After 8-year-old son dies, Northwest Indiana family urges vaccination against meningitis-causing bacteria
It's back-to-school week for tens of thousands of students in the Chicago area, and at this time of year, sicknesses creep up with kids being in close quarters. With that in mind, a grieving Northwest Indiana family wants to share a message about vaccinating children. Lake Prairie Elementary School in Lowell, Indiana, will be chirping with activity for the first day of school soon. Liam Dahlberg will not be there to start fourth grade. "He was one-of-a-kind," said Liam's still-tearful mom, Ashlee Dalhberg. "Anybody that knew him, described him as a walking angel on earth." Liam is now an angel in heaven. His parents, Ashlee and Erik Dahlberg, want to share the tragedy that robbed them of their 8-year-old — they showed CBS News Chicago videos of Liam looking completely out-of-it in the emergency room. "That Thursday turned his world upside down, and ours as well," said Erik Dahlberg. The Thursday in question transpired in April of this year. After a normal day of school, Liam got off the bus and complained of a headache. "We gave him ibuprofen, and he went outside and was playing with his friends for a while," said Erik Dahlberg. "Then he came back in and said he had a headache again." The family from Lowell took Liam to a local hospital after he began hallucinating. He was quickly transferred to the Comer Children's Hospital at the University of Chicago. "He had over 100,000 white blood cells in his spinal fluid," said Ashlee Dahlberg. It was a sign that Liam's body was fighting a severe infection. That battle caused meningitis — meaning Liam's brain swelled. "We were just trying to cheer him on, trying to pull him through — hoping for that slight miracle that he would come through," said Ashlee Dahlberg. Liam died around 3 a.m. that Saturday — only 36 hours after getting off the bus with a headache. "I just don't want anyone else to go through what we've gone through for something that is so preventable," said Ashlee Dahlberg. Indeed, what happened to Liam is vaccine preventable. Dr. Allison Bartlett, a pediatric infectious disease expert at Comer, knows all about that. "I'm really glad for people who have the courage to speak up and share their stories," Bartlett said. Dr. Bartlett did not work personally on Liam's case, but her colleagues did. They noted in his hospital record, "We are suspicious for Haemophilus influenzae Type B," also known as HIB. Haemophilus influenzae are a type of bacteria. "There are years where there's not even 20 cases in the country," said Bartlett. Disease caused by HIB decreased by 99% after vaccines were introduced in the late 1980s and early 1990s. "How is HIB still out there? There is not much of it around, which is great," said Bartlett. "But it's not completely gone. And it's probably more likely present in someone who is not vaccinated." Liam had all his shots. But about 20% of Lake County, Indiana kids are not vaccinated for HIB, according to state health data. HIB immunization rates across the state dropped during the COVID-19 pandemic, and are still recovering. "As levels of vaccinations surrounding them decrease, it increases the risk for the individual who happened to not respond to the vaccine," said Bartlett. That was what happened to Liam. And with their son gone, the Dahlbergs will do anything to help their message. "Please do the vaccinations," said Ashlee Dahlberg. "If we can persuade one parent who is on the fence about vaccine or not vaccine, then it's all worth it," said Erik Dahlberg. Indiana does not require the HIB vaccine, but recommends it to go to daycare or preschool. Illinois mandates the vaccine.

Sinking land is driving down home values in California's Central Valley, study shows
Sinking ground in California's Central Valley is causing property values to sink, according to a new study by UC Riverside. "When we see droughts, we see larger subsidence, we see more extraction of groundwater, we see larger subsidence, and that's a sign for many other problems, like water availability, job availability and so on," said Mehdi Nemati, author and UC Riverside Enviro Economics and Policy assistant professor. Professor Nemati is part of a group of researchers looking into how excessive groundwater pumping is impacting the housing market. To determine how this sinking is impacting home values, researchers used satellite-based radar data to measure ground-level changes. They compared data on impacted areas in eight counties to nearly 200,000 home sale transactions, including San Joaquin and Stanislaus counties. Researchers found the average losses ranged between $6,689 to as much as $16,165 per home. They estimated that losses totaled $1.87 billion across the region from 2015 to 2021. One of the areas most impacted is San Joaquin County. "What we see is in areas that are heavily dependent on agriculture jobs, and these areas also see larger impact of subsidence on housing value, which, again, that means subsidence is a sign of many other things, including labor market," Nemati said. "If you heavily depend on agriculture, that means less jobs and other things, which translates into housing value." He also points to home buyers not wanting to buy properties where the land is unstable. Insurance limitations and higher maintenance costs from bad foundations and sinking roads are also making an impact, according to the study. CBS Sacramento asked a realtor in Lodi if they've had any discussions about land subsidence impacting home values in the area. "We do have regular meetings once a week at the board, which is a meeting and tour, and there's discussions of a variety of things, and there hasn't been any discussion of that at all," Schaffer and Co Realtors Co-Owner Margo Cook shared. While realtors say the sinking ground hasn't swallowed up the housing boom just yet, researchers say the concern is there so long as the ground continues to drop. "We can come up with a better understanding of where we are, what are the costs, and so, what are some of the benefits and what we can do in terms of policy in general?" Nemati said. Nemanti said this issue isn't unique to just California. Desert communities like those in Arizona and Utah are also experiencing significant sinking of the land. He hopes this study and the methods they used can be utilized by other areas in the U.S. and around the world.

