I’m going to be away from my desk for a few hours, but I wanted to draw my reader’s attention to an excellent post this morning by Maryn McKenna on her (new) Superbug blog on Whooping Cough, or Pertussis.
Whooping cough: Back, with a vengeance
This has become a hot topic in the past month due to the epidemic of Pertussis occurring in California this year.
On Sunday, Dr. Greg Dworkin (aka DemFromCt) posted a terrific piece on Pandemics, Pertussis and Vaccine on the Flu Wiki, and also on Daily Kos.
And I’ve written a couple of posts over the past month about it myself.
