A line that’s somehow both frightening and comforting. The environment we grow up in increasingly looks like it plays a role in certain neurological disease progression. (See lack of infection playing a role in childhood leukemia [1])

I’ll hold my breath, wait for the causative agent to be identified, and dna compared to polio and the like.
Given AFM seems to occur more frequently in places with lower vaccination rates it seems plausible that existing vaccines are impacting it. Which of course implies it is a variation of an existing disease
Where is it documented that it occurs in places with lower vaccination rates? From my reading, in one cluster, 8 out of 9 were up to date with their vaccinations.
