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.

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.

The grand jury is looking into whether she conspired with Ed Martin and Pulte as a non-deputized citizen, which could be a crime. She thought she was going in to testify in the case against Adam Schiff, but they asked her questions about her role. 2/
