And soon cases of meningococcal meningitis will go up, too. How ironic that the guy who survived a brain worm is going to cause kids to suffer from meningitis. It’s like a real life Dumb and Dumber. Except none of this is funny.

It just doesn’t stop. For example, how ironic that the guy who survived a brain worm is going to cause kids to suffer from meningitis from meningococcus which is preventable by a vaccine. It’s like a real life Dumb and Dumber that never ends. Except none of this is funny.

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. 😢

Just an FYI, found out from having a pediatric patient with an elevated blood lead level that grasshoppers from Mexico can contain lead. They are called chapulín

Absolutely insane that somehow she and her husband think she will not be deported and still support him. And that somehow she is better than other illegal immigrants and deserves to be released more than others…. Many of those detained cannot safely return to the countries they came from!
