Can there be some connection between the whooping cough immunization and brain damage?

No: There is a direct connection between whooping cough, the disease, and kids who cough so hard in their infancy that they have strokes and die.The vaccine haters have offered this disinformation for years.Now whooping cough rates have gone up from 2500 (90's) to 40000 in 2013. Deaths from whooping cough >30, vaccine related death or proven damage in the same period= 0.
