I want to be very clear on this. You can be out drinking with your friends on Friday night and dead on Sunday because of meningitis. Does that sound a little specific? Guess why I have such a specific scenario in mind.

And getting vaccinated is an easy way to prevent that. There is no medical reason to stop recommending that vaccine. There's no new study that shows that it's unsafe, there's no replacement that's better. This is literally the government making its citizenry less safe for no reason.

Meningitis kills so quickly because it is inflammation in the protective layers around your brain and spinal cord. The infection shuts down your body in hours because the swelling literally cuts off your central nervous system from the rest of the body.

This is especially dangerous for children, not just because they are smaller, but because they are often unable to fully articulate to their caregivers what they are feeling, so it may just look like a fussy kid with a run-of-the-mill fever, rather than a serious medical emergency.

VACCINATE YOUR CHILDREN FOR MENINGITIS (and everything else too, but especially meningitis).
