California - Study: Whooping cough outbreak linked to vaccinated children

"After examining the records of juvenile whooping cough patients over an 8-month period, the doctors discovered that 81 percent of patients had received the full series of whooping cough shots, and 11 percent had received only some of the shots. The remaining 8 percent had not received any immunizations for whooping cough.
"What was very surprising was the majority of cases were in fully vaccinated children," Witt said. "That's what started catching our attention.
AND LOOK AT THIS "Unfortunately, drug maker Glaxo Smith Kline (GSK), the manufacturer of the whooping cough vaccine, did not bother to perform long-term studies of its effectiveness. A company spokesperson confirmed this disturbing fact in an email to Reuters, stating that GSK never studied the duration of the vaccine's protection after the shot was given to four- to six-year-olds"

AND
"Revelations like these should be a reminder to parents to do as much research as possible and weigh the risks and benefits before allowing their children to receive vaccines. "
