Whooping cough (pertussis) cases have skyrocketed by more than 1,500% nationwide since 2021.

"In America, food manufacturers faced no prohibitions on their use of chemical additives, nor any regulation on divulging ingredients.
By the end of the 19th century, the food supply was rife with chemicals and fakes.
