A Snohomish County child has been admitted to Seattle Children’s with symptoms of a rare, polio-like illness, bringing the total in the mysterious Washington cases to nine, health officials said Tuesday. A 6-year-old Bellingham boy in the cluster has died.

In 2014, CDC investigated a link between cases of a specific enterovirus, EV-D68, and AFM. In the Washington cases, there’s no evidence of that virus, Patel said.

Is this more fallout from the border surge of 2014?

American children are continuing to die across the country from Obama's blunder, when he admitted some 60,000 people from south of the border who arrived en masse, ala Germany in 2015.

Probably not; it's much more likely fallout from a surge in anti-vaxxing morons.

Of course, you have zero evidence that any American children have died because of the dirty Hispanics bringing polio or smallpox or whatever.

From my link: " Graham specifically noted there is no apparent link with being recently vaccinated against common childhood illnesses.

“There is no evidence with AFM that people who are vaccinated are any more or less likely to come down with AFM,” she said."

Completely false, not that it matters to people who are willing to sacrifice children for "progress".

Genius, this illness hasn't even been linked with a virus, much less an immigrant vector. "Daniel" sound like a south of the border name you?

A polio like disease that is here? First thought would be something brought over by refugees from the middle east. When I was over there, there were rare infections that would cause partial numbness to flat out loss of function for parts of the body. No one there seemed to have any cure or any explanation why 1000 people could be living in close proximity but only one or two catching it.

All the people In the military I seen catch it recovered though unlike polio, usually within days to weeks.

There are many Hispanic and African kids with American names. I had a girl in my class who was from Togo Africa whose name was Sarah. Daniel is most likely a white kid, but you really can't be sure.

I was friends with a Mexican kid in school who's parents were from Mexico, spoke no English in the home, and my friend's name was Daniel. He was born over there. Genius.

It sounds more like it might be a variant of the Gillian-Barre syndrome that paralyzes muscles.

My sis-in-law was paralyzed from a severe case of Gillian- Barre syndrome in 1976 and could only move her eyelids. It usually only effects the voluntary muscles but her effected the involuntary ones too and she had to be put on a ventilator and have a pace maker for her heart.

She was in ICU for several months and is very lucky to be alive today.

Guillain-Barre (gee-YAH-buh-RAY) syndrome is a rare disorder in which your body's immune system attacks your nerves. Weakness and tingling in your extremities are usually the first symptoms.

These sensations can quickly spread, eventually paralyzing your whole body. In its most severe form Guillain-Barre syndrome is a medical emergency. Most people with the condition must be hospitalized to receive treatment.

The exact cause of Guillain-Barre syndrome is unknown. But it is often preceded by an infectious illness such as a respiratory infection or the stomach flu.


There's no known cure for Guillain-Barre syndrome, but several treatments can ease symptoms and reduce the duration of the illness. Most people recover from Guillain-Barre syndrome, though some may experience lingering effects from it, such as weakness, numbness or fatigue.

Guillain-Barré Syndrome Fact Sheet

In fact a study has shown that there might be a strong association between the Gillian-Barre syndrome and the Zika virus.

From the following article:
A comparison of rates of Guillain-Barre syndrome before and after Zika arrived in seven countries has found a strong association between the virus and the illness, researchers from the Pan American Health Organization said on Wednesday.

The current Zika outbreak was first detected in Brazil last year and has since spread across the Americas and the Caribbean.
