As an epidemiologist, “whooping cough” (pertussis) is one of those diseases where I believe the name denotes a mildness in severity to people.

Whooping cough literally can make you cough so much you die because your brain can’t get oxygen. Or you get pneumonia & die.
Cases of whooping cough in Michigan are at their highest level in at least 20 years, as vaccinations decline. The disease can be deadly to infants. Alarmed by the increase, doctors are pleading for families to vaccinate their children.
