Sepsis. Meningitis. Meningococcal. Septicaemia. Pneumococcal. Bacterial. What does it all mean?
These are all words we use to describe life-threatening infection, but we understand it can be confusing. @BioSciFan explains: meningitis.org/blogs/differe…

As a #thalidomide survivor, I am outraged that my disability is being used by anti-vaxers; the one good thing that came from our catastrophe is that drugs/vaccines have to be tested rigorously before licensed for use. It is precisely the opposite to what you are claiming.

Are scientists being silenced? A new survey from @Nature suggests that environmental research is being downplayed and in some cases suppressed. What do you think about this?
Environmental scientists in Australia say that they are under increasing pressure from their employers to downplay research findings or avoid communicating them at all. go.nature.com/3ciL9LI

'COVID-19 has made people forget about other illnesses, like meningitis – but they’re still here and still deadly. Meningitis has not gone away.'

UK trusts scientists most to make decisions on the NHS #COVID19 recovery. Despite ‘the science’ often being uncertain/controversial, @incisivehealth polling implies scientists directly delivering advice to the public via the media engendered trust incisivehealth.com/uk-trusts… @Stempra
