🤔How come?

💉Access to immunization programs grew globally.

🧐Is it all good news?

☹️Nope, there are still parts of the world that need stronger routine immunization and access to care like Sub-Saharan Africa, which accounted for roughly 65% of estimated pertussis deaths in 2023.

When I was a kid parents didn’t hesitate. They knew how horrible diseases like polio, influenza, measles, and pertussis could be.
Children in my cohort were still dying of them.

I'm so sorry. I never had HG, but I did get Pertussis during the 2012 outbreak in the Upper Midwest.

8 weeks of standing in a tub when a spasm hit, because incontinence while simultaneously coughing/whooping and retching is how a "mild" case goes.

Wishing you ginger ale & a plain digestive.

I can’t even imagine what it’s like for people with egg allergies, celiacs, etc. to access the meds they need when they’re not the commonly used ones. I am specifically allergic to the pertussis vaccine and this was so much work!

AND ruining food security AND letting measles & pertussis surge AND letting Elon Musk gut Federal Service AND letting the FEMA head say states need to fend for themselves...

(It's just an exhaustively long list.)

I fucking hate it man. My mom is fighting cancer (successfully!) but people are like "hahaha I have 32 COVID symptoms, must be my allergies :^)" so I have to like, keep track of the last time i was coughed on so I can visit her.

We are a world run by clowns. Clowns with pertussis.
