I'll just shift it to the right forum. This is a complicated board, and it takes a while to "get" the set up here. Have a look at the front page, and the catagories. People can post what they want anywhere, but I might "file" it under everything else in the same catagory...

Well, that's interesting in that we were just talking about the mutation of the virus here on BV. I'm guessing it's a matter of time before the news starts saying it isn't Pertussis, but the other one, unless they keep saying it's Pertussis to keep pushing the vax.

"They" mostly don't mention that influenza is mostly influenza like illness, so why should they admit that whooping cough is mostly not whooping cough?

Only when a vaccine is produced for parapertussis will the illness be acknowledged.
