Typically used to relieve back pain, the steroid, methylprednisolone acetate, was made by New England Compounding Center in Framingham (NECC), Mass., where a leafy mold likely contaminated the product.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 24021337 United States 10/10/2012 08:46 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The report yesterday was that 11 died and 119 infected. Quoting: Ohwell They are telling you it is not an accident and that they are behind it. Call me names if you want but how does that mean that "They are telling you it is not an accident and that they are behind it." ? It's early and my brain isn't functioning at peak capacity. |

When you research long enough, you see the patterns and numbers. E.g The Batman shooting at the Movie theatre called Century 16 is 100 + 16 = 116 or 119 mirrored. 119 leaders attended the General Assembly this year etc. What these numbers mean, I dont know but one thing is clear, they are a statement and are recurring in their dramas.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 25311249 United States 10/10/2012 12:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What seems strange to me is people that havent had the injections are getting the same type of meningitis.Maybe thats normal and as much attention wasnt paid to it as there is now with all the cases due to the injections. There is a lady in Ky with this same type and they say she wont likely live.the Georgia State Senator John Bulloch is in the hospital with it also both had no injections also a judge in Ky has died and his wife is assumong its from the injections in he got in Tennessee.So far no conformation. Just seems like there could be more to this type of outbreak. |
