If you had lost a child to meningitis or through any other possible illness that could possibly have been prevented or live every day watching your child struggle through life because they contracted it, you would understand the way some of us feel. Our children’s lives are worth investing in whatever the cost.

My original post on OFITG’s thread was reported & deleted ... the reason? ... It promoted another website!
I contacted GR & they sent me this reply:
Dear Carol,

Thank you for taking the time to write into us.

We do apologise for our error here. I am sorry for any upset this caused.

Please feel free to re-add this post if you wish.

Kind Regards,


Alex Brett

Thank you GR, it is such a pity that someone thought it necessary to report it.

Carol I am glad GR had the decency to give you a positive reply. God alone knows how some people's minds work on here, they seem to have no consideration for the needs of others.

Take care.

Carol nice to see GR has apologised <3

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"

I would have liked the person who had a problem with my original post to have contacted me, but at least I have been given GR's permission to post it again.

It may just help someone who feels the same, but is being made to feel that they are alone.

Dear Carol Paine

Hello

Hope you are okay.

I saw this on the news.

From this, I understood that NICE had rejected the vaccine on the grounds of
being cost-effective and a lack of clinical evidence.

However, NICE previously with a similar supposed lack of evidence approved a
vaccine for a different strain of meningitis.

Clearly, these people move the goal posts for financing medicines
as and when they feel like it.

I don't like the fact that so many drugs have been developed
but are being restricted. The question has to be why?

And certainly, there is an incredible amount of wasting of money and other resources in the NHS.


Take gentle care
Sincere wishes
Elizabeth, EOS
