sanjay gupta. sanjay, how deadly is this bacteria? >> this is a pretty bad one.used this term super bugs and what they are really saying is this is an incredibly tough bacteria to treat because it is so resistant to antibiotics. in fact this particular bacteria is resistant to a class of antibiotics so these are a particular class of bugs now that sometimes make these things that can fight off antibiotics, they have really evolved to be able to protect themselves against many of the treatments. so that's what makes them so difficult, so difficult to treat. >> officials say that maybe 100 patients maybe even more may have been exposed. is this super bug contagious? >> it does not appear to be contagious. a really good question. not something that spreads through the air or spreads easily by any means. the way they seem to have contracted these infections is through a procedure known as an ercp a type of scope procedure designed to specifically look at the pancreas and the gallbladder to some extent. they believe these scopes were used that, they had been cleaned t

sanjay gupta.s the situation, is it getting worse in the country? >> it looks like the numbers are still going in the wrong direction, still more cases. but it doesn't seem to be growing as quickly as it had been before. take a look at the map. quickly this gives you an idea of how quickly an outbreak can spread. with something as contagious as measles. most of the cases in california as we know. but literally coast to coast, andky tell you, this is the map from the center force disease control. we've been calling state health departments ourselves, we know the numbers are a little bit bigger. for example, georgia did not light up on the map, but we know there's at least one patient with measles in georgia as well. so the numbers have grown a bit. and we've started to break down who are the people that are getting measles, in terms of their vaccination status. take a look if you break it down. five in ten were unvaccinated. four in ten didn't know if they were vaccinated. were likely not vaccinated

sanjay gupta joins me now. you went today to look at the instrument.was your impression and what makes it a super bug carrier? >> i've worked in hospitals for a long time. i've never seen anything quite like this in terms of the cleaning process. it's a scope but has a little mechanism at the end. it's the elevator. it allows the scope to do certain things once it's already inside the body. it's that very area that you're looking at that can also trap bacteria. whatever type of cleaning you can soak that in fluids or do whatever you want but unless you actually get around that elevating mechanism it may not be completely clean. it is a bit concerning because it really relies on a human element to make that as clean as possible. >> i mean, as you point out, just looking at those pictures how incredibly hard this is to clean. that's at the heart of the out break. a human being has to clean this. others don't. those are the ones where people are at risk of super bug. how do you clean this thing right? >> it's quite remarkable. it's a $30,000 piece of equi

sanjay gupta now. what do you make of it? >> you brought up an important point.rosal, mercury containing preservative in vaccines the try to preserve the vaccine, increase the shefl life, keep it free of contamination. it's a different type of mercury that typically raise concern. that is methyl mercury, as you said. thimerosal is broken down in the body known as ethyl mercury. aside from that, concerned about mercury no matter what shape or form it's in, there are long-term studies that looked at people who received vaccines that contained thimerosal at one point and followed these people for long periods of time and found no association between those vaccines and autism. >> right. and the studies from what i've read of them and spent a day doing this and many days before this, i mean, it involves tens of thousands, more than a hundred thousand children in multiple studies. it's not a small sampling. >> it's 1.2 million children in what's known as a meta analysis. all these different studies. what are called prospective studies, following people going forward, y

sanjay gupta. what's the latest? this map, i want to show you this map of what's happening. most of the measles cases in california but it has spread literally coast to coast now as you can see there. when we call these individual state health departments, we find that the numbers are probably a little bit higher than are being reported by that map. there's a lag time there. the state of georgia, for example, was not lit up on that map but we know there's at least one person who has measles in this state as well. numbers are probably higher. to your point, carol, they are growing at a slower rate if you will. still going up but not as rapidly as the numbers had gone up initially. we have a better idea of who is getting measles in terms of vaccination status and this probably won't be that surprising. roughly 5 in 10 were unvaccinated. that's not the complete picture. 4 in 10 didn't know. most of them likely not vaccinated as well. 1 in 10 were vaccinated. that's sort of the picture right now when you look at the 140

i much rather hear sanjay gupta and dr.ut this than any other potential 2016er on either side of the issue. >> it's an important issue to hear from candidates if this an issue like this comes up because it's an issue of public policy. what happens in our schools. what happens if there's a massive outbreak where the government has to be involved to contain. it's important to understand a potential presidential candidate's position on this. >> we overdramatize these issues. we this so huge with ebola that we couldn't get to the science. we couldn't locate where it was happening. we began to fear our neighbors and fear if we got an airplane somehow we would contract this virus. i agree with ana. there are some things that politicians should perhaps err on the side of caution. the science is clear on this. children issued be vaccinated. >> democrats have a problem with this as well donna. just to this point, this is not a major part of any presidential campaign. this is one of issues that bubbles up and can derail a campaign ef

