Whooping cough is not a trivial disease.
My son got it when he was around 15teen (Apparently the vaccine does not work 100%!).
It takes about 8 weeks to heal, the cough is pretty strong and each cough attack is followed by vomiting.
It really takes tool on every person who gets it, and it is deadly for infants!
Before vaccination, it was one of those “pass for adulthood” diseases. Very contagious, but luckily, most people are vaccinated, so it has hard for it to spread!

I once came across a pediatricians discussion forum, wish I could find the page…anyway some were willing to distinguish which shots on the vaccine list were absolute life or death musts, and which were less so.

Apparently the vaccine does not work 100% None are. Hence why it is important for everyone who can be vaccinated do so...this eliminates hosts for it to spread to.
This kind of stuff making a comeback is a combination of anti-vaxx militants and the uncontrolled borders.

I had whooping cough around age 10 in India. My mother was amazing with natural remedies. She made me drink soup made from some special grass. I still remember the bad taste. But the whooping cough was gone quickly.

Not vaccinated but I've had it so natural immunity. Which is better.

I was vaccinated for it as a kid, but decades later I caught it when traveling. I coughed so hard that I knew it was something serious. So, I looked up the symptoms later, and it had to be that. I was never feverish, nor sick in bed, but I coughed so hard I gagged. It was intermittent over a few weeks. Get the booster. This is a nasty thing to catch.
