The 2nd video explains that. Spinal injection treatment with methylprednisolone. The fungus is found readily in the environment and normally filtered out through the lungs, but when injected into the spine, it goes straight to the brain. Five people have died (from fungal meningitis), over 50 have been affected already throughout the US. The compounding pharmacies that make the stuff are not being regulated by the FDA, so anything could end up in your spine/brain.
Investigators report that the injections aren't doing what they were intended for... that the procedure's risks far outweigh any benefits.
