other problems, specifically there was talk about possiblepo links to getting a vaccination having a link to autism. is that one of those that play l in the decision? >> certainly there was a lot oft issues that came up over theer years that people wouldwo associate certain diseases or certain kinds of conditions thah owe involved, like autism during the early years when you get most of your vaccines as a child. that that became clear. but they were associated or supposedly associated with autism. it's turned out not to be the th case, but that started the whole trend and then you have the mmr and autism craze which was wa fueled by a discrediteddited physician who actually falsifiee scientific research and createdn a lot of problems for us. yes, we have a lot of pockets po around the country and in this study what it showed is those is

pockets are in areas where wh parents choose not to vaccinatea their children where there's ane actual increase in disease. this situation with whooping cough. >> when parents choose not to having sin 8 vaccinate their ch. are they putting the child at risk for getting the disease or getting an infection from other children.childr >> certainly. all of these diseases are still prevalent around the world. wo whooping cough may infect 30 million people.eople. will kill upwards of 30,000 of people n that outbreak in 201010 in california there were 9100 cases reported and there's manyy that weren't reported. rert those who have been vaccinated may get a mild case. nonethelesser nonetheless, ten infants died in that outbreak. this is preventable by virtue of precautions. the best way to prevent it is through immunization. >> what if people say, whooping cough and tb, these are gone,

there's no real risk of theseskf things anymore, so why being be having a in8e avaccinated agai. >> pertussis is a very different situation than polio. polio we have made an effort to eradicate a lot like small pox.o there's pockets in africa wheree we still have polio. there's areas that we need to penetrate, upon ulation populatt don't accept immunizations forno haven't had great access to. the most important thing is to s be vigilant and continue to immunize. when you stop, you then decrease the immunized course of the population will have a higher susceptibility, with pe pertuss, every infected individual will affect 15-13 other individuals.i it's very difficult to, and it

creates a long course of illnesses and contagiousness. >> you are a pediatrician in our own practice. have you had to counci counsel , have some of you come and said i would rather not do this vaccine or that vaccine. >> there's a lot of banter, andn blog sites on internet thatat advice parents that they're doing the wrong thing thingy mug children. >> they are doing more harm for the children than they would if they vac vaccinate. there's reports that the benefit farout weighs any potential detriment. >> as far as the medicalhe community is concerned, the chatter, the antivaccinationcini chatter that is out there, base on things we talked about years

ago, all of those issues have been debunked. >> they have been debunked through science as opposed to the assertions that were nonscientific. >> dr. russell libby. thank you the. thank you. you. allison, hot button issue. thank you dr. libby.dr still ahead, mean girls, the author of a new book will join i us to discuss why women, those girl do grow up, are not empowering each other in thehein workplace and how we can change it. plus, a trip to a coffee shop sh brings out a woman's inner in demon. you wouldn't want to miss the prank that has everyone talking today. it is 9:14.

confident. they know their subject matter. it's the negative behavior, the idea that i can be -- i have to be the only one. the other women don't count. that is the bad side of effect.e and the reason why we're not no enpowerred and the thing i wantt women to get out of this book. o the reason they're not empowered is because they're not enough of us. if you are the only one there's no power. powe there's power in numbers, that's what i want with people, women especially to embrace. >> empraise it. >> let's get -- embrace. >> let's get to the negative ga habits that we form and holding us back. you say self loathing. at >> anytime you are talking about empowering. in order to empower someoneone else, you must first empower yourself. >> with relationships.la >> with anything.anythi >> a lot of women evethou they have managed to excel in in the subject matter and advance in the corporate ladder. a lot of reason why women don't like another women is because they don't like themselves.th they are coming from a very bad

place inside. if you are a confident woman and you know your stuff and you go into the room. other people don't bother you. you are busy trying to lift up other people and share your craft. >> which goes, you keep measuring ourselves through the eyes of other women. sadly they may not have the best for us in their heart. of course, even if it's not trur why not try to tear someone else. >> it's important that you be be comfortable and confident indco your own skin. sk the idea of you trying to be like someone else. you are not me, and i'm not you. i can recognize examineine celebratand celebratethe thingso about allison seymour. no matter what your size is or your educational background, don't measure yourself your dependence other women. >> ineffective use of words. wo >> look at that so an so-and-sot think that is what you're u' talking about.
