This. Okay, I'm a young adult, and compromized immune system or not, while I will have a miserable few weeks, I will be fine. My three month old niece, however... If I hadn't been an overprotective aunt, I could have given it to her, and she could have died. Whooping cough kills babies. It kills them before they are old enough to get the vaccine. This is going around an elementary school. How many of the kids there have baby siblings that they could bring this home to? It makes me so angry when these people don't get that it isn't just about them and their child.
