Portland State is canceling today’s home football game vs South Dakota due to an outbreak of whooping cough on Vikings team.
PSU had players ill on Thursday. They were quarantined. A number of other players were exposed. South Dakota and PSU huddled and canceled the game.

Cancelling a football game due to a vaccine preventable disease outbreak. We have reached peak f%#*ing stupid. Peak.f%#*ing.Stupid. as a society. (the fact the outbreak happened, not the cancelling that needed to happen)  Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude! First, it was one player! Second, the pertussis vaccine ranges in effectiveness from 41%-58% to 71%-85%. pertussis vaccine is not a magical cure-all. Even at its best, 15% of people, who have been inoculated, can still get pertussis. The problem was that the one player with it exposed other players. Third, the pertussis vaccine only lasts 4-12 years. After that, it produces reduced effectiveness over time. This is partly by design, because pertussis is generally awful for children under four, but pertussis tends to be more mild among healthy adults. Fourth, you are presupposing that everyone on the team is from the United States of America, and they are not. 90.2% of Americans aged 18-22 have been inoculated against TDap. That number is stupid high. But resident aliens often have an obnoxiously low vaccination rate, when compared to people who were born in the United States of America. I disagree with the general tenor and tone of your post. Pertussis vaccine is important, but certain policy decisions make me think that certain sectors of society think that other policy decisions are more important than the general health of American citizens. If you are saying that all American policy should be geared toward limiting the number of deaths related to pertussis, I 100% agree with you. But I personally doubt that you or the dog-pilers to your post do. I will say that all American policy should be geared toward limiting the number of deaths related to pertussis. A truly awful disease, which primarily attacks the most vulnerable Americans. I could go on, but I will not. |

(the fact the outbreak happened, not the cancelling that needed to happen) Former school principal here. Part of my job then was to work with families whose kids had not had their vaccines and still wanted to send them to school. Super fun times. |
