They Said I Was Drunk. I Had Meningitis
Everyone was laughing. I was eleven years old, and in the early stages of meningococcal meningitis. Nobody recognized how sick I was, including my parents.

Any physician who has cared for a child with meningococcal meningitis is appalled that the meningococcal vaccine will no longer be recommended by the CDC. It is a horrible and preventable illness and kills and maims very quickly. 😢

It is untrue that you can't vaccinate against bacteria. Leaving aside tetanus and diphtheria, since we really only vaccinate against their toxins - pertussis, meningococcal acwy, pneumococcus, typhoid and tuberculosis are all very successful bacterial vaccines.

Yes Pierre. Vaccines being so bad. Who can forget polio, smallpox, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), polio, Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib), rotavirus, hepatitis B, measles, mumps, rubella, chickenpox, pneumococcal and meningococcal diseases. Are those mandates evil too?
