What is whooping cough (pertussis)?

Pertussis or whooping cough is a disease that causes severe coughing that makes it hard to breathe, eat, or drink; can lead to pneumonia, convulsions, brain damage, and death. Most serious for kids under three because secretions are thick and windpipes are tiny. Older children develop a cough and typically recover uneventfully.

Immunity wanes as kids get older, with pertussis outbreaks common and often starting with a coughing adult. This can lead to more potentially fatal cases in unimmunized children and incompletely immunized infants. The booster dosing helps with waning immunity in those over eleven years old.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
