. His alarming reaction was submitted via msnbc.com's reader reporting
tool, First Person, by his stepmother, Arlene Connin.


Hospital officials didn't dispute that the boy had GBS, but refused to
comment on the boy's condition or treatment, even after his family
granted permission.

"They don't want to create a fear or panic in the community," said
Jordan's stepmother, Connin.

Connin and Jordan's father, Calvin McFarland, both 38, believe the
shot sparked the illness that came on 18 hours after the boy's
vaccination.

But Vellozzi said there's no clear link between the new vaccine and
the disease.

"We know that GBS and other illnesses occur routinely in the U.S.,"
Vellozzi said, noting that 80 to 120 cases are diagnosed each week in
the general population.

"There are events that follow vaccination. That's what they are, they
happened to follow vaccination.


The old bag did just what Janet Mae Stidd Drew would have done, after
having been prompted by fear and fear mongers like Johnnie Boy.

Johnnie boy is one whale of a liar.
