The CDC has issued a health advisory about the “mysterious” illness that mimics polio and is infecting American children:
The CDC says the mysterious illness is characterized by “focal limb weakness and abnormalities of the spinal cord gray matter on MRI.” The cases, which are just now being made public, occurred between August 9 – September 17 among children aged 1-18 years old (with a median age of 10 years-old).
The nine children who have been confirmed to have this neurological illness all had fever and respiratory illness about two weeks before developing varying degrees of limb weakness. Health officials don’t think it’s polio because eight of the nine children are up to date on their polio vaccinations.
The American people are already outraged by the Obama administrations hand in the surge of undocumented children that are being accepted into our country without consideration for the impact it will have on our schools, healthcare and other services. The possibility that a deadly and crippling disease may be hitting American children as a result of this appalling policy only adds fuel to their anger:
Officials “have to do the genetic analysis” to disprove or prove the link, Nora Chapman, an enterovirus scientist at the University of Nebraska, told The Daily Caller.
But there’s already more than enough statistical evidence for American citizens to demand that scientists test the viruses to see if Obama’s progressive border priorities spread the dangerous contagion throughout the country during 2014.
Five American kids have died from this illness. It has apparently inflicted polio-like paralysis in roughly 50 kids, and it has put hundreds of children in hospitals and intensive care units.
