I wonder if this is the same Obama imported scourge that paralyzed some kids a while back?

According to the article, yes it is suspected to be the same disease.

“Doctors believe Daniel and the other children may have contracted a rare virus known as acute flaccid myelitis, or AFM - but that hasn’t yet been confirmed.”

Tragic.

That is tragic. Prayer for the little boy’s family. It this the disease thought to be brought in from the illegal invasion?

I feel for the parents and extended family. The pain and anguish may subside over time, but it will never go away.

What a cruel, cruel thing the obama government and his enablers have done to this boy and others.

May God Almighty welcome Daniel into His mercy with open arms where Daniel will cry no more. And prayers for the family for strength and comfort by the Holy Ghost.

The young son of a former colleague was afflicted by this terrible disease. Had to be treated with respirator for almost two weeks. However, the doctors gave him an experimental drug that had shown some promise: fluoxetine - that is the active ingredient of Prozac!

The boy is almost totally recovered now! If that was due to the medicine or something else is too early to say, but further trials will be carried out.

I am sure that, in the mind of Obama and his ilk, the lives of a few kids are a small price to pay for a lot of ethnic votes. Besides, I am sure that they think Americans should get the same diseases as everyone else in the world. I am not kidding or being sarcastic.

No one here thinks you’re kidding.

I feel terrible for this little boy and his family. In the past 6 or seven years the number of strange diseases has skyrocketed thanks to Obama and the open borders people. The amazing thing is they don’t care one bit about this boy dying or anybody else, there is true evil in our midst

Scarier aspect: Not knowing if the CDC has been compromised/politicized and if so, how much.

“It is possible that enteroviruses have been causing acute flaccid myelitis at a very low rate for many years, misdiagnosed as transverse myelitis, and enterovirus 68 simply happened to become more prevalent in the 2014 season.[3]”

No joke. It is the same with AIDS, and I also think Ebola. The belief is that no cure will be found until enough straight white people are afflicted.

EVERY GOVERNMENT ENTITY HAS BEEN COMPROMISED AND POLITICIZED. There is NOTHING in our daily lives now that doesn’t have a political aspect to it. Even our bathrooms have suffered from the Obama Admin’s meddling. Prayers that Trump can right The Good Ship, America.........

CDC states they won’t release the states with confirmed cases, citing a confidentiality issue and states can release the information if they so choose.

The CDC is also covering up the number of Immigrants they are dropping off in cities with active full blown cases of TB, even refusing to comply with legal Freedom of Information orders ...
