An infant has died from whooping cough in Kentucky, the third such instance in the past 12 months, state health officials said Monday.
The infant and their mother were not vaccinated against the illness, officials from the Kentucky Department for Public Health (KDPH) noted in a release.
In June, KDPH officials said two infants in the state had died from the disease, also known as pertussis, in the prior six months, the first such instances in Kentucky since 2018. The infants and their mothers were not vaccinated against the disease.
As of Nov. 19, health officials have confirmed 566 cases of whooping cough in Kentucky this year, with babies younger than 1 at the greatest risk. Last year, there were 543 such cases in the state, the highest amount since 2012.
Dr. Steven Stack, the secretary of Kentucky’s Cabinet for Health and Family Services, said in the Monday release he is “concerned” by the volume of whooping cough cases throughout the state.
“We continue to urge Kentuckians to get their whooping cough vaccine and to make sure they are up to date on all other recommended immunizations,” Stack added. “Many illnesses can be prevented through vaccination, which helps protect not only the individual but also those around them.”
The Hill has reached out to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for comment.
State health officials noted that the most effective way to prevent the disease is by receiving the Tdap or DTaP vaccine, which protect against diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis. Infants can receive the DTaP vaccine beginning at 2 months old, while the Tdap shot is recommended for women during pregnancy to protect their baby.
Infants should be immunized again at 4 months, 6 months, and 12 to 15 months. Children should be vaccinated before starting kindergarten and between the ages of 11 and 12 years old, while teens and adults should be immunized at least every 10 years — or sooner, due to an injury or to protect a newborn.
However, as of the 2024-25 school year, 86 percent of kindergartners and 85 percent of seventh graders are up to date on their whooping cough vaccines, despite immunization being required for Kentucky school children.
Early symptoms of whooping cough, which spreads from person to person, typically include a runny or stuffy nose, low-grade fever and a mild, occasional cough, according to the CDC.
More than 2 in 3 babies younger than a year old who are treated for whooping cough in the hospital experience apnea, or life-threatening pauses in breathing. More than 1 in 5 experience pneumonia, 1 in 50 experience convulsions and 1 in 150 experience encephalopathy, a group of brain diseases, the CDC reports.
“Not vaccinated but I’ve had it so natural immunity. Which is better.”
It is better not to ever have whooping cough. Most sane people would choose a vaccine over getting whooping cough and natural immunity, even if natural immunity is slightly stonger.

“The Most Damning Of All Evidence Is That The DTaP Vaccine Will Kill You 30X More Than The Disease Itself.”
Dr Paul Thomas, MD
“Whooping Cough Vaccine Primes Your Body To Contract Pertussis Multiple Times, Over & Over, For Life.”
Safety Tested For Only 14 Days With No Placebo.
Pertussis (Whooping Cough) Vaccine is part of the multi vaccination of TDaP &/or DTaP. The Placebos used to ‘safety test’ the Pertussis vaccine were the Tetanus & Diphtheria vaccines. Tested for only 14 days before US FDA & CDC approval.
Warnings:
The vaccine does not stop transmission or infection. Whooping cough outbreaks occur within the vaccinated because natural contraction of whooping cough provides lifelong immunity.
The risk of a serious adverse event after vaccination is 1 in 25, including SIDS Apnea:
SIDS is now being called ‘Aluminum Adjuvant Apnea.’ Aluminum Adjuvants cause apnea, affecting & stopping the breathing center of the brain. The infant, without warning, will stop breathing & the death will be classified as SIDS.
Stated in chapter 21 of the CDC Website for Tetanus...the Tetanus Toxoid-containing Vaccine has never been safety tested nor studied in a vaccine trial.
Tetanus Toxoid causes both Brachial Neuritis & Guillain Barré Syndrome. Brachial Neuritis causes paralysis of the shoulder/arm & Guillain Barre’ Syndrome causes paralysis of the entire body & carries the same symptoms as polio.
How The 3 Components Are Grown & Cultured:
Tetanus: C. Tetani Toxoid is grown in heated & putrefied Beef Heart Infusion, known as BHI. The tetanus toxin is treated with formaldehyde to inactivate its pathogenic properties. But some toxoid preparations can still contain undesirable contaminants, which puts you at risk for contracting Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy also known as Mad Cow Disease.
Diphtheria: C. Diphtheriae grown on fetal bovine serum then treated with Formaldehyde.
Pertussis: B. Pertussis bacteria grown on dairy casein fermentation broth then treated with glutaraldehyde & formaldehyde.
Warning To Those With Dairy & Latex Allergies: Those with milk & latex allergies are not given informed consent as to the milk casein & latex used in the production of TDaP & DTaP Vaccines. Many cases of fatal anaphylaxis are caused by this.
Ingredients Of DTaP & TDaP Vaccines:
Tetanus Toxoid

