Whooping Cough Epidemic in California

An epidemic of whooping cough aka pertussis has been declared in California. The number of cases has jumped to four times normal.

No specific cause of the outbreak has been cited but it is known that fewer parents are vaccinating their children against pertussis and waves of people are entering the country without being checked medically.
