Thirty years ago, whooping cough had nearly disappeared. Today, it's back. The epidemic has already killed 10 babies and infected thousands of children this year in California. KPBS and the Watchdog Institute at SDSU are working together to look at who's getting sick, facts about the vaccine, and how public health agencies have responded.

  • I'm the 1999 th viewer...

  • This is a great video.

    Occasionally I go back and research immunizations to remind myself why I didn't get my now 2 year old daughter shots, and why I won't get my new baby when he pops out any either. I might get a little paranoid around sick people, but hey I think more people should be considerate and not go in public if they are sick anyway. If you ever want a good reason not to get your child (or you) vaccinated, look up the ingredients and side effects.

  • Awsome video. There should be a million views.
