"In acute respiratory infections such as diphtheria or pertussis, bacteria can attack the lungs or bronchial tubes, causing chronic coughs, pneumonia and breathing difficulties. Pertussis – also known as whooping cough – kills about 300,000 children a year, while a third respiratory infection, Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) pneumonia kills about 500,000."

Those numbers are worldwide or us? Where did they come from? The whooping cough shot is one of the least effective. The flu shot kills more than the flu on an annual basis. These stats are both from the cdc.
