...so quite apart from the fact that covid itself reduces immunity, it appears that the removal of pandemic measures created susceptible hosts for #meningococcal bacteria . Further, those pandemic measures demonstrate that #masks & reduced contact are *highly effective* to stop spread

As I read about the causes of meningitis ftom this website, I learned that
- 10% of the university students can carry #meningococcal bacteria in the throat.
- asymptomatic cases can transmit
- immunosuppressed students can develop severe disease
- crowded indoor conditions can spread it 7/

"when there is a case of #meningococcal disease, there is a slightly increased risk of illness in close contacts of that case. Close contacts include family and household members" 6/

"Meningitis and septicaemia can affect anyone, but certain factors can increase the risk:" 3/

-Babies with weak immune systems
-Teenagers & young adults in school & university who might carry #meningococcal ACWY or B bacteria in their throat
- seniors with Streptococcus pneumoniae

Aaarrrghh! The cover-up begins…

Aaarrrghh! The cover-up begins… The WHO page about Meningococcal Meningitis & its modes of transmission (including the word ‘AEROSOL’) has just been removed from their website.

No, this page change is not evidence of a “cover-up.”
What it really shows is how quickly a single word can be turned into a scandal, without properly identifying the pathogen’s actual mode of transmission.
