In California Ourbreak Unvaccinated Do NOT have Whooping Cough but Vaccinated Do
Note: So, in this California Whoopsieing Daisy Cough outbreak, the small number of unvaccinated children do NOT have the w hooping cough. but 30 vaccinated students do. Ergo, the unvaccinated children are healthier. Meanwhile, the unvaccinated face expulsion based on their school year thanks to SB277.

Officials at a Los Angeles high school said Tuesday that a lack of vaccinations does not explain an outbreak of whooping cough.
“We have a really high vaccination rate in our community, which is something we’re very grateful for,” Harvard-Westlake spokesperson Ari Engelberg said, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Thirty students at the private school have reportedly been diagnosed with whooping cough, also known as pertussis, recently.
Engelberg also told reporters that only 18 of Harvard-Westlake's roughly 1,600 students have medical exemptions allowing them to opt out of immunizations. He added that none of those students have contracted the disease.
Los Angeles County officials warned area doctors in an email last week about three clusters in the county, according to the Times. Read more at THE HILL.com.

Our direction should be rapid detection and treatment of pertussis for example. Individualized medicine. We can find a direction that still makes pharma rich but we need to shift the frame.

Does anyone know what happens to the infants of mothers primed by aP vaccines? Are they guaranteed to be susceptible to whooping cough when most vulnerable now?

I think the pool is very large and the vast majority are vaxxed. Unvaxxed non-immune people have no particular protection against pertussis, but as Natalie said, it's only dangerous in the first three months of life. Except for some immunocompromised people, who can die of pertussis if they get it. Look at this study: http://cid.oxfordjournals.org/content/54/12/1730
The DTaP vaccine was only 41% effective in protecting toddlers and preschoolers from getting pertussis, and only 24% effective in protecting elementary school children. While still being very dangerous, causing SIDS, asthma, seizure disorders, etc. My 8-month old baby got pertussis at a La Leche League meeting after having gotten three DTaPs, and gave it to me.
I also would use Suzanne Humphries' vitamin C protocol to treat it if I were caring for a baby with the disease. I would also shelter the baby at home during the first critical months. Breastfeeding offers no protection, but I think that's because original antigenic sin means that if you've ever gotten the vaccine, you can never get immunity to pertussis, because the vaccine programs your immune system hard drive defectively. I think probably a woman who had never gotten a pertussis vaccine, but had gotten natural pertussis, could give her nursing infant protection from pertussis, etc.
So the best thing to do is shelter young babies at home, not put them in daycare, think about it before letting them be in a group of children (maybe adults too), and never get anyone the pertussis vaccine. Use the nosode if it seems like a good idea. And then just get pertussis, preferably at an age older than infancy. My daughter coughed ten coughs per breath for over a month, I for over two months. The coughs were horrible: she would cough up vast sheets of clear, slippery mucus which I'd wipe away with a cloth diaper. I didn't, but my chest would start tingling from lack of oxygen by the end of the coughing fits, which were very scary and uncomfortable. She felt fine between coughing fits, I felt rundown and very tired. But then we got well. The moral to what I did is that you shouldn't take nursing infants with you to La Leche League meetings, even though there are many women who do. It didn't even cross my mind that it might be dangerous for her. And then I thought for a long time that she must have gotten it from an unvaxxed child, but now I realize that the vaccine doesn't prevent transmission anyway, so it could have been from either a vaxxed or unvaxxed child.

They'll use the ineffectiveness of Dtap to push for getting back the horrible DTP.
If my son catches whooping cough I'm going to follow the Vitamin C protocol (Dr. Susan Humphries). In fact, I hope he will catch in the early childhood because it reduces the incidence of asthma. It's only dangerous in the first three months of life and otherwise it's benign, if unpleasant, experience.

More than 94 percent of kindergarten children have had four to five whooping cough (pertussis), vaccines, but despite this high coverage, whooping cough cases continue to break out and rise in number across the country. Infant deaths associated with pertussis infection are currently at a 70-year high, despite the fact that uptake of pertussis vaccines is higher than ever. Vaccine refusal was one hypothesis considered as a cause behind the resurgence of whooping cough that was ultimately discounted by the study’s authors. They agreed that the reemergence cannot be blamed on parents who opt not to vaccinate their children. Vaccine failure has been implicated. https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2017/10/10/pertussis-vaccine-whooping-cough-reemergence.aspx
A new 2019 study: In the last 13 years, major pertussis epidemics have occurred in the United States, and numerous studies have shown the deficiencies of DTaP vaccines, including the small number of antigens that the vaccines contain and the type of cellular immune response that they elicit. The type of cellular response a predominantly, T2 response results in less efficacy and shorter duration of protection. Because of the small number of antigens (3–5 in DTaP vaccines vs >3000 in DTwP vaccines), linked-epitope suppression occurs. Because of linked-epitope suppression, all children who were primed by DTaP vaccines will be more susceptible to pertussis throughout their lifetimes, and there is no easy way to decrease this increased lifetime susceptibility. https://academic.oup.com/jpids/advance-article-abstract/doi/10.1093/jpids/piz005/5359449

Can't wait to hear explanation by Pan on why the UNVACCINATED avoided whooping cough while VACCINATED got the disease? Wonder how many of those parents of children with compromised immune systems feel about having their compromised child attend a school of fully vaccinated children who have proven to be susceptible to .. and .. capable of spreading whooping cough to their child?
Does anyone know if Pan has been asked to explain why VACCINATED CHILDREN APPEAR TO THREATEN THE HEALTH OF IMMUNE COMPROMISED CHILDREN?
