A northern Virginia family says their lives have been turned upside down. Just 24 hours after getting his flu shots, their 14-year-old son was too weak to walk. Jordan McFarland is an avid young athlete who is walking now with the aid of a walker. His father Calvin says doctors made a preliminary diagnosis of Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS), a disease characterized by muscle weakness and sometimes paralysis. The Alexandria, Virginia teen had both a seasonal flu vaccine and an H1N1 shot a week ago, but his dad believes the illness is linked to the H1N1 flu shot. He says Jordan had regular flu shots four times before without a problem. 12 Nov 2009

Život rodiny v Severní Virginii (USA) byl zničen. Jejich 14 letý syn 24 hodin po očkování ztratil schopnost chůze. Jordan McFarland, horlivý sportovec, nyní chodí pouze s pomocí chodítka. Jeho tatínek Calvin oznámil, že lékaři říkají, že to je Guillain-Barreho syndrom, nemoc způsobující svalovou slabost a ochrnutí. Chlapec dostal obě vakciny, proti sezonní chřipce i proti prasečí chřipce právě před týdnem. Jeho otec je přesvědčen, že za to může očkování proti prasečí chřipce. Připomíná, že Jordan dostal očkování proti sezonní chřipce předtím již 4x bez následků. 12.listopad 2009
