According to Phil Plait, Jenny McCarthy asked a question on Twitter:What is the most important personality trait you look for in a mate? Reply using #JennyAsks The Internet provided some awesome answers. For an example:“Someone who respects that science isn’t on some secret malicious crusade to screw us over and that vaccinations save lives” —@ScallywagSprint

Good to hear so many stepped up to the plate. I bet she doesn't think she has any part or influence with this.
Pertussis Outbreak Trends
During 2012, 48,277 cases of pertussis were reported to CDC. The incidence rate of pertussis among infants exceeds that of all other age groups. The second highest rates of disease are observed among children 7 through 10 years old. Rates also increased in adolescents 13 and 14 years of age. 20 pertussis-related deaths during 2012 have been reported to CDC. The majority of deaths occurred among infants younger than 3 months of age. |
Nice going Jenny but lets not forget Oprah's help with the increase of the cases we see.
Vaccine Refusal Contributes to Whooping Cough Outbreaks
By Rachael Rettner, Senior writer | September 30, 2013
Refusing vaccines for non-medical reasons contributes to outbreaks of whooping cough, a new study finds.
The 2010 whooping cough outbreak in California may have been fueled, at least in part, by clusters of parents who refused to vaccinate their children, a new study suggests.
Researchers analyzed local rates of children entering kindergarten with "non-medical" vaccine exemptions, meaning parents or guardians applied for an exemption from school policies requiring vaccines due to personal beliefs, rather than for medical reasons. They compared these rates with rates of whooping cough in 2010, the year the state experienced a whooping cough outbreak that caused 9,120 cases and 10 deaths from the disease.
The researchers identified 39 areas, or clusters, with high rates of non-medical exemptions, as well as two large clusters of whooping cough (also called pertussis) cases.
More cases of pertussis occurred within the exemption clusters than outside of the clusters, the study found. |
So it appears to show that individual parents not vaccinating their own children does affect those beyond the family unit. |
