Could this be from a flu shot? Some parents are saying they just got their child a flu shot before they came down with afm. So if that is the truth then we need to think that afm is a condition brought on by the flu vaccine. Maybe they will quit wasting time, confusing everyone, and be truthful and find a solution so no more children are affected. My heart goes out to all the parents who have lost a child or their child is very ill. I pray for them . We all need to work together and find solutions and make changes, when it comes to our children's precious lives.
