If anyone tells you that someone has died (or become ill) as a result of bacterial meningitis the definitive test, apparently, is via a lumbar puncture. Not nice. So the 'authorities' bypass this troublesome procedure by performing a PCR test - like the one used to 'test' for the fake disease, COVID 19. Don't take my word for it. Here's the current sage on these matters, Google Gemini. "The gold standard for diagnosing bacterial meningitis is cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) culture combined with Gram staining, obtained via lumbar puncture. While culture is the definitive diagnostic standard, CSF PCR (polymerase chain reaction) is often used." So, if some journalist tells you in a news report that someone has become sick or died as a result of Meningitis "infection" you can safely assume that this is total bullshit.
