Well, they CAN...but these days the SHOULDN'T

Yes, it can - but not directly unless you have a bunch of other stuff wrong with you.

How it can kill you is by causing cells to die and creating food for other bugs which can cause pneumonia. Pneumonia will happily end your life if it has the chance. A normal immune system and good general health will stop it at Whooping Cough.
