"Could the increase in all forms of meningitis and other infectious disease
complications and deaths be because for the last 40+ years, the first thing

The answer is no. Hib menigitis and measles incidence and deaths went down,
thank to vaccines (just to mention two of the diseases which vaccines have
done so much to prevent). So the Question Ms Butler asked is a bad question.
