Jesus Christ we really are reverting to the early industrial revolution aren’t we?
What next, cholera? Consumption? Little orphan boys cleaning chimneys?

As someone who had whooping cough even though they were vaccinated against it
IT FUCKING SUCKS
Was hacking my lungs up for a solid month
I got pneumonia when I was a kid cuz I feel in a stream and inhaled water.
If it’s as bad as that then, yeah that shit does sound like it sucks.
Whooping cough can last 10 weeks or longer and coughing fits can be so hard as to break ribs or cause vomiting
Ugh!
I def vomited a lot when I had pneumonia.
Yep, I had to be doped up 24/7 on cough meds or i’d be wracked with pain
AFAIK you can actually have that happen, too. The coughing can not only break ribs and causes vomiting like the other user said, it can cause so much damage to your lungs they start to bleed and you cough up bits of lung tissue.
Absolutely horrifying stuff. Even worse when it’s small children and babies who get it. Makes me absolutely enraged we have a fucking miracle cure but people refuse to take it because of some bullshit they saw on Facebook.
