A few years back there was an outbreak of Whooping Cough in Washington state. The government and media’s reaction was to deny where it came from even though the answer was clear as daylight.
Yep.
I have a friend that is a physical therapist - she contracted Whooping Cough from one of her patients.
She told me she broke three ribs from coughing so much and was never so miserable in her life - cough medicine doesn’t touch Whooping Cough.
We’ve had a number of cases in California in recent years, I was exposed in the classroom to it - Thank God I didn’t get it, it is highly contagious. Any new enrollee in the school had to show proof of Whooping Cough vaccination or they were not admitted.