sanjay gupta joins us now to talk about this. really? it's one of the questions i get more than any other, why do allergies, are they increasing in all these various areas? for a long time we simply didn't know. i think the reaction from the medical community was let's just withhold peanuts. let's just say let's just keep kids away from peanuts as long as possible hoping that addresses the problem. as you pointed out, that made the problem far worse even. the study was a big study. it was published in the new england journal of medicine. it was a legitimate study. the kids who got the peanuts early they were 10th to develop peanut allergies. >> doesn't it make you wonder why we have trouble with peanut allergies in the first place? most people until recently didn't have peanut allergies but now kids do en masse. they ate peanut butter right? >> they ate peanut butter. have you heard of the hygiene hypothesis this idea of keeping things very clean somehow we thought would be beneficial but, in fact was making things worse. so you know 15

sanjay gupta. good to see you again. lot of people don't know this or take it seriously but it is a very serious disease and can be really dangerous for infants. >> yeah it can be particularly dangerous for the youngest among us for a couple reasons. one, obviously they are more likely to be able to get the infection because the vaccine is not given until after one year of age. just as a baseline they are more likely to become infected. if you look at all the various potential complications, deafness being one of them other neurological problems people having significant problems with breathing, in fact severe pneumonia is usually the most common cause of death in someone with measles. i do want to say, the death rate is still relatively low depending on your perspective, one out of 1,000 or so children will succumb to this type of infection. but this is obviously concerning. we don't know why this particular day care has been affected like this. >> i get asked this all the time. i know the answer but i'm going to ask yo

sanjay gupta. we have all sorts of questions for you.bout it? what is it? how bad is it? >> this is an organism that's been around for some time. we call it a super bug because typical traditional antibiotics don't really work well on these bacteria. they're really hard to kill. part of the reason they've become so hard to kill is because we've tried to kill them with antibiotics and they evolve. >> this organism releases an enzyme that inactive vats the antibiotic. they're smart bugs. they've been around for some time. the idea of scopes being linked to this has been around for some time. we're hearing about this because of what's happened at ucla. doctors, people who have been dealing with antibiotic resistance have been thinking about this for several years now. >> explain this are scopes spreading it? >> in a sort of unconventional sense. this organism can live in certain parts of our body totally fine in our gutt not cause a problem at all. so scope goes in does its job, also pulls a little bit of the bacteria out. goes to get clean

sanjay gupta. so sanjay what you saw in gary piece, this couple's baby was just a few months old, too young to get the measles vaccination. so what do you do if you have a kid that's too young to get vaccinated? >> well that is why this principle of what is known as herd immunity matters so much. it means that when you're getting your child vaccinated you're helping your child, preventing your child from getting infection but helps others as well. think of it as the people who can't get vaccinated and besides too young, other people as well that can't get vaccinated. people who may be have a certain, cancer or compromised immune system women that are pregnant or may become pregnant. it's a pretty big group when you put it all together. but if there are a lot of people vaccinated in the country, over 90%, you essentially think of those people as developing a sort of herd around people who can't get vaccinated they kind of prevent the measles virus from getting in to the vulnerable people. >> what can

sanjay gupta. he explains it all on "new day" new you. the studies say you're better off sitting on your couch eating bran flakes. >> that's what you took away from the studies, huh? they are interesting studies. we have to pay attention to them. they followed over 1 million women for nine years. i'll give you the headline in a second. what they were trying to do, john i'll prep this by saying what is the sweet spot in terms of exercise? what's going to give you the most benefit in terms of reducing your risk of heart disease. as you say, more is not necessarily always better. so again, 1 million women over nine years. let's take a look at the numbers here. look specifically at women who rarely or never exercise and their risk of heart disease, 5.2%. if you exercise two or three times a week it goes down significantly there. 3.5%. this is what you were paying attention to a lot of people are, john, daily. if you started exercising daily, 4.3% risk of heart disease. still better than if you never exercise at all but not quite as good if yo

sanjay gupta says you still need to watch what you eat.earlier. >> people are going to hear news like this and think it's a free pass to do whatever they want to do. let me show you these dietary guidelines. these are the scientific basis for the guidelines that come out every five years, 572 pages. in there, they talk about the fact that cholesterol in and of itself will not be considered a nutrient that is of concern for overconsumption. that was the headline that grabbed everyone's attention. we don't have to worry about cholesterol anymore. they're saying if you look at cholesterol in the body the vast majority is produced by our bodies. 85% is produced within the body and only about 15% is from what we consume. that's the point they're making. the consumption part doesn't add to the cholesterol as much as our own bodies do. not to say if you high cholesterol it shouldn't still be treated, but that the eating of it probably doesn't contribute to the overall number as much as they thought in the past. >> members of the nutrition panel s

