Kari Bundy's son Died after shot - Pertussis - DTaP and Statistics

Video Transcript:

I have two sons and a lot of people know me because my son may send. We vaccinated him at four months old in March of 2011 and three days later he died for no apparent reason. And so we went on to have another son and we had to make a decision about vaccines and we decided not to vaccinate him and he actually contracted pertussis and he's four years old now. He was a year old when it happened and he's really healthy and happy and of course my older son Mason, he is dead. So I hear a lot of misinformation about how you need to give your child a pertussis vaccine to avoid death and what I want to tell you is I want to show you a little bit of math so that you can understand how low the risk of death from pertussis actually is. This is what I did so that I could decide oh my god am I going to vaccinate my next kid or not and that sounds crazy but I do understand how scary it is to have a government agency telling you that you know babies die all the time from this disease and so you're scared into vaccination. So I've printed out this sheet from the CDC and in it they gave me some of my numbers that I'm going to use for these statistics. So they say now we see about 10,000 to 40,000 cases reported each year and unfortunately up to 20 deaths. Now the CDC is notorious for using selective language like a bow and up to and 10,000 is actually only 25% of this 40,000 so this range is giant and they're doing it that way on purpose but I'm going to go ahead and play their little game and say that there are 40,000 cases a year and we'll say 20 deaths. And so the first thing I want you to see is that even with these 20 deaths out of these 40,000 cases our death rate is much lower than you think. So we take 20 and we divide it by the number of cases which is 40,000 and our answer is .005. And to find out the percentage you just move this little decimal point to places just like in school and we get .05%. This is your chance of dying once you have pertusses okay this means you've already caught it but what's your chance of catching pertusses to begin with? We know it's 40,000 but in order for us to even find that answer we have to divide that 40,000 by the population so we have 40,000 people and there's 318 million people in the United States so we're going to take 40,000 and we're going to divide it by 318 million and our answer is .001.257.861 and it probably continues we're going to move our decimal place to places again and then you see that your risk is .01%. For even contracting pertusses to begin with. Now what is your chance of dying from pertusses? Now it seems insane once you look at it but a lot of people just don't know how to lay the math out so that's what I'm doing for you right now so these are the deaths we'll say that we had 20 out of 318 million people now you already know this is going to be a really small number. That puts your risk at and that's a lot of zeros. So that is .00000 and then three more zeros six to nine. We're going to move that over to again which leads us with these five zeros so .00000629% this right here people this this is what you're vaccinating your children for you are vaccinating your children so they do not become point of the point part of the .00000629% of people that die in this country from pertusses every year now I got on to theirs which is a reporting system where adverse reactions are reported by physicians, nurses, parents, whatever and I just wanted to see what kind of reports they had about the D-TAP vaccine so there were 38,199 adverse reactions reported now the other important thing to note is that the AMA the American Medical Association which is who's recommending the vaccines that you guys or that some people are choosing to use says that only 10% of all adverse events are even reported to bears but we also know that could be as low as 1 to 2% but we'll say 10% are reported to bears okay now this is what bears said death was reported 486 times cardiac arrest was reported 931 times coma was reported 367 times pedachi and I'll tell you why this one's relevant to me in a second pedachi was reported in 404 pneumonia that was reported in 485 resuscitation was reported in 290 which means that they had to be resuscitated seizures 288 and the last one I wrote down and I'm going to write here before I run out of spaces un I can't even write unresponsive to stimuli and there were 465 reports there now if we take the numbers that the AMA I said I used my really awful marker here we know that they said only 10% so what we're going to do we're going to go through here and say all right well the AMA is saying that's probably the real number that's probably the real number that's probably the real number that's probably the real number that's probably the real number that's probably the real number and if you're one of the people that believes it's really only 1% which it probably is instead of 4000 we're moving to 48,093,000 36,040,000 so according to the AMA these are the numbers that are more likely for all of these conditions right now isn't that crazy why would anybody risk that with a vaccine
