I was immunized against it as an infant and came down with it anyway. Missed 20 days of school in the first grade. It happens.
Yep, he's pooping on the board.
Phil phil phil, get your snide comments in now, I don't think you're long for the board.
BTW - tell Dr. Dean to keep up the good work, he's really energizing the base. Our base, lol!
What are the symptoms of adult pertussis? Something like a tracheal infection with resultant infrequent but persistent cough?
Live one.
Did they abandon the DPT shots??
I probably need to see to another booster for my 14 yr old, though I get very concerned about vacinnations for girls in this stage of development.
Nonsense, DPT virtually eradicated whooping cough, it is resurfacing because of infected people mixing with unvaccinated members of close contact organizations.
My wife had whooping cough last summer. It was a nationwide epidemic then.
Clearly our politicians' getting re-elected and retaining the Hispanic vote is more important than your whiny concerns about your health. /sarcasm

i dont know,
i hate , loathe , and despise the self propoganding m. savage
but going home from work early one morning he had some guests on with some modicome (sp) of medical field and they claim that in the last 5 years leprosy cases in the U.S. has gone from about 5 a year to 500 a year due to immigration.
now i aint into panicing but it did raise an eyebrow.
"Illegal aliens are bringing in diseases that had been almost eradicated in America long ago. Is our government not paying attention? Is illegal immigration more important than the health of American children? Apparently so."
Also, cases of Leprosy have quadrupled in the last couple of years. Sorry, I don't have the cite. Refer to the Center for ? in Atlanta.
The government is NOT DOING ITS CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY!
(Grumble: Flippiing Fed govt. wasting money on the UN and forgiving corrupt nations' debts...the IRS doesn't forgive American citizens' debts.")
I think so also. Although we could almost qualify politically for the liberal capital of the country!
And, I hate, loathe, and despise it when folks like you cannot even properly punctuate a sentence and follow simple grade school grammar rules - yet put down men like Savage who are on the ramparts of the culture war. I suggest you listen to the guy for awhile instead of putting him down. You may learn something.
"Nobody by that name."
LOL
You forgot leprosy. Cases of that are now on the rise here too.
here's a hint...
take a flying, well you know what i mean
so like wow dude is M.S. your long lost dad or what.
I think I had this about 3 years ago, and in my sixties, it was no joke at all. I had been immunized in my youth, but I was supposed to be past the point where I needed to worry about it. My doctor would not diagnose pertussis, but I NEVER had such a violent, uncontrollable cough of such long duration, even with pneumonia several years earlier.
He put me on two separate prednisone dose-paks, Humbid, and even Codeine, but nothing really controlled it until it finally cleared up in about 7-8 weeks.
