Six Studies Linking Acute Flaccid Myelitis to Vaccines
(It Appears that the Strong Correlation Between the “Mysterious” Outbreaks of Acute Flaccid Paralysis and Vaccines is Being Covered-up (and therefore not studied!) by the CDC and the American Academy of Pediatrics)
"It is taboo to suggest a role for vaccines in the clusters of Acute Flaccid Paralysis, even though they majority of them occur coincident with pre-school vaccinations in August and September.”
(Here is a List of Vaccines that have been Reported in the Medical Literature to be Associated with Transverse Myelitis)
· DTaP (Diphtheria, Tetanus, acellular Pertussis) vaccine
· Hepatitis B vaccine
· HPV vaccine (Gardasil, Cervarix
· Influenza (Flu) vaccine
· MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) vaccine
· Meningococcal vaccine
· TDap (Tetanus, Diphtheria, acellular Pertussis) vaccine

Eight confirmed or probable cases of acute flaccid myelitis this year in Texas. On Tuesday, officials in Minnesota said they have seen six cases. They typically see zero to one cases of AFM per year, on average. ABC News reports nine cases were diagnosed recently in Illinois, five cases in Washington state, and a single case was confirmed in Wisconsin. Acute Flaccid Myelitis (AFM) is now in multiple states!!! All cases would have been diagnosed as polio in the 50's. All of them.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported a spike in a mysterious polio-like illness, confirmed this year in nearly half of the states in the country. Most of the cases are in children. Like polio, AFM affects the body's nervous system - specifically, the spinal cord -- and can cause paralysis. What we do not know: the exact cause of the illness, though scientists think it is most likely the result of a viral infection. Other potential culprits include environmental toxins, genetic disorders and Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS), according to the CDC. The CDC said there have been 362 cases of AFM recorded in the U.S. from 2014 to 2018.
What is Acute Flaccid Myelitis?
Acute Flaccid Myelitis (AFM) is a variant or sub-type of transverse myelitis. AFM is inflammation of the spinal cord and generally presents with unique clinical and MRI features that are not typical of classical transverse myelitis. AFM abnormalities noted on MRI are predominantly found in the gray matter of the spinal cord. In 2013, an outbreak of what is now believed to be this sub-type of transverse myelitis occurred in California and more cases were reported in the summer and fall of 2014 across the United States. The enterovirus (EV-D68) has been suspect in many of these cases however, it has not been definitively proven that it is this particular virus that has caused the paralysis,1 although several cases of AFM occurred at around the same time as an outbreak of the EV-D68 virus. -- From the Transverse Myelitis Association
So… AFM is one form of TM – Transverse Myelitis.
Is There Evidence That Vaccines are Associated with Transverse Myelitis?
Yes.
Transverse myelitis is a rare clinical syndrome in which an immune-mediated process causes neural injury to the spinal cord. The pathogenesis of transverse myelitis is mostly of an autoimmune nature, triggered by various environmental factors, including vaccination. Our aim here was to search for and analyze reported cases of transverse myelitis following vaccination. A systematic review of PubMed, EMBASE and DynaMed for all English-language journals published between 1970 and 2009 was preformed, utilizing the key words transverse myelitis, myelitis, vaccines, post-vaccination, vaccination and autoimmunity. We have disclosed 37 reported cases of transverse myelitis associated with different vaccines including those against hepatitis B virus, measles-mumps-rubella, diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis and others, given to infants, children and adults. In most of these reported cases the temporal association was between several days and 3 months, although a longer time frame of up to several years was also suggested. Although vaccines harbor a major contribution to public health in the modern era, in rare cases they may be associated with autoimmune phenomena such as transverse myelitis. The associations of different vaccines with a single autoimmune phenomenon allude to the idea that a common denominator of these vaccines, such as an adjuvant, might trigger this syndrome. -- Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19880568
"Mysterious" Myelitis?
Six studies linking acute myelitis (aka paralysis) to vaccines, particularly the flu shot. These take two minutes to research.
Why are all the cases so "mysterious" to the media?! Let's help them out by sharing this information on their FB pages, Twitter AND on all the State Health Department posts. Some of t
he stories are even pushing further vaccines...
< >"In fact, a number of inflammatory disorders of the central nervous system [myelitis] have been associated with the administration of various vaccines.”-- www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27023738
-- www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10210810
3. “It should be recognized that certain vaccines might trigger serious neurological immune phenomena such as Guillain-Barre syndrome, seizures, cranial neuropathy, and acute disseminated encephaloMYELITIS (ADEM). Here we report on an elderly woman with ADEM following seasonal influenza [flu] vaccination.”
-- www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3889594/
4. "A wide variety of inflammatory diseases temporally associated with the administration of various vaccines, has been reported in the literature. The most commonly reported vaccinations that were associated with CNS demyelinating diseases included influenza (21 cases), human papilloma virus (HPV) (9 cases), hepatitis A or B (8 cases), rabies (5 cases), measles (5 cases), rubella (5 cases), yellow fever (3 cases), anthrax (2 cases), meningococcus (2 cases) and tetanus (2 cases). Usually the symptoms of the CNS demyelinating syndrome appear a few days following the immunization (average: 14.2 days).
-- www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24514081
5. "We describe two adult cases of neurologic complications occurring after influenza vaccination. The first case was a 62-year-old man who experienced convulsions 5 days after vaccination, and the second case was a 70-year-old man who exhibited paraplegia 7 days after vaccination. Diagnoses of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis and transverse MYELITIS with acute motor axonal neuropathy were made."

