You can’t read a newspaper without learning about the vaccine controversy. On one hand, “the benefits outweigh the risks.” On the other, “a single jab stole the life from little Johnny in a matter of two days.” What’s going on, “Should I let the doctor stab my kid with the needle or is he better off skipping that “checkup?” This is the question my wife and I had with our daughter regarding the DTaP vaccine. Working as a chemist within the halls of Big Pharma, I learned some shocking revelations.
The pertussis vaccine, administered via the DTP or DTaP vaccine, does in fact increase antibodies to pertussis (Bordetella). Yet, immunity is short lived. The Journal of the American Medical Association, showed that immunity declines by 50% between 1 month and 1 year after vaccination. After this period, the response is weakened or non-existent. Natural exposure to pertussis increases antibodies too, but better and usually for life. This explains is why during outbreaks, the majority of those who suffer from pertussis are the same ones who got stabbed with the so-called vaccine.
Still, many health professionals advocate the use of the vaccine by asserting that the decline in pertussis over the last 100 years is attributed to the pertussis vaccination. This is false. Pertussis rates plummeted by 79% between 1900-1935. The pertussis vaccine was not introduced until 1940. A math lesson is helpful here.

Because the pertussis vaccine provides little benefit, does it make sense to expose children to the negative side effects associated with it? In a presentation to the Institute of Medicine, published in 1990, the public was informed of the following dangers:

- babies die at a rate 7 times greater than normal within 3 days of receiving the shot

- side effects include asthma and other auto-immune disorders

- encephalitis, leading to permanent behavioral changes such as lack of focus and poor problem solving skills can result as well.
You don’t have to be a chemist to understand the real and present danger associated with the DTaP vaccine. Despite the “Oh, you can’t refuse vaccination” chatter from the “less informed,” my kids remain untouched by needles.
