Before dinner on July 29, 3-year-old Carter Roberts of Chesterfield, Va., seemed perfectly healthy. That evening, he vomited. When he woke up the next morning with a slight fever of 99 degrees, his mother, Robin Roberts, figured that he was coming down with a cold. The next morning, she found him collapsed on his bedroom floor.
“Mommy,” she recalls him saying. “Help me, help me.”
Carter could barely stand when she picked him up, and his neck was arched backward. “What was most alarming,” she said, “is he had no control over his right arm whatsoever.”
In the hospital, Carter lost control of his right arm, then over his legs and other muscles within a few days. He now can only wiggle a toe and move the left side of his face. He has been diagnosed with a mysterious, polio-like illness called acute flaccid myelitis, a condition that seems to be surging this year.
Through July, 32 new cases of AFM have been confirmed across the United States this year by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a sharp rise compared with last year, when just seven cases had been confirmed by that month. The numbers have risen steadily since April. In past years, most cases have occurred between August and December, with a peak in October.

Teamobama global world full of sick and dying and poor people.
Couldn’t be illegal immigrants, could it?
That’s what happens when you fanatically import the Third World.
Hmmm... a friend of my HS daughter just had an issue a day or so ago where she woke up and had trouble walking. I’ll have to see if she had a fever or has made it back to school yet.
No mention in the excerpt if it is viral/bacterial....guess I’ll have to read the full article...sigh.
It’s got nothing to do with all the 3rd world illegal aliens streaming across our borders. Nooooooooooo.
I think you better quarantine typhoid hitlery pronto
Right, and we are getting it from unchecked illegal immigrants.
wonder what South American country has the most reported cases of this sickness?
Didn’t have any of this before obama/jarret...
Gee, I wonder if there’s a connection there.
Basically, the CDC, on orders by Obama are running interference. They know it’s causes by the virus the Central/South Americans brought up that year. Just like they are now not only covering up, but refusing to release information on how many illegals with active TB they are knowingly dropping off in communities all around the country.
Geez I wonder if it migh be “imported”?
Perhaps the lib anti vaxxers who mingle with the so-called "refugees"?
just finished reading it and saw this. I would agree with the physicians who see the relationship. I know correlation is not causation, but this just seems too much of a smoking gun. If nothing else at least a strain of the same virus is likely.
Could it be polio imported from South America.
What is the children’s prognosis? Will they recover?
Well, this is frightening!
“That’s what happens when you fanatically import the Third World.”
They bring their third world diseases, lack of hygiene/health standards which spread their contagious diseases.
Besides the expenses of having to treat legal citizens from the diseases brought in by the illegals, we have to treat them with our tax $’s.
