Quoted message said:Hi,
I'm new to this group, am a breastfeeding mom, and would like to know
if there exists any research/data about the infants that have
contracted pertussis...whether they were breastfed or not.
I don't want to immunize my baby (4mos) until at least 3yo.
Thanks
Lorinda
Lorinda,
BRAVO! You are IMMUNIZING your baby daily by breastfeeding! The immunizing
you are doing reportedly makes MD-needle vaccinations work better!
I'm copying Natasha Crowcroft of the Immunisation Division of the Health
Protection Agency Communicable Disease Surveillance Centre, London, UK.

See her recent pertussis article, PubMed abstract below.
Hopefully Natasha will know if there is any "research/data about the infants
that have contracted pertussis...whether they were breastfed or not."
NATASHA: WARNING: MDs are endangering VACCINATED children in their
fraudulent attempt to dissuade parents seeking vaccination exemptions for
their children.
This is the Exclusion Day vaccination fraud...
Even worse: As ostensibly "pro-immunization" MDs fraudulently pretend that
all vaccinated children are immunized - they are DENYING massive numbers of
PRE-SCHOOL children massive numbers of free daily immunizations!
See: Vaccination is NOT immunization/Breastfeeding *is* immunization!

NATASHA:
1. Hopefully the Immunisation Division of the Health Protection Agency
Communicable Disease Surveillance Centre, London, UK is telling pregnant
women that...
IF THEY BREASTFEED their bodies will automatically scan for pathogens and
manufacture specific immunizations which they will "inject" with their
breasts daily.
2. Hopefully the Immunisation Division is telling pregnant women that
breastfeeding reportedly makes MD-needle vaccinations work better.
THINK ABOUT IT... In most countries - ostensibly "pro-immunization" MDs -
who brought the immunization rate way DOWN (by "scientifically" addicting
mothers to bottle-feeding) - are missing a GOLDEN opportunity to bring the
immunization rate way back UP...
ASK YOURSELF: How many women - informed that they can IMMUNIZE their babies
daily and in doing so make MD-needle vaccinations work better - are going to
fail to at least ATTEMPT to breastfeed?
By failing to explicitly inform pregnant women that they are IMMUNIZERS...
MDs are senselessly keeping the breastfeeding rate down - committings mass
IMMUNOLOGIC child abuse!

How best to estimate the global burden of pertussis?
Crowcroft NS, Stein C, Duclos P, Birmingham M.
Immunisation Division of the Health Protection Agency Communicable Disease
Surveillance Centre, London, UK. [email hidden]
In most countries, pertussis surveillance is inadequate for accurately
estimating numbers of cases or deaths. Good estimates are needed to help set
priorities for vaccination programmes. We aimed to develop a simple,
reliable, and explicit method for estimating pertussis cases and deaths for
children under 15 years to calculate the global disease burden in 1999. We
estimated the proportion of susceptible children becoming infected in
countries with poor vaccination coverage (<70%) in 1999 at 30% by 1 year,
80% by 5 years, and 100% by 15 years of age and for countries with good
coverage (> or =70%) at 10% by 1 year, 60% by 5 years, and 100% by 15 years.
Vaccine efficacy was estimated at 80% for preventing infection and 95% for
preventing deaths. We used UN population estimates and vaccination coverage
reported to WHO (adjusted for specific survey data if available). Case
fatality ratios for countries with high and low child mortality were derived
from published and unpublished work. For some countries with good vital
events registration we used reported deaths adjusted for underascertainment.
In 1999 there were an estimated 48.5 million pertussis cases in children
worldwide. Deaths from pertussis were estimated at 390000 and at 295000
after adjustment for local data sources. Based on this approach,
disability-adjusted life years from pertussis (12.7 million) in 2000
exceeded those of other preventable diseases such as lung cancer (11.4
million) and meningitis (5.8 million). This simple approach yields estimates
that can be used for setting vaccination programme priorities. Better data
are needed on the public health importance of pertussis in high mortality
countries, the benefits of incomplete vaccination, and the harm from delayed
vaccination.

....Among the infants with pertussis-like illness, the incidence and duration
of breast feeding were not different compared with controls. The results
suggest that breast feeding has a strong protective effect against ALRI in
industrialized countries also. No protection seems to be conferred by human
milk against pertussis-like illness.
And there is this...

Breastfeeding attenuates reductions in energy intake induced by a mild
immunologic stimulus represented by DPTH immunization: possible roles of
interleukin-1beta, tumor necrosis factor-alpha and leptin.

An attenuated severity of infections is among the well-documented benefits
of breast-feeding. The degree to which this attenuated severity extends to
the amelioration of anorexia is understood incompletely, and possible
underlying mechanisms have received limited evaluation. This study was
designed to test whether breast-feeding attenuates reductions in energy
intake associated with a mild immunologic stimulus and to assess
poststimulus relationships among putative reductions in energy intake and
serum interleukin (IL)-1beta, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and leptin
concentrations. A quasi-experimental, hospital-based study was conducted in
23 healthy fully breast- (BF) and formula-fed (FF) infants who received the
quadruple diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus and hemophilus influenza (DPTH)
immunization as an immunologic challenge. Only FF infants had decreased
energy intakes (12 +/- 2%, P = 0.001) after immunization. Leptin
concentrations increased after immunization only in FF infants (30 +/- 7%, P
= 0.03). Correlations between postimmunization increases in IL-beta and
reductions in energy intake were of borderline significance (r = -0.56, P =
0.08). These findings support the view that breast-feeding protects against
anorectic responses to mild immunologic stimuli. Increases in leptin are
associated with reductions in energy consumption in the postimmunization
period in FF infants and postimmunization changes in IL-1beta concentrations
likely are related to reductions in energy intake in response to immunologic
stimuli.
I SAY AGAIN NATASHA...
Hopefully the Immunisation Division of the Health Protection Agency
Communicable Disease Surveillance Centre, London, UK is telling pregnant
women that if they breastfeed their bodies will automatically scan for
pathogens and manufacture specific immunizations which they will "inject"
with their breasts daily.
Hopefully the Immunisation Division is telling pregnant women that
breastfeeding reportedly makes MD-needle vaccinations work better.
Hopefully you can answer Lorinda's question...