6. "Acquired Demyelinating disorders [MYELITIS] of the central nervous system in children span a wide spectrum. The etiology of acquired demyelinating conditions is multi-factorial namely – genetic, post-infectious, post-immunization...Vaccines, specifically the influenza, rabies and smallpox vaccines have also been reported.”

Confirmed Cases are Clustered Around the Back to School Enrollment Shots
CDC data shows a heavy concentration of cases, mostly in children, during the months of August-October. This coincides with annual vaccination programs.

It is a known fact that injecting a child with a vaccine can injure tissue and drive enteroviruses, such as EV-68, into the spinal cord. This is known as polio provocation and was researched in the 1950's and later confirmed further in 1998.
It is taboo to suggest a role for vaccines in the clusters of Acute Flaccid Paralysis, even though they majority of them occur coincident with pre-school vaccinations in August and September, but some old-timers remember "provocation poliomyelitis" or "provocation paralysis." This is paralytic polio following intramuscular injections, typically with vaccines. . . .
“If a polio-like virus is circulating in the U.S., the possibility of its provocation by one or more vaccines has to be considered."--thebmj
In 1955, evidence that some pediatric injections could incite polio infection and paralysis led to extraordinary shifts in health policy and calculated efforts to mitigate the risk. . .
American newspapers advised parents to postpone vaccinations during warm weather or epidemics, citing evidence that some children developed polio within a month of injection. . .
US health organizations and charities, including the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Public Health Association, accommodated the possibility of polio provocation and encouraged health professionals to avoid “indiscriminate” injections and “booster shots” during epidemics. . . .
In 1998, State University of New York researchers Matthias Gromeier and Eckard Wimmer published a pioneering article on the mechanism of injection-induced polio paralysis." --The Lancet
Is There Effective Treatment for Vaccine-Induced Transverse Myelitis?
Yes. If it is recognized as a vaccine-injury and treated accordingly.
Four days following novel influenza A(H1N1) vaccination, the patient developed longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis. Extensive diagnostic evaluation effectively ruled out causes other than vaccination-associated transverse myelitis. Following treatment with corticosteroids and plasmapheresis, the patient made a significant recovery. -- Source: JAMA Network – JAMA Neurology(JAMA = Journal of the American Medical Association)
