I've had the pleasure of knowing Nick since 1985. The fortitude he displayed upon recovering from this disease in 1999-2000-and has since shown-is nothing short of admirable. He has taken this unfortunate occurrence, and completely turned it into a positive: both by winning multiple gold medals in Paralympic and World Cup Wheelchair Rugby, and by speaking to groups to educate them about this bacterial form of meningitis and the vaccine as well. Thanks Nick for being a great inspiration & friend!

They do have a voice but their side effects from the vaccine are much less invasive and rarely even occur. Whereas this ACTUAL disease KILLS!!!!!

What about people who have been injured by the meningitis vaccine? How come these people do not have a voice?
