A four-year-old girl in Iowa who was not vaccinated for the flu has been left blind after suffering a severe bout of the virus that left her in the intensive care unit for two weeks.
Jade DeLucia, of Iowa City, did not receive a flu shot this season but caught the virus a few days before Christmas and within a matter of days the infection triggered a seizure and left her unresponsive in the hospital.
She contracted influenza B, a strain of the flu that affects children more than adults and has been spreading this season.
This year's child flu death toll in the US has risen to 32, according to the CDC. Among those deaths, 21 were from the influenza B virus.

Unvaccinated illegals brining in disease
Moral of the story: Take off the tin foil hat and vaccinate your kids!
Influenza is a weapon
If you don’t roll up the sleeve they will give it to you via one of the vaccinated people
Getting ugly out there!
Obviously lib idiot parents
And there is no proof the flu shot would have changed any of this.
The only time I ever got the flu was after getting the shot... not just mild symptoms..but full blown flu. No more.
@1:48 AMEN! I've gotten one flu shot in my life and ended up in the hospital with terrible flu
I've never gotten a flu shot and never intend on doing so.
The flu shot only covers certain strains that the CDC thinks will be prevalent each year. And then every year there are other strains going around that aren't covered by the flu shot. It's a crap shoot.
Why take the chance. Illegals are bringing in this weird stuff - you can bet they are getting flu shots for free.
Not me ..after reading poster in my Wellness Doctor's Office ! ...
