It amazes me that people still believe that vaccinations lead to autism. The doctor that first made this claim has been de-licensed by medical authorities because he lied about his findings.

Meningitis vaccines are not given that young, I’m pretty sure.
Just did 4-month vaccines, they were also given at 8 weeks. Here is what he got:
DTaP / Hep B / IPV
Hib (PRP-T)
Pneumococcal Conjugate
Rotavirus Pentavalent

I think people need to understand that meningitis can have different causes (viral vs bacterial).
And I hate anti vaxxers. Especially since those frickers likely were vaccinated as children themselves so they are protected from the diseases that could kill their children.

I have a friend with 5 kids. Not a single one vaccinated. My SO thinks I’m joking, but their kids will not be allowed around our’s. If they get something like measles or some shite, I’m gonna flip shite.

So, the kid was at a daycare and was possibly exposed to someone who wasn't vaccinated against Meningitis. They don't vaccinate people against Meningitis until they are 12...so every child in the daycare should not have been vaccinated. The vaccine wasn't developed until 2005 and the Group B vaccine wasn't introduced until 2015.

CDC recommends vaccination with a meningococcal conjugate vaccine for all preteens and teens at 11 to 12 years old, with a booster dose at 16 years old. Teens and young adults (16 through 23 year olds) also may be vaccinated with a serogroup B meningococcal vaccine.

My moms had it 3 times. Sometimes vaccines just don’t work on people man
But, you should 100% still get vaccinated. Anyone who thinks differently is a mental midget

They don’t vaccinate against a specific type (meningococcal) until that age.
They vaccinate against the most common causes of meningitis in young infants starting at 2 mos.
Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine
Hib (less common, but incredibly destructive, big problem used to be epiglottitis)
There are a multitude of causes of meningitis, including viruses, an example being herpes.

Because it's funded by benefactors outside of these countries. After a 10 second google search:

The goal of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative’s (GPEI) is to eradicate polio by 2019.
It is a partnership between:
the World Health Organization (WHO)
Rotary International
the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention UNICEF
the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
Since its establishment in 1988, the GPEI has achieved significant results. The number of polio cases has been reduced by 99.99 %. This is a drop from an estimated 350,000 cases per year in more than 125 countries, down to 37 cases in 2016 in the final three remaining endemic countries (Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nigeria). The type 2 strain of wild poliovirus was officially certified as eradicated in 2015, leaving two strains of wild poliovirus remaining. Despite the strong progress towards eradicating the disease, there is still difficulty in interrupting poliovirus transmission in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria. This demonstrates the importance of providing adequate surveillance, high levels of immunization coverage and the ability to respond quickly to outbreaks.

So, one would ask if their kid was vaccinated against this. The response is, the 4 month old's immune system isn't developed enough for the vaccine to be effective. Then one would ask...so, could another immunized child have been an asymptomatic carrier? If the immunization isn't effective on this 4 month old, could it have been another sub-2 year old that had been immunized but was still carrying the virus?

You need new friends. That’s grounds for ending a friendship imo. I can’t be friends with complete idiots.

meningitis vaccines weren't required just a few years ago.
i'm not even sure they are required in all public schools yet.
people survive meningitis.
it's not quite on the level of polio/mumps/measles.
but i agree. everyone should be vaccinated for the standard vaccinations.