Sad truth is that far more than just the CDC were involved in this conspiracy, and yes it was a conspiracy. It served a dual purpose, the profit off of the mRNA vaccines that were anything but a vaccine, and to assist in the theft of the 2020election to change how electiosn wereheld outside of the legislatures and into to the courts. Both political parties were completely onboard within the Uni-party factions of both political parties.
That means there is a 1:604,822 chance of any random baby dying with pertussis.
___________________
Yes, because almost everybody is vaccinated.
series of five doses is recommended, starting at 6 weeks of age, with the final dose given between 4 and 6 years of age.
So the children are mostly vaccinated and everybody around them is also vaccinated.
Before the pertussis vaccine was widely available in the 1940s, an estimated 9,000 children died annually in the U.S. and worldwide, there were about 160,700 deaths annually in children under 5. Pertussis was a major cause of childhood mortality in the pre-vaccine era.
In 1925 there were less then 3 million children born. So about 0.3% children died from pertussis. That’s significant, especially that there were all the other contagious diseases around.
My mother remembered school friends who died of diphtheria and others from tetanus. I remember bunch of Polio survivors, in wheelchairs or crutches.
This thread is not about Fakie or COVID. Don’t be a Richard.
It’s about vaccines in all categories. How many have they killed or maimed for life with them? Have you researched what’s in jabs? Check out the links below & decide what you would like injected into your children.
By the way, the Covid jabs murdered my SIL who died in March after 3 Pfizers and a good friend who was a Radiation Oncologist who had to get 2 Modernas to keep his job. He was diagnosed with turbo cancer (brain, lung, liver) on December 18, 2024, and died on May 4, 2025. He told me that the jabs killed him.

How many babies died from the whooping cough vaxx?
______________________________
I don’t think babies GET the whooping cough vax.
This is why adults should get this vax. The baby can’t protect its self.
So true. All vaccines are not equal. The old tried and true vaccines actually immunize you against the disease and don’t kill you.
I had whooping cough at 6 months of age. I think back then they didn’t give it to infants. I was really sick so the doctor told my Mom to bring me in everyday and he would give me a tiny dose of the vaccine. So everyday for like two weeks my Mom pushed me down the street in the baby buggy and I got a small dose. It worked and I finally got over it after about 6 weeks.
I’d like to know if they were immigrants.
Before the DPT vaccine, there were, just in the USA alone, 13,000 yearly deaths from diphtheria, 9,000 yearly deaths from Pertussis and 550 deaths from tetanus.
Now, 0 deaths from diphtheria, 6 from pertussis and 30 from tetanus!
Vaccination works!
Tetanus was reduced the least, since it is NOT contagious, bacteria from soil enters humans by infected wounds.
So vaccination does not help with the spread of the disease, just protects each individual.
You anti-vaxxers, be aware of tetanus!
Conversely, the CDC exposed that vaccines are not to be trusted.
If the manufacturers have no liability, people shouldn't be taking them.
Well put.
If they didn’t get the Whooping cough vaccine it’s highly unlikely that they got the one for Covid.

Be very careful.
The tried and true vaxxes are being replaced with new ones.
Ask before you receive.
Case in point...
https://www.fda.gov/vaccines-blood-biologics/vaccines/vaccines-licensed-use-united-states
Scroll down to the vaxxes that include pertussis.
Then take a good look at what’s now available.
Choose wisely.
Thanks for bringing this up.
We as youngsters in the 60’s
were required to recieve
these vaccines before being
allowed to attend school.
It’s the invaders from
a multitude of 3rd world
countries (allowed in) that
have given once controlled
diseases to once again rear
their respective ugly heads.
