Correct, they are effective but not perfect. Pertussis is different in that immunity wanes after two years. Even if you get the infection you're not naturally immune for life and can still get it. There are virtually no risks in vaccinations and an 80-90% effectiveness is well worth it.
Not a single unvaccinated kid contracted whooping cough, yet you're going to stand by this garbage 80-90% effectiveness number? Outbreaks routinely happen in fully vaccinated populations. The problem is their numbers are cooked. The FDA trusts vaccine manufacturers to do their own efficacy and safety studies so this should not be a surprise.
Yes. In a 2010 outbreak the unvaccinated were 8 times more likely to contract it. Are you really going to point to 30 cases in one outbreak as evidence that unvaccinated people don't contract it?
