On Meningitis-B outbreak in Kent: UKHSA sequencing classed this Men-B as ST-485, part of clonal complex cc41/44. 41/44 is in fact one of the well-known "hyperinvasive" clones of Neisseria meningitidis. i.e. has additional virulence factors making invasive illness more likely.

MENINGITIS B TRANSMISSION There’s been a lot of discussion online and in the media about how exactly Meningitis B spreads. A lot of it is conflicting & confusing. So let’s put opinions & hearsay aside and take a proper look at what the latest science actually tells us… 🧵

@Oldboatie @_CatintheHat @sammons_pamela They cost money. And ventilation costs money. If you tell people they need to wash their hands it's their problem. If you admit transmission is airborne it suddenly becomes expensive

Nightclub owner at centre of meningitis outbreak says “something isn’t making sense” - as TWO staff in hospital. “There's been a lot of talk about how hard it is to transmit… …but actually, it was transmitted a LOT more easily, by the looks of it, than they're suggesting” 🧵

I still keep seeing people say "Covid can't have caused this" and at first I think they mean "Ongoing covid infections can't have caused this" but what they actually mean is "having to stay at home for ten weeks six years ago can't have caused this".

Anyone receiving MenB vaccination as part of outbreak control measures needs to be aware that it takes 1-2 weeks for the immune response to develop and that a second dose is needed later. This is why prompt antibiotic prophylaxis is essential for close contacts of MenB cases.

@BBCHughPym Please can someone in the media join the dots between this outbreak and the findings of the Covid inquiry M3 report published earlier today: “In future, guidance should assume that *ALL* plausible routes of transmission are possible until sufficient evidence proves otherwise.”

MENINGITIS TRANSMISSION Below is the UK Green Book & WHO info about transmission of the meningococcus bacteria which is responsible for the current Meningitis outbreak in Kent. Note use of the word “AEROSOL” in both. 🔗 assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6849adb8… 🔗 who.int/teams/health-p…

Is it possible to already conclude that no matter what UKHSA come up with as an explanation of the “explosive “ meningitis outbreak , it will NEVER EVER (be allowed to ) involve : - airborne transmission - COVID induced immune dysfunction

Meningitis IS contagious Yours sincerely An Infectious Diseases specialist
Jacqui Deevoy@JacquiDeevoy1

Meningitis is NOT contagious, so what’s with all the nonsense? As my friend Kat Watkins says on FB today: “Meningitis is an infection in the brain caused by toxins passing the blood brain barrier. You cannot 'catch' it, it's not contagious 🙄🙄 So all this closing of schools is just theatre. It's to scare you into making sure you jab yourselves and your kids up. How many of those who have presented with meningitis, had the covid vax? Since its a side effect? As well as a side effect of many other jabs 🤷🤷”

And now I’m in Twitter jail and my posts are being actively SUPPRESSED. Curious how this happened almost exactly half an hour before the release of the Covid Inquiry Module 3 report 🤔

My X/Twitter account has been locked down TWICE already this week. I’ve managed to get it unlocked again, but it’s frustrating that this keeps happening and I suspect the visibility of my posts is being suppressed as a result 😢

These students were probably living in closely packed, ancient, poorly ventilated rooms. Spread of disease is inevitable. Many illnesses are more airborne than we'd like to think. It's sad that we didn't learn anything from the pandemic about proper ventilation.
BBC Kent@BBCRadioKent

Kent's meningitis outbreak is deeply unusual and defies easy explanation, according to our health and science correspondent. More here: bbc.in/4smkWCr

.@wesstreeting @Keir_Starmer if you ignore this, how are you any different to the @Conservatives? You have another public health crisis and you are still issuing surgical masks and making light of a spreading disease. Lead by Prof Susan Hopkins, UKHSA - Why?

Here’s the link to the two sets of minutes from the IPC Cell meeting on 22 Dec 2020: 1. Original draft minutes (obtained by FOI, but seemingly never disclosed to the Inquiry): ia801407.us.archive.org/23/items/infec… 2.

@BBCHughPym you’ve been sitting on your hands for 6 years, time to be a journalist. @PrivateEyeNews anything to say?

@jim_reed If this thread has piqued your interest & you’d like to find out more about the chain of decisions which led to the inadequate infection control guidance we have today, please see my megathread below which walks you through some of the shocking evidence from the Covid Inquiry ⬇️
