No thought allowed - We're the health department!
Every once in a while, I get a call from someone who makes me realise that when it comes to critical thinking, many within the mainstream medical community are missing whatever area of the brain that particular ability resides in.
I just got off the phone with a parent who has 4 children - 2 of whom are close to 30 and the other 2 are 10 years old and in their late teens.
She got a call from the mother of her 10 year old's best friend who has been home sick for over a week now. Turns out that this child has just had whooping cough confirmed by their doctor. This is the third child in that class to be diagnosed with whooping cough and guess what? All three of them are fully vaccinated. What a surprise - NOT!
The reason for the phone call was because the health department had just called the mother of this 10-year-old with whooping cough to let her know that the doctor had informed them of the diagnosis. When the she said, but my child is vaccinated, why did she get the disease? The response was - this is a new strain of whooping cough that is being spread by the unvaccinated to the vaccinated! Think about that for a minute...go ahead, take your time. Does it make any sense to you? If you said no, then you and I are on the same page. If you said yes...as Pauline Hansen would have said - Please explain!
The reason the mother of the child with whooping cough called the mother of the healthy unvaccinated child was to berate her for allowing her child to spread whooping cough in the class. That was obviously the intention of the health department in spreading that fairy story about the supposedly protected being infected by the healthy unvaccinated. Let's face it - if you'd been pushing a preventative for over 60 years that so obviously fails to protect, you'd want to blame someone else too, right? But wait, it gets better!
The unvaccinated child had a blood test last week and even though they have never had any symptoms of whooping cough nor were they ever vaccinated against this or anything else, the tests came back positive for antibodies but negative for current infection. So just being exposed to the disease in the normal way allowed this child to develop something the fully vaccinated kids seem to have missed out on - immunity to whooping cough.
Kinda makes you think, eh?
