The three affected individuals are between 20 and 30 years old and began experiencing symptoms between July 15-17, according to a news release from Toronto Public Health on Thursday.
Most invasive meningococcal disease is associated with a bacteria called Neisseria meningitidis, which causes an infection to the lining of the brain, spinal cord and bloodstream. More specifically, the infection can be spread by kissing, coughing, and sharing common items such as eating utensils, cups, cigarettes, and musical instruments.The disease is known to progress quickly and complications include low blood pressure, seizures, loss of hearing, amputations, brain damage or death.
This is as a result of not being the MMR vaccine I believe ? I got my vaccine so I believe I'm good! I watched a literal Law & Order episode about these mothers not vaccinating their kids and then they get the measles as a result... just had to tweet that
Prove it
They weren't born in Canada but there birth place is unknown 🤔🤔🤔 hmmm maybe no more refugees allowed from anywhere for a long while
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
More fear porn over an infinitesimal risk to the public. 8,511 people died from the seasonal flu in 2018...
This is scary first it was Covid-19 then the monkeypox and now this one.
14 days to flatten the curve. Let’s go!
FANEXPOCANADA is this something we should be concerned about at Fan Expo this weekend?
If you state you don't know where the infected individuals were born, how can you cay they were born outside of Canada in countries that don't provide childhood immunization. You either know you don't! Bad reporting.
My nephew died of Meningococcal meningitis just 6 years ago. The strain he had is NOT included in the standard immunizations. “It’s not common enough for it to be included” but you can pay to have it if you want. Ages of risk of infection is 0-4 and college years.
This is immigration’s fault.
Turdeau is desperate to get the jab going again so he can finish his genocide on Canada
3 people in a city of 6 million is considered a outbreak ?
Oh my. Those poor people didn't have their childhood vaccines then.
have you not had enough of the lies When you report attach a link to your fact checking & research of your articles!
I guess, i can continue working from home for some more months…
That is one bad kind of infection. Stay healthy, Toronto.❤️
So maybe it’s time to start being certain, those NOT vaccinated at particular years, because from other countries - get vaccinated. Vaccinations save lives. Recent absurd refusal to vaccinate is a political hack & a death sentence for many. Try critical thinking *be responsible
New immigrants/refugees is why we are seeing diseases that are around but not prevalent. Kids here get the shot around 1 yr and school age. Why are we not giving full immunizations for those coming to Canada with no health records? Could this be why we are seeing monkeypox?
Let me guess. Vaccine by Moderna
This is not news...
There's that word 'outbreak' again....
Dont worry guys, just keep 2 meter distances
Are vaccines the greatest threat to humanity/human freedom 🙃
Wait for it. It's coming. We are doomed with the Fords running this show. Tory has to go.
I've had 47 boosters can I still get this
wearamask
This is our media, trying to hype everything in our lives. It is not an outbreak! When people are aware of the symptoms, it is treatable. Doctors will prescribe the right medication. Justin Trudeau's COVID delays are a problem for hospital administrators everywhere.
Take some more vaccines! 🤣
CP24 I mean ConstantPanic24 determined to continue the FearMongering by acting as if meningitis is new. It's not! CDNMediaFail CanadianMediaFail
Let's get more vaccines so more shit can mutate yay!
Needle a day will keep the doctor away 🤣🤣🤣🤣
So another vaccine?
So? This is normal, every year since forever, we get small outbreaks of meningitis, measles, whooping cough, etc, and we deal with it. No big deal, at least until the media gets a hold of it.
Another disease to worry about and we haven’t been cleared for the other two yet
Why is everyones immune system so weak now that all these past viruses are re-emerging
Oh look more fear mongering.. probably got the vaccine and died from it..
lol lets LOCK down immediately! Has Dr. Eileen Doom-Villa and her flowing scarves held a press conference yet telling people to 'distance distance distance' and ending it with the inimitable and unconvincing 'please take care of each other' ?
Another disease? Give me a break!
I wonder if this guy will agree to get a 'death jab' to fight this disease?😜
Why is all these diseases coming out and back now Crazy
Dear dummies: Those who understand COVID know that it's significantly impacted the immune response of nearly everyone it's infected, which means we as a society are suceptible to new and old diseases which wouldn't typically be an issue. It's not a conspiracy or scare tactics 🙄
Funny enough, initial symptoms are same as COVID. So... Ppl get turned away and to isolate, wait for the test. Since it's bacterial, by the time they are well in to their isolation, the disease has a field day! That's just poor screening in the health system throughout...
Lol, stop
Don't most Canadians get this meningitis vax as kids? So how is this an outbreak? Y'all just a bunch of drama queens
Bullshit
Annoying pharma push
This is meningitis disease. The vaccine has been tested for years unlike the covid-19 vaccine.
Lies
Remember back when there was an outbreak in KW? And ONLY kids in that area had to get the shot in order to go back to school? I remember my sisters and I were mad because we had to get a needle on our holidays. I can't wait for their scare tactics on this one 😁
Cp24
That's not an outbreak. That's an orgy.
Jeez
People really just need to STOP reading the news! Social media is the absolute worst! Can we go back to the good old days please! It’s all about putting fear in people and making people go crazy!
scare tactic. Placing fear all around us
Good thing we have actual vaccines for this.
Disease this and vaccine that bs is getting real old. You lost the narrative and are making every last attempt to uptick that booster shot. Y’all are pathetic.
barangay ( barangay )
I am so out of the GTA the second I retire
Yet people are dying by the 100s of suicide and overdoses and the media and elites do little
My sister passed away from meningitis at the age of 59. The vaccine wasn’t around when we were young.
kirsties98 just keep em comin 🤣
CP24 ARE YOU BECOMING ....E TALK ALL YOU DO IS TALKING ABOUT GOSSIP FROM MOVIE STARS SO MUCH GOING ON AT OUR PLANET. WE DON'T HAVE TO HEAR THAT GOSSIP. AND YOU SHOULD THINK ABOUT HAVING MORE PROFESSIONAL ANCHORS LIKE CTV
Do we need to lockdown again to save the healthcare system, the same way we did for Covid, that actually made system worse?
So let me guess, they have these vaccines which are about to expire and need some arms.
Well. It’s looks as tho if we all got our required vaccines as kids we are good. Unfortunately they were not immunized
And I still don't care, because life is to short to worry about this nonsense. We will never be free from viruses & disease. Death is the only guarantee we have so live your life to the fullest, not hide from it
CP24 is really good at doom and gloom tweets! You guys are a Pilar to the community 👎🏻
yikes
I hope y'all have a great day despite the continued fear mongering from the msm thursdayvibes Inspiration Toronto Ontario
Airport must be running again
Lockdown coming 🙄
FEAR MONGERING
Amazing what happens when you shut down the world and people stop getting the germs they need to build up their immune systems.
No worries. Just two weeks to slow the spread
I guess we just don’t have enough medical problems already. Why not add some more
1 dead, 2 infected and they call it an outbreak....
Recommended age group for vaccination is odd🤔
Why does every news piece about any disease now have to have a picture of a vaccine bottle?
These three aren’t even Toronto residents
Live, eat & drink well. Hope y'all have a great day thursdayvibes Inspiration Toronto Ontario
we’re never gonna get a break😫😫
