection and

· A profitable market enlargement for

the vaccine makers and other facets

of the healthcare establishment.

Further, these realities clearly indicate

that the pertussis vaccination programs

are not cost effective and should be

either scaled back or a different

approach should be used for the

management of what is clearly a disease

that the current vaccines cannot provide

long-term protection from to anyone.

Having had whooping cough once when this

reviewer was a child and not having had

it again, this reviewer finds that the

pertussis vaccination program is clearly

a bankrupt program that needs to be

replaced with a managed-care program that

promotes optimum levels of the following

key immune-system-involved vitamins, A,

the Bs, C, D-3, and K-2, which, when

optimal, seem to limit " whooping cough "

infections to mild cases from which

children recover and have near lifetime

immunity.

For more on the increase in the disease

" B. parapertussis " as well as probable

increases in disease strains that are not

covered by the vaccine (for which there

is no vaccine), which are reasons why

more vaccines and vaccinations are not

helping the problem, this reviewer

recommends a layperson's discussion of

these realities, such as " Whooping Cough

Outbreaks & Vaccine Failures " written by

Barbara Loe Fisher, parent of a DTP-

damaged child, at:

http://vaccineawakening.blogspot.com/2010/07/whooping-cough-outbreaks-vaccin

e_15.html.

The other reason for vaccination failure,

which is usually swept under the rug, is

that the pertussis component is not a

vaccine against the B. pertussis bacteria

but rather certain specific toxins that

the basis strain used in vaccine

manufacture produces.

In the case of pertussis, this reality

has the unwanted " side effect " that it

actually converts some of those who are

vaccinated into " silent " pertussis

carriers who harbor pertussis in their

lungs for extended periods.

Finally, the neurodevelopmental harm and

death caused by/attributable to even the

acellular pertussis components in the

DTaP and Tdap vaccines cries out for the

removal of this vaccine from the current

FDA-approved no-Thimerosal DTaP and Tdap

vaccines by converting these formulas

into the corresponding single-dose, non-

adjuvanted DT and Td vaccine formula-

tions.

These actions would appropriately safen

these vaccines and eliminate one of the

major vaccine-injury sources - in keeping

with the a much-ignored mandate to make

vaccines safer in the National Vaccine

Injury Compensation Program as set forth

in 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-27(a)(2) since 1987.

" CDPH is recommending booster shots

against whooping cough for anyone

seven years and older who is not fully

immunized; women of childbearing age,

before, during, or immediately after

pregnancy; and people who have contact

with pregnant women or infants less

than one year of age. It is also

recommended that preteens 11 and 12

years of age receive a booster. ... " .

Clearly, the addition of more and more

vaccinations over the years from a

program that initially consisted of 3

doses of a DTP vaccine to one that added

a fourth dose, then a fifth dose, and, in

2005, a sixth dose with recommendations

for additional doses in specific groups

and then every 10 years in adults points

to a vaccination program that has failed;

or is not cost effective at 6 doses even

if it were at 5 doses (because the Tdap

vaccines are much more expensive that the

DTaP vaccines); and/or probably became

cost-ineffective when the fourth or fifth

dose was added to the vaccination

schedule.

For those who wish to see just how inef-

fective the pertussis vaccination program

is, all you need do is compare its

" effectiveness " with the other two

bacterial " toxoids " vaccine components

given with it, Diphtheria, a highly

contagious disease, and Tetanus, where

the vaccine components are also toxoids

(Diphtheria toxoid and Tetanus toxoid).

The " reported cases " data[2] for the USA

Hopefully, the reader will understand

that repeated inoculations of the

pertussis component of the DTaP/Tdap

vaccines is not cost-effective and demand

that:

· The number of inoculations be reduced

to the cost-effective set or, better,

· The pertussis component be removed

and an alternative early-identifi-

cation and/or holistic-treatment pro-

gram replace the use of a vaccine

component to suppress the incidence

of both B. pertussis and/or increa-

singly B. parapertussis, which the

current vaccines do not even cover.

