Quote:
A brain and spinal column disorder, ADEM usually follows an infection. The brain swelling is a hypersensitive response to a prior viral or bacterial illness. The symptoms usually develop without warning one to three weeks following the recovery of limited illness — measles, chicken pox, mumps, influenza, whooping cough, herpes simplex (cold sores), strep throat, pneumonia, and others — or rarely, after a vaccination for these illnesses. Sometimes, they can’t be associated with any particular occurrence.

Kya’s tests showed that there may have been a weak mononucleosis link to her viral ADEM. And, she had received an immunization at the beginning of December.
(bolding mine)


So 3 weeks after she receives a vaccine, this happens. Cooincidence. Maybe. Maybe she did have a little touch of Mono..who knows? There isn't nearly enough info in this article to do anything but speculate. Just thought the timing was interesting. Of course they have to add the disclaimer at the bottom of the article.

Reportedly, public debate over vaccinations and ADEM has led some parents to avoid recommended vaccinations for their children. The American Academy of Pediatrics asserts that, despite concerns, vaccination is far safer than accepting the risk for the diseases that the immunizations prevent.

Thanks for posting. I don't believe in coincidences.

Poor little girl. It sounds good that she has recovered well and is back to school. I hope she hasn't been too screwed up now from all the steroids and abx.

How can they know if the vaccines are safer than the diseases if they never admit that any event following a vaccine is connected to a vaccine?

Basically, they are saying that vaccines are safe because we don't look at reactions (my translation), therefore there aren't any reactions, or at least not enough to worry about.

Love it, Deborah!

Vaccines are safe => there are no reactions.
There are no reactions => vaccines are safe.

Brilliant!
