Vaccinations urged amid spread of whooping cough on Hawaii Island

The state has confirmed an additional case of pertussis — or whooping cough — on Hawaii Island amid an outbreak that has so far sickened 11 since March.

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - The state has confirmed an additional case of pertussis — or whooping cough — on Hawaii Island amid an outbreak that has so far sickened 11 since March.

Several of the recent cases have been in infants too young to be fully vaccinated.

Officials said the cases indicate “community spread” of pertussis on Hawaii Island.

Because of that, the state Health Department is strongly recommending that parents stay up to date on children’s vaccinations, especially for infants and young children.

Pertussis vaccination can usually be obtained from a primary care provider. Calling ahead to confirm pertussis vaccine availability is recommended. Those who do not have a primary care provider can contact their health plan or can contact a federally qualified health center if they do not have health insurance.

Pertussis is a highly contagious respiratory infection caused by bacteria.

It can cause severe coughing fits, followed by a high-pitched “whoop” sound when breathing in.

Vomiting and exhaustion may also follow. Pertussis can lead to serious complications, especially in infants.

For more information about pertussis, visit the CDC website.

The elites need to distance themselves from the deplorables and need to free up some prime real-estate.

Vaccinations that have gone through full clinical trials and have EVERY adverse event tracked and published are acceptable compared to unchecked disease.

Hawaii has some interesting property rights laws that favor legacy ownership. It makes it hard to "push out" locals of little or modest means.

So you burn them out. Many have no or insufficient property insurance. "The problem with Hawaii is that it's full of Hawaiians" (which is a loose affiliation at best) Very 60's hippie kinda locals.

My son had seizures at 6 months shortly after his dPT shot. The doctor advised against getting any more because there had been other cases of seizures associated with them. There are going to be exceptions to every vaccination and it’s not always the parents’ fault.

Zuckerberg reportedly used a hundred lawyers to oust Hawaiians from their land on the island of Kauai to build his vast oceanfront estate.

When congress stops insider trading on war and misery, it will stop. Surprisingly even MAGA darlin MTG was taking it in. Get this… they just have to self report. The dollars created m Ukraine alone.. millions.
Republicans are funding everything for their bank accounts and their family.
Biden we expect to be absolutely can’t truly. The Republican names exposed should tick you off. Hint: who went to mar a lago before the last Ukrainian billions package. And who cares s utterly unwilling to shut doors a the government. Who is willing to loan them billions and state publically they probably won’t pay it back.
Why did the republicans run a kabuki theater burisma “investigation”
It’s a joke. They are funding bidens open border, his doj/ fbi gulag.
Trump is calling Obamacare ACA… if you have forgotten the Republican betrayal on that, you are complicit

 Note that Fauci said going forward all vaccines would be based on the mRNA platform because it was so 'successful'. Note also the Bivalent Covid 'vaccine' was tested on 6 mice before being released to the public because the prior 'vaccine' experimented on such a large population and dwas considered 'tested'.

PS: No vaccine has ‘every’ adverse reaction tracked. A study on VAERS demonstrated that about 1% of all actual adverse reactions is reported to the CDC for the CDC to publish in VAERS. During COvid, that number fell because medical staff were punished for reporting to VAERS, and these days, many doctors have never heard of VAERS.

By saying “Hawaii Island”, they mean the ‘Big Island’. However, breathing problems there are usually associated with very fine volcanic dust and volcanic gases.

Pertussis is a uniquely human disease. No animal or insect source or vector is known to exist. Adolescents, adults, and older school-age children are an important reservoir for B. pertussis and are often the source of infection for infants.
