What is your point?
1) Are you claiming that the 4 vaccinated kids who were infected is evidence against the vaccine working at all?
So it would appear ... at least for them. Do they matter to you?
The answer to this is simple
No, you're responses are simple … the answer, however, is likely not.
it is well known and documented that vaccines have a minority percentage of failure rate.
Okay, where is your documentation and what do you mean by “minority failure rate”? More people don't get the disease than do after receiving the vaccine? Great.
This can be due to insufficient immune response (either bad luck or simultaneous unrelated infection at the time of vaccination) or a failure of production/storage/administration. 4 out 524 is 0.76%, I'm not sure what the failure rate for the vaccine is but a high rate than that would not be surprising nor would it invalidate the usefullness of the vaccines.
You're not sure what the failure rate is but here you are pontificating about it … great. Please, do go on.
2) Do you think that the high vaccination rate should have provided herd immunity to the students?
Well, that's the popular theory but it's evidently not working out so good, is it?
If this is what you think then you fail to understand the common sources of pertussis infection in the modern era of vaccines is adults (who have lost immunity over time and in whom pertussis is an extremely mild infection).
The article was about school children.
It is for this reason I allowed myself to be vaccinated by my employer (as an adult I legally can't be forced) due to (at the time) working regularly around the very young who couldn't yet be vaccinated. I had recieved the vaccination as a child but our knowledge of it shows that it can be generally assumed I had lost it by adulthood.
Okay, now we're getting down to it a little … you got stuck by your employer. Nice. Did you get to keep your job if you refused?
It would be nice if you didn't force me to guess your argument/point...
Aw, come on … can't a guy have a little fun?

And the point of this being.....? You didn't even cite the original data to look at why (your source provides what looks like a rather generic reference which unfortunately ends up as a broken link anyway)
Um, let's see … National Vaccine Injury Act? Ya think just maybe there is a little problem somewhere that gave birth to this?
The CDC reports that in the United States, cases of whooping cough have increased approximately 10-fold in the last twenty years [1], despite an increase in infant vaccination rates from 61% getting at least three doses of the pertussis vaccine in 1991 to 96.2% getting at least three doses in 2008

What reasons do the CDC think are causing this and what reasons do YOU think are causing this?
I'm ready to let the facts speak for themselves … how about you?
I'm not seeing a clear argument for the danger of vaccines or why we shouldn't use them from argument?
Myopia is seldom pretty except that it does ease the burden on the eyes as it concerns that which would otherwise be unsightly.
The source you gave implies the vaccine itself is the cause of increasing rates but does not make any meaningful attempt even to show this in the article which follows.
The fact that you inferred this conclusion without prodding would seem to argue for the veracity of said conclusion.
So are you going to make an argument now or vomit up an endless stream of random articles you think are suggestive vaccines are bad? I'm only going to play whack-a-mole for a so long. It would be nice to know at least that you understand what you are copying and pasting, because if you don't understand who on earth am I talking to with my rebuttals?
Okay, big picture time. All other niggling over posting minutia aside, your online monicker makes it evident your are familiar with the works of the fiction writer Peter F. Hamilton. In his “Night's Dawn” trilogy he envisions a race (Tyrathca) with a cast system that has only the breeders being fully sentient. I would suggest to you that, if you had followed the other threads concerning vaccination, you would already have in hand the information necessary to know that Mr. Gates and his friends envision something similar and are busy lacing vaccines with sterilizing agents so as to ensure that he and his fellow eugenicists become this breeding cast whilst robing others of this God given right.
Why you would embrace such efforts is beyond me but I think your religious affiliation may well speak to the matter better than I. That said I can only hope that somewhere along the line your concern for your fellow man will overcome your inclination to embrace philosophies that continue to diminish the value of human life in the name of creating a “shambala” for the chosen few.
Whether you see it or not, that is what you are doing.
