Regard most things that you read on the internet with scepticism. e.g. tonight I can write any falsehood I like into Wikipedia and it will remain there for days or even longer, perhaps become another urban myth. Try it!

I have got my info from lots of Sources ( including , austalian Bureau of statistics, world health organisation etc etc).

Immunised people who have had the full course of a particular vaccine and who have developed an immunity, can not pass on that specific disease.

This is bit of a miss conception. both sides of the fence will quickly correct you on this.


Anyone who suggests that pertussis vaccine is more dangerous than pertussis (Whooping cough) in an infant or small child, has neither seen or directly cared for a small child with whooping cough nor understands what they are talking about.

Any way I wasnt here to say people shouldnt vaccinate etc etc or bombard you with all the info i have found only saying we need more education on it.

Blaming parents who dont vax ( which I have been guilty of) is so far wrong its not funny, if we had 100% vaccination rates for whooping cough the cold hard fact is we would still have whooping cough. sad but true.

I've been doing that for 5 weeks, 3 lots of Antibiotics ( but they don't work against a virus any way) They scarey bit is when your airway closes up and you are gasping to get air.
Interesting though that they go the nasal route for the test.... what the virus only hides up in the upper extremities of the nose and doesn't venture down so the can take a nostril swab?
