Reminder that the pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine only protects you for 4-5 years. If you’re around very young children or people who are immunocompromised, get boosters every 5 years.

The U.S. is on track to have the worst whooping cough outbreak since 1948. Some regions are reporting that they are struggling to do contact tracing of cases because they are ALSO managing measles investigations. And, of course, funding cuts to public health have resulted in fewer resources.

Reminder that these people are at home instead of living in nursing facilities, usually paid for by Medicaid. RFKJ and Musk are throwing these folks out of their homes and then cutting off the funding for nursing homes. This is going to be a disaster for boomers and their families.