CDC employees recount when gunman fired at least 180 shots at buildings: "Shocking but not surprising"
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention employees in Atlanta on Monday recalled the harrowing moment a gunman fired nearly 200 shots at multiple office buildings last week, killing a responding police officer. Four CDC workers, who were not authorized to speak publicly, told CBS News under the condition of anonymity that they were "deeply disappointed and frustrated" by an apparent lack of leadership following Friday's shooting. Three of the four employees are mothers and all of them had differing experiences of the gunfire: one was inside a building standing in a window that would be later shot out, one was inside the daycare with her children, one was walking to their car and another was at home. "I was walking to my car. I heard a very, very distinct and crisp pop, pop, pop, pop," one CDC employee said. "I knew that I had to get myself to safety because if I continued walking across the courtyard, I could potentially be in a killing field." The pops heard were among at least 180 shots hitting at least 150 windows and doors on the CDC campus, according to two people with direct knowledge of the investigative findings from the ongoing probe of the shooting. Glass shards were propelled 30 to 60 feet into multiple rooms. A second CDC worker said she wasn't sure at first whether the sounds she heard were construction noise or gunshots, then she saw a daycare teacher running with three kids. The noise changed when the bullets began hitting her building, she said. She recalled sheltering in place in her building for 2 hours without knowing where the gunman was. The shooter, identified as 30-year-old Patrick Joseph White, died during the incident, police said. It remains unclear whether White died by self-inflicted gunshot or by police gunfire. His motive is still unknown at this stage of the investigation, Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens said on Friday. Several of White's neighbors told CBS News that he was outspokenly against vaccines, and a law enforcement source said authorities were looking into the possibility that the gunman believed the COVID-19 vaccines had made him sick. When asked whether they "saw this" coming, another employee said, "I wouldn't say we saw it coming. I would say more that it wasn't a surprise." "The CDC's been vulnerable for a really long time," she said. "It's shocking but not surprising." The last employee told CBS News that she was leaving a daycare located in front of the CDC campus with her children and heading toward her car when they heard gunshots. She said she sprinted back into the daycare and hid with about eight children inside the bathroom, the only place without windows. "My kids kept asking what was that loud popping noise," she said. "I'm still figuring out how this has affected my children." Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy on Monday visited the CDC headquarters, seeing the damage and meeting with the widow of the police officer killed, David Rose. In a statement on Monday, the HHS referred to Kennedy's remarks shared in his X post on Saturday: "We are deeply saddened by the tragic shooting at CDC's Atlanta campus that took the life of officer David Rose. We stand with his wife and three children and the entire CDC family." At a news conference following Kennedy's visit, a spokesperson for the CDC Union AFGE Local 2883, which represents approximately 2,300 members, said the group found out about the shooting before the CDC sent a systemwide alert. The union criticized Kennedy following his visit, saying, "He spent less time on the ground than the attacker did." They called for improved communication, as well as stepped up security, including 24/7 perimeter armed guards across campuses, installation of bulletproof glass, weapon detection measures and more extensive evacuation planning. The CDC employees who spoke to CBS News said they expect more from the health secretary, hoping he would condemn the rhetoric that they believe led to the shooting. "I think the challenge is that it would be hard for anyone to trust that he's sincere," one employee said in reference to Kennedy, who has been criticized for his past anti-vaccine statements. "He has been trashing ... the whole administration has been trashing the CDC and the work that we do."Anna Schecter contributed to this report.
