A third infant has died in Kentucky, KYDPH adds:

“These are Kentucky’s first pertussis deaths since 2018. None of the infants nor their mothers received the recommended pertussis vaccinations during pregnancy or early infancy.”

Pertussis outbreaks have been predictably happening everywhere there are low vaccination rates, and infant deaths have happened in multiple states. In many places they’re the highest in a decade or more.
This may not sound like a lot compared to Texas but WV is roughly 5-6% the size of TX. This is a big deal.

After two infants died, the Louisiana Dept of Health under the leadership of the new incoming deputy director of the CDC, delayed notifying the public for months of a whooping cough outbreak. Instead, he ordered DOH to stop promoting vaccines. Pertussis is currently a national health crisis.
Louisiana officials waited months to warn public of whooping cough outbreak
After a whooping cough outbreak killed two infants, Louisiana health officials waited months to officially alert physicians or do public outreach. That's not the typical public health response.

The CDC has not addressed this and is largely pretending it isn’t happening. Meanwhile they’re taking steps to actively reduce vaccination rates.
Pertussis cases in Texas are 10x higher than all of 2023, and 2x as high as last year — 4x for the same period. The official count is higher by a 1k than it has been in more than a decade. Last time it was over 2k was 2014 with 2,576. It’s past 3,500 for 2025.

Did you ever payback the $325,000 from your failed 2022 congressional run? Isn’t most of that money for “refunds for illegal excessive campaign donations”?

It’s a war on so called women dominated professions

It’s also devastating for the disability community
