FDA clears vaccine to prevent whooping cough in newborns by giving shot to mother during pregnancy
Interesting timing.
Yeah, it is, isn’t it? I am completely fed up with many people not listening to what I tell them. If people are not willing to listen and then act on what they are told that is the truth, they deserve what they get.
I worked at a 3rd party insurance administrator and the head of our department was out sick for a day and then came back to the office.
She then had an “all hands” staff meeting held in her rather small office with most of us, about 20, standing close together and close to her, crowded around her desk.
She was coughing up a storm, short of breath, red faced and feverish, copious amounts of sweat pouring off her, obviously still very sick.
She told us she had Whooping Cough, but it was OK because her “doctor”, a Homeopath, told her to take various vitamins and do a colon cleanse to rid her of the harmful stuff. (I am not kidding). She also proudly stated she was against all vaccines.
One of my co-workers had just returned from maternity leave and had an infant at home and was really pissed as pertussis can be fatal to infants. She left the meeting in disgust.
The next day this manger was out of the office again. This time because her teenage daughter who lived with her and had recently given birth to an out of wedlock baby, the newborn infant was in the pediatric ICU with pertussis.
Fortunately, the baby survived and came home a week later, and my co-worker’s baby didn’t get sick probably thanks to her mother having been vaccinated.
Stupid is as stupid does.
