Gay Meningitis Continues to Advance Like Wildfire

Again, wholly predictable, except to the mental midgets who are expected to save everyone:

As cases of meningitis, a rare and potentially fatal disease, popped up in cities nationwide over the past several years, public health officials noticed a trend: many of those infected were gay men.

There’s no known medical reason why meningitis, which is transmitted through saliva, would spread more among gay and bisexual men. Yet New York, Chicago and now Southern California have experienced outbreaks disproportionately affecting that population.

“It is perplexing,” said Dr. Rachel Civen, a medical epidemiologist at L.A. County’s Department of Public Health…

Meningitis cases in L.A. and Orange counties are thought to be connected because lab testing showed that many patients were infected with the same strain of meningococcus, known as serotype C.

“Certainly my patients have shown concern that something is running through the community like wildfire,” said Dr. Jay Gladstein, an internal medicine doctor in downtown L.A. who mostly treats gay and bisexual men. If patients survive the infection, it can still cause permanent brain damage or hearing loss…

It is impossible to imagine why gays may be getting infected at a higher rate. Remember – these are the eggheads whose brilliance will save you when the big one hits. If limiting the spread of the pandemic requires these characters acknowledging that gays may be semi-responsible due to irresponsible behavior, a lot of people are going to die.

But among L.A.’s cluster of 13 cases between late 2013 and mid-2014, 31% were HIV-positive and therefore could have had weakened immune systems, Civen said. Only one of this year’s meningitis patients was HIV-positive.

As with other pathogens, there is a similar pattern. A disease emerges in the AIDS infected community. There, it cooks, adapting to the human immune system in a weakened form and gaining strength. Eventually it begins to get strong enough to jump into the non-AIDS infected gay community.

Mark my words, the gay population will be an integral element of the next pandemic. And the population which will bear the brunt of what they produce will be the liberal populations in LA, NY, Miami, Austin, and other left wing destinations.

L.A. County and Long Beach health departments are giving out free vaccines to all gay men.

Imagine what will happen when everyone is broke and starving, and political leaders propose using public funds to help an out-group that is afflicted with a disease that is easily preventable. Right now, we are practically burning hundred dollar bills by the pile, and this stuff is still advancing.

When the resources are gone, the pandemic will come – and it might not even wait.
