The San frnacisco Bay Area has had like 4 seperate outbreaks of Meningitis in the last 2 months. Some are viris and others are bacterial. so they arnt related. The newest one that happened the last few days was related to cortozone shots given at a health food, Pharmacy store in Walnut Creek California. thats fucking nuts. you go to the doctor for backpain, he tells you to go to the healthfood store to get a shot. you go home and die. I heard in Ohio they have been having a lot of cases as well. Can anyone tell me if Meningitis is very common and that the media is just more focused or is this just some kind of freakish shit going on?

two teenagers in northern ohio have died of meningitis (bacterial)....and one more case is confirmed...the CDC is issuing vaccinations in the schools where the students were

CDC = Controlled Disease Center? or whatever it stands for. doesnt that scare you when they get involved?

Wouldn't it scare you more if they didn't?

It's not that rare, when I was 18 a girl in my class got it, luckily her boyfriend spotted the signs, and saved her life by getting her to hospital fast. The same week, the entire town, everyone from ages 2-18 got shots.

how often does the CDC get involve with viral or bacterial outbreaks. i mean if its not a pandemic why would they. Thats why im concerned they know shit. That was my point. Sure its nice they do get involved and yes i want them to. but there seems to be a few red flags dangling in our faces.
