dr. anthony fauci is the head of the infectious diseases at the national institutes of health. -own cbs news chief medical correspondent of course is dr. jon lapook. dr. fauci, are we the verge of a major epidemic here? >> not a major epidemic in the sense of globally around the united states, more than 90% of the people in the united states are vaccinated. we're talking about outbreaks among vulnerable people. i think what people don't really appreciate is that children, even normal children without any issues of health from birth to one year old are not vaccinated because you don't vaccinate children until they're 12 months old. when you have outbreaks children for example, in daycare centers like we saw in chicago, become vulnerable if there is enough infection in the country to allow for these outbreaks that we saw in california and disneyland. >> schieffer: it was california, the group in disleyland, outbreak in chicago. any other pockets? >> as you said, several states, in south dakota, for example there's a cluster. and vulnerability is always since this is such a highly

dr. andrew fauci, director of the national institute of allergy and infectious diseases. dr. fauci, what was generally thought up to now that exposure to peanuts early on was a bad thing, that was wrong? >> indeed, as we've seen from this case this study that you just mentioned, is that earlier exposure of a child does what we call tolerizing the child so you can get less of an incident of later on peanut allergies. so if you're pre-determined to get peanut allergy and you try avoid getting the child to be exposed, you find out the contrary -- if you take the child and expose them early on and compare them to people in which you've tried to avoid exposure, there was a highly significant difference in the sense of less later on peanut allergies among the children who had the early exposure as opposed to the avoidance. >> brown: tell us about the study briefly. is it aimed at infants who already had a higher risk for allergies? how is that defined? >> well, what you did is you take children who, for a variety of reasons, either children who have a history of egg allergy, milk al

with medicine we rarely get such a slam dunk as dr. fauci said a vaccine generally considered incredibly safer and incredibly effective. >> what are some of the side effects, possible side effects of this vaccine? >> usually the side effects are related to the actual injunction. flu-like symptom et set virginia. death or disability et cetera absolutely not. and the issue, again, is, when does personal liberty actually trump public safety? and public health concerns? i think that's really -- i'm obviously not going to be speaking to the political opportunism here but it plays into the discussion for us as well. >> so, doctor just to give us separating fact from fiction, measles is extremely dangerous, right? if you don't have a vaccine? it is. i think we want to reiterate to people, yes, a lot of people argue measles is a normal part of childhood infection, just like chicken pox was. for the majority of people that's probably true but, remember before we had widespread vaccination, 400 to 500 people every single year died from this not to men

we ahead dr. fauci says this is incredibly contagious. with measles. in fact you don't even have to be in the same room. if someone was in the room an hour before you who had measles, you can't get it too if you had not been vaccinated. >> we're seeing a certain number who have been vaccinated who are also getting measles, does that mean no one is really safe? >> there are certainly people who are safe. starting around 1990 the cdc set we they people need two doses, not just one. folks vaccinated since 1990 they're in good shape, pretty much -- you never say 100% sure thing, but there are those of us -- i was born before 1990. there are those of us who are older than 25 and we did not get two shots, we got one, so there is a chance we may be vulnerable to measles. if you have a question if you know people who have measles and you are concerned, you need to talk to your doctor about whether you need that second shot. >> you will hear people who are against the vaccine, or have concerns about the vaccine say measles, it's not so bad. health

dr. anthony fauci director of the national institute of infectious diseases. what's going on? why are we going the other direction? i thought everybody was vaccinated we eradicated the disease and now we're going the other direction. >> that's unfortunate and the reason we're seeing the outbreaks is there are certain segments pockets in the country which the vaccination rate gets below a certain level which leads to the possibility of outbreaks. that's the reason we're seeing it now in 2015. in 2014 was a very bad year for measles. we had gotten rid of measles by the year 2000 by a vaccination campaign, and because of certain parents not getting their children vaccinated we're starting to see a resurgence which is unfortunate, because this is an entirely preventable disease because the vaccine is very, very effective, and the disease can be quite serious. tom: as far as the group that's not vaccinated do you or any other organization have they tried to figure out who they are? what the demographics? where they live, et cetera? >> sure, if one looks at the map and looks at the

dr. anthony fauci, director of national institutes for allergy and infectious diseases will be with us. we want to talk to him about is there a real danger of a nationwide epidemic here. this thing is very serious. >> good to see you. >>> january was another big month for job growth. the labor department says 257,000 jobs were created, but the unemployment rate is up from 5.6% to 5.7 and that means people are still looking for work, but there is some good news when it comes to paychecks. wages climbed in january by the largest amount since 2008. >>> always watching always tracking wusa9 first alert weather. >> he apparently didn't get the memo. >> but he got photo bombed. go to twitter, folks, check it out. >> i've been tenaciously looking at the weather maps looking for a snowstorm. let's start with a live look outside, our live michael and son weather cam, temperature 38, dew points single digits. remember this time yesterday they were below 0, so a pretty darn dry air mass. winds turned south, southwesterly at 8. granted that's a warmer wind. right now we'll say lows in the 20s tonig

dr. faucil institute of allergy and infectious diseases joining us from washington. good to see you. this is unsettling even if you see how they try to clean and sterilize with the best efforts. tell me first, though, about this superbug which is the root of the problem here particularly at the ucla hospital. how common is this? >> it's not common but it certainly is not so rare that we almost never see it. this is not the first time that theres has been an outbreak of cre, which is shortened for the word carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae. which is a long way of saying it's a specific type of a bacteria that is quite resistant to antibiotics. and there have been other outbreaks related to other types of contamination. the contamination in question is pretty problematic it's pretty problematic right now, because you're talking about a procedure right now that can be life-saving and decrease the risks of other types of interventions like surgery. and yet there is a very small risk not zero

we'll talk about that with anthony fauci of the national institutes of health and our own dr. jon lapook.

dr. anthony fauci is a brilliant epidemiologist who heads the national institutes of health of allergy and infectious disease. he said the discovery of teixobactin, he said it was a long shot but it worked. that was also true of the polio vaccine discovered 60 years ago by dr. jonas salk and so many other american cures and breakthroughs that changed the world. private industry doesn't fund this sort of basic foundational science. it can't. this kind of science takes patience and time and a lot of investment. america is blessed with some of the best and most generous medical philanthropies in the world but they can't fill this funding gap. only we can do it. it takes our government to fund the science that leads to breakthrough cures. this shouldn't be a partisan issue and it shouldn't be a low-budget priority. i think it should be the highest. i ask my colleagues join me in supporting the american cures act. help save lives and restore american biomedical research leadership and strengthen america. as jonas salk who pioneered the polio vaccine would say -- quote -- "the only way we can lo