sanjay gupta. and this is "weed two: cannabis madness."his time our journey begins in new jersey, ironically called the garden state. it's the summer of 2013. a quiet neighborhood diner about to become the site of a headline-making confrontation. between a frantic father, brian wilson, and the outspoken governor, chris christie, all over wilson's 2-year-old daughter, vivian. >> what's the holdup? it's been two months now. >> sir, these are complicated issues. >> it's very simple. >> i know you think it's simple. >> it was a david and goliath moment. you've got a governor who is one of the leading republicans in the nation, and this dad who has got a little girl who he's desperately worried and in love with who just wants to do the best thing for her. >> you see, brian wilson's daughter, vivian, was dying. her brain continuously locked in seizures and nothing had worked. the wilsons were pinning their hopes on medical marijuana. they read about marijuana on the internet and saw stories about it saving lives. like little charlotte, whose sto

we tackle more of those questions with chief medical correspondent sanjay gupta. one of the major concerns i hear from parents is so many vaccines are given in a short period of time, is there a danger in that and is there a danger of spreading vaccines over a period of time as some parents do? >> with regard to the first, this idea we're taking too many vaccines, that's a problem that's become unsafe in some way, there's no science to back that up. and something we put together to make that point. it's a graph that shows how much of a load of vaccine we used to give and take a look back in 1980. 3500. that number doesn't really mean anything to you but that's the amount of antigens, sort of the vaccine given to people and now, we give about 125, 150. you can see that line in 2015. during that same time, autism rates went up. so despite the fact that we in fact give less vaccine now -- >> that's interesting. >> the autism rates have gone up. it's an interesting point to make. no science to suggest we give vaccines to the point because so many of them it's unsafe.

sanjay gupta has been looking at this.right outside of the studio when i was grilling you on this. what's your take on this? >> i think it's a very big deal. i think this is a big study. it's a good study. this has been a divisive issue within medicine for some time. i get this question all the time. why are peanut allergies going up? the answer has changed as a result of this study. these were high-risk children. children who already had allergies. so there was a concern about these children. they did skin tests on them so a kid with a catastrophic reaction was eliminated from the study. kids who had sensitivity were in the study. half the group got bepeanuts an others did not. as young as 4 months an age they got an extract. 14 out 2 out of 100. you don't see data like this. sevenfold different between the two groups. >> that's the thing. the results here are staggering which begs the question, how could we not know this if it's that obvious in a simple study? you can't send a peanut within 100 miles of your kids' school

martin pistorius allowed our chief medical correspondent, sanjay gupta, to review his medical recordsjoins us now. i just find this incredible and terrifying at the same time. with implications for other people. for him to have regained consciousness after 12 years and be present after the first two years, even though doctors thought he was in some kind of a vegetative state, how often does something like that happen? >> to your point, it seems to be happening more than we realize and when you think about vegetative state, by definition, it means people have no awareness. they could be a sort of in a wakeful state, eye opening or even yawns, like that, but no awareness. that's the definition. so when someone like martin, for 12 years, they thought he was in a vegetative state but had awareness, it's frightening. there's numbers in the united states, about 25,000 people who have this diagnosis of vegetative state. what they are doing is by doing more and more scans of the brain and by simply look manage the eyes and things like that to see if they control the eye movements to commands

sanjay gupta and seth manuga autism vaccine controversy, director of m.i.t.'am in science writing. parents in gary's report laid out the biggest concerns for parents choosing not to vaccinate, one is that there's just too many shots and given too early. what do you say? what does science say? >> we've heard that circulating quite a bit. the number of shots and people equate that saying is this too much of an insult to the child's body and their immune system? the answer is that it's not and in fact if you look over time you'll find that the amount of vaccine that we actually give has decreased. i have a graph i want to show quickly if i can, anderson. take a look. the graph on the left side reflects the amount of vaccine, the amount of antigen dating back to 1980. close to 3500 is the number there and it's come dramatically down over the last 30 40 years. and so we give a lot less vaccine despite the fact that the number of actual shots are higher the amount of mode is much lower and still you see the autism rates have continued to go up. we don't give as much

sanjay gupta says rand's assertions are absolutely untrue. >> we don't know what causes autism. i mean that's fair to say. we're not sure in the scientific community what causes autism but we know that vaccines do not. >> yet politicians who are not medical doctors can't keep quiet. while visiting a british facility where they make vaccines new jersey governor chris christie said parents should have some measure in choice in the matter and later he walked back the comments. hillary clinton weighed in too, tweeting the science is clear, the earth is round, the sky is blue and vaccines work. let's protect all our kids. grandmother knows best. true but perhaps that tweet should have been directed at the mostly mostly wealthy liberal types and hollywood types who believe vaccinations cause autism. brea'anna keilar is our senior correspondent and senior white house correspondent jim accosta joins us too. you're getting news about the immunization program? >> that's right, carol. we've been talking about the president's 2016 budget and a lot of numbers in there, but one number that st
