Is it an auto-immune disease from vaccine damage?

FDA informed healthcare professionals of changes to the ADVERSE REACTIONS and POST-MARKETING sections of the product's prescribing information. The ADVERSE REACTIONS section was updated to include six cases of Kawasaki disease that were observed during the Phase 3 clinical trial. There were five cases among the 36,150 infants who received RotaTeq and one case among the 35,536 infants who received placebo.

A superantigen or autoimmunity has been hypothesized to be the main cause of the Kawasaki's Disease but the etiology is unknown. Medical literature, epidemiological findings, and some case reports have suggested that mercury may play a pathogenic role. Several patients with Kawasaki's Disease have presented with elevated urine mercury levels compared to matched controls.....

Poor Jett Travolta. He was born in 1992. If he was vaccinated on schedule, he got a wallop of mercury. Poor guy!

At the moment, no one is sure what it is. It's suspected to be a virus from the seasonal pattern of cases, but doesn't have any identifiable pattern with respect to vaccinations or no vaccinations, regions, diet or environment.

1: Curr Opin Pediatr. 2007 Feb;19(1):71-4. "Light and electron microscopic studies of the antigen in acute Kawasaki disease ciliated bronchial epithelium indicate that the Kawasaki disease-associated antigen localizes to cytoplasmic inclusion bodies that are consistent with aggregates of viral protein and associated nucleic acid."

My guess - purely a guess based on previous disease breakthroughs - is that it's going to be something that infects many people, and only a few are susceptible to the inflammation.
