Kikhoste (Pertussis) - info fra andre

Kikhoste kan være farlig for de aller minste. Av den grunn så bør foreldre til nyfødte gjøre hva de kan for å skjerme disse mot sykdom. De som er vaksinert mot kikhoste kan fortsatt spre bakterien, men vil være uten symptomer (så lenge vaksinen virker). Dette kan være en potensiell smittekilde for spedbarn. 

Fredag den 20. oktober 2023 så holdt advokat Aaron Siri  foredrag for «Novel Coronavirus South Western Intergovernmental Committee» i Arizona State Senate. Hensikten var debatt rundt vaksiner som i USA er pliktige for å gå på offentlig skole.

Videoklippet omhandler kikhoste og varer i 14 minutter. Hele foredraget finner du i denne linken «Aaron Siri om barnevaksinene».

«Acellular pertussis vaccines protect against disease but fail to prevent infection and transmission in a nonhuman primate model»

«Consistent with these findings, seroepidemiological studies have concluded that B. pertussis circulation is still high in countries with excellent aP uptake (27,50),»

«Finally, aPV pertussis vaccines do not prevent colonization. Consequently, they do not reduce the circulation of B. pertussis and do not exert any herd immunity effect.»

ICAN svar fra FDA

«It is important to note that FDA’s licensure standards for vaccines do not require demonstration of the prevention of infection or transmission. A vaccine can meet the licensure standard if the vaccine’s benefits of protecting against disease outweigh the vaccine’s risks for the licensed use. There is no requirement that the vaccine also prevents infection with the pathogen that can cause the disease or transmission of that pathogen to others.

«Indeed, the pertussis vaccines that FDA has licensed are for prevention of pertussis disease not infection with B. pertussis. Pertussis disease occurs after infection and colonization of the respiratory tract by B. pertussis.»

«In short, the Petition has not provided evidence of any widespread misconception about the effectiveness of licensed vaccines containing an acellular pertussis component with respect to preventing infection and transmission of pertussis, nor are we convinced that there is any widespread misconception about this.»

Inter-Epidemic Intervals

«That vaccination does not prevent B. pertussis infection in humans, nor the circulation of the organism in human populations in any important manner, domes from the obervation that the inter-epidemic intervals have not changed in a major way since the implementation of mass vaccination.»

Linked Eptiope Suppression

Artikkel 1: «Up to 5 bacterial antigens are included in the currently licensed pediatric and adult aP vaccines: pertussis toxoid (PT) and up to 4 adhesion proteins of filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA), pertactin (PRN) and fimbriae (FIM) types 2 and 3 (FIM2/3)…..»

Artikkel 2: «Because of linked-epitope suppression, all children who were primed by DTaP vaccines will be more susceptible to pertussis throughout their lifetimes, and there is no easy way to decrease this increased lifetime susceptibility.»

«Initial vaccine effectiveness against pertussis within one year of Tdap vaccination was 73% (95% CI = 60%–82%), but after 2–4 years, postvaccination vaccine effectiveness decreased to 34% (95% CI = -0.03%–58%) (29).»

«Another study that calculated Tdap vaccine effectiveness among adolescents found that, within the first year after vaccination, effectiveness was 68.8% (95% CI = 59.7%–75.9%); by ≥4 years after vaccination, vaccine effectiveness was 8.9% (95% CI = -30.6%–36.4%) (149).»

«As observed with DTaP, Tdap vaccine effectiveness declines substantially with increasing time since vaccination (29,149,150).»

«Although there are no studies estimating Tdap vaccine effectiveness in persons who received only DTP as infants, reported rates of pertussis have been observed to be significantly lower among children who had started their vaccination series with DTP than among those who had started with DTaP (151,152).»

Antall årlige tilfeller i Norge?

Historiske tall på sykehustilfeller og dødsfall av kikhoste finner du i FHI sine rapporter om barnevaksinasjonsprogrammet. Sist gang et barn døde med kikhoste i Norge var i 2004. Link til alle FHI-rapportene finner du nederst på siden «info om barnevaksinene». Bildene her er fra rapporten fra 2013 og 2023.

Meldingssystem for Smittsomme Sykdommer

Alle kan søke opp antall kikhoste tilfeller i databasen til MSIS (meldingssystem for smittsomme sykdommer). Kikhoste «forsvant» under covid, og kom tilbake da covid testingen opphørte. Hva man tenker om dette må hver og en vurdere selv.
