Tents, signs, protests and chants are all the rage these days for showing our growing distrust of government and big corporations.

Through whooping cough, measles and diphtheria.
Yup. Stats from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have gone totally retro, with old-school diseases coming back stronger than pencil skirts. Why?
