I actually read the NCBI summary of transverse myelitis before I posted to Ritchie’s mother.
Autoimmune disorders are more likely to occur after an infection than a vaccine. Clearly, the problem is in the immune system and not any specific pathogen antigens. Little Ritchie’s illness is unfortunate, but is not a reason to start shouting anti-vax hooey. On the contrary, it seems that he will be one of those children who is absolutely dependent on the vaccination status of other children around him in order to stay healthy.
How could you come to that conclusion? Not only is one of the most common causes flu vaccine but this child’s doc has stated that is the likely cause.
The only one shouting anti vaccine hooey is you. I am frankly done. I have no agenda but your’s is insurmountable. Be at peace.
No doubt you think that refusing to look at any issues is the way to force people to get all the vaccines offered.
You think we should ignore peer reviewed journals too?