Obviously, based on the data, increasing

the number of inoculations of a DTP/DTaP/

Tdap vaccine has not reduced the

" pertussis " disease incidence rate to the

< 100 cases/year level of tetanus (< 1 in

3,000,000) or < 10 cases/year (<1 in

30,000,000) for diphtheria, but, in the

current vaccination programs, the current

" expected " level of annual cases of

" pertussis - including parapertussis and

related diseases misdiagnosed as

pertussis " in the USA appears to be in

the low 10s of thousands but less than

26,000 in a population of 300,000,000 for

an overall incidence rate of < 1 in

11,500.

Moreover, based on the data, there is

absolutely no " cost-effectiveness " justi-

fication for the 2006 decision to add

Tdap vaccine for 11 - 12 year-olds to the

current CDC list of recommended vaccina-

tions and certainly no justification,

other than profit to the vaccine's

makers, for recommending that the Tdap

vaccine be used in an " every 10 years "

booster program.

Reviewer's Concluding Remarks

Hopefully, after reviewing the facts, the

American public will wake up and demand

that only those vaccination programs that

provide effective long-term protection to

most of those vaccinated should be con-

sidered for mass vaccination recommenda-

tions and only those that are truly cost-

effective when all of the costs,

including those associated with all

serious adverse reactions are considered

should be recommended for mass use.

Otherwise, public healthcare dollars will

continue to be wasted in ever-expanding

ineffective vaccination programs to the

detriment of the public's physical and

fiscal health - in order to fatten the

coffers of the pharmaceutical, health-

care, health provider and federal and

state public health segments of the

Establishment.

If this pernicious evil is not stopped,

the percentage of our children and

ourselves who have one or more lifelong

chronic medical conditions will continue

to increase beyond the 25-plus percentage

(> 1 in 4) currently being reported for

our children.

About This Reviewer

In addition to the information available

on his web page, ,

this reviewer, G. King is the

Science Advisor and current Secretary for

the current District 33 Democratic

Committeeman for Township of Parsippany-

Troy Hills, County, NJ, a some-

time poet, Taoist philosopher and servant

of Elohim through Jesus Christ.

As a scientist and student of the federal

regulations and statutes that govern

drugs, including vaccines, Dr. King has

led CoMeD, on two (2) separate occasions,

in the drafting and the submission of a

" Citizen Petition " seeking to have the

federal government comply with the law,

and, based on the improper denial of the

Citizen Petition submitted, a federal

lawsuit seeking to have the Federal

District Court for the District of

Columbia compel the Secretary of the

Department of Health and Human Services

and the Commissioner of the FDA to comply

with the statutes and regulations

regulating their lawful conduct. The

second civil suit, 1:2009-cv-00015, is

federal regulations that are not in the

public interest or appear to be at odds

with the law, reviewed numerous

documents, and written several articles

on a variety of vaccine-related issues -

including a formal request for correction

of false and misleading statements by the

FDA under the applicable Data

/Information Quality regulations.

Finally, Dr. King has: a) provided

various groups with his analysis of

various other Congressional bills,

resolutions, and treaty documents and

been an author of several papers bearing

on issues related to the toxicity of

Thimerosal and other compounds and, if

any, their connection to neuro-

developmental abnormalities.

END OF ROUGH TEXT

_______________________________________________

Hopefully, after reading the attached reviews

or, if you do not receive them as attachments,

downloading the file from this reviewer's web

site:

you will both understand and and accept that

there is no " whooping cough epidemic " -- only

a minor outbreak mostly in California where

most of those who are being diagnosed with

a clinical case have been multiply vaccinated

against contracting this disease -- obviously

to no avail. Moreover, you will understand,

based on the much better disease control for

the similarly contagious disease diphtheria,

the " D " or " d " component of the tripple-disease

protective vaccines (DTP/DTaP/Tdap) that are

claimed to protect those inoculated with them

from contracting diphtheria, tetanus and

" whooping cough " (pertussis), the pertussis

components are NOT effective in preventing the

spread of pertussis.

Respectfully,

G. King, PhD
