Here are the statistics on deaths from whooping cough in Australia

COPIED & PASTED from a non-share facebook page.
Take a quick trip over to the Australia Bureau of Statistics and have look at how many people really die each year from this ‘deadly’ disease called whooping cough.
You’ll be shocked.
Here are the actual figures, without the media hype:
2006 – 3 deaths no data
2007 – 0 deaths 5379 cases
2008 – 2 deaths 14435 cases
2009 – 3 deaths 29545 cases
2010 – 4 deaths 34285 cases
2011 – 3 deaths 38040 cases
2012 – 3 deaths 23885 cases
2013 – 2 deaths 12318 cases
2014 – 4 deaths 11842 cases
2015 – 3 deaths 22508 cases
Now do the maths. There are currently 24.3 million people in Australia. What is your child’s risk of getting whooping cough? Oh, you didn’t need to do the maths – you could immediately see it was extremely remote.
Now calculate the chance of dying if your child actually gets whooping cough.. the .000 of a percent is one hell of a scary figure isn’t it? Fear sells vaccines, common sense and basic maths prove without a doubt that vaccines are nothing but poison sold by fear to the ignorant.
Now, for argument’s sake, I’m even going to allow you to claim that the rates are so low because of vaccination. (I’m too exhausted to fight.) If that’s what you believe, vaccinate your children. I have no issue with that.
But I have a question for you:
Assuming the vaccine works, (which is contentious, to say the least) how many additional lives will be saved by forcing the 1% of conscientious objectors to vaccinate their children?
Do the maths. Oh, don’t need to – you can immediately see that
IT’S NOT EVEN ONE!
Now remember that the next time the media tries to whip you into a frenzied hatred of people who don’t vaccinate.
