An urgent health alert has been issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as the United States witnesses a sharp increase in the incidence of invasive meningococcal disease.
According to CDC, meningococcal disease “refers to any illness caused by bacteria called Neisseria meningitidis. These illnesses are often severe, can be deadly, and include infections of the lining of the brain and spinal cord (meningitis) and bloodstream.”
Transmission occurs through close contact, prompting urgent calls for individuals with symptoms to seek care promptly to improve outcomes with timely antibiotic treatment.
With 422 cases recorded last year, this figure marks the highest annual case count since 2014, FOX News reported.
In the latest update from the agency, 143 cases have been reported as of March 25, which is 62 more than were reported at the same time in the previous year.
The CDC has identified the predominant strain responsible for the outbreak as serogroup Y ST-1466, which seems to disproportionately affect adults between the ages of 30 and 60, accounting for 65% of cases.
Additionally, the disease has been particularly prevalent among Black or African American individuals, who represent 63% of cases, and people with HIV, comprising 15% of the total.
This invasive strain has also been associated with a higher fatality rate compared to previous years. Out of 94 patients, 17 have succumbed to the infection — translating to a distressing fatality rate of 18%.
To put this into perspective, between 2017 and 2021, the fatality rate stood at 11%, while the typical rate ranges from 10% to 15%, even with antibiotic intervention, according to CDC data.

P
Illegal aliens bringing all manner of infection in unfettered.
All by design.
Wonder what is causing all the new disease breakouts?
Wonder who is making all the large food companies have catastrophic events tearing them down?
Wonder who is molesting, raping, injuring average Americans going about their day?
Wonder who is increasing our budget deficit with benefits American citizens never got in need?
Wonder who is causing many accidents and injuries with no license or insurance?
Wonder who is stealing autos?
ALL /s !!! Everyone with a brain knows. May this implode on the ones spreading this evil.
They want this to occur
A welcome side effect to natural born citizens here, which they want to destroy
Wherever did it come from?
We may never know.
Any correlation between the victims and the magic vaccines?
I had viral meningitis almost 40 yrs ago which I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. Can’t imagine how much worse bacterial meningitis would be.
They’ve yet to realize all that might affect their kids and grandkids. Chickens coming home to roost.
Time for another mass vaxxing!
Well, lookee here, from the CDC...

“...N. meningitidis is found worldwide, but incidence is greatest in the “meningitis belt” of sub-Saharan Africa (Map 5-01). Meningococcal disease is hyperendemic in this region, and periodic epidemics during the dry season (December–June) reach an incidence of up to 1,000 cases per 100,000 population. By contrast, rates of disease in Australia, Europe, South America, and the United States range from 0.10–2.4 cases per 100,000 population per year....”
Explains a lot, doesn’t it...
Bacterial, not viral
FWIW. the info I’ve seen on vaxx related meningitis has been aseptic meningitis.
This increase looks like it’s immigration related.
