It’s Meningitis Monday! Meningitis for all! Do you see a pale house? And his name that sat on him was Death. Robert F Kennedy Jr has just decided that our children should not be immunized against several diseases, among them meningitis. Meningitis spreads FAST and kills 1 in 6.

Kennedy’s ACIP 2.0 is as expected. Headlined by charlatans that have nothing to lose and will rubber stamp ludicrous policies. I strongly urge my fellow healthcare providers to speak up and be unafraid. We must ensure there is accountability through collective action.
We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.
