Parents do not approve of the way the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is handling the outbreak of AFM, CNN is reporting. AFM stands for acute flaccid myelitis, which is a disease that can paralyze a healthy child within hours of contracting it. The spread of this disease is verging on an epidemic, as 26 states have confirmed cases of AFM, and 11 additional states have possible cases. A total of 80 children have been diagnosed with the illness, with 219 possible cases of the illness still under investigation. While children have died from this devastating disease, the AFM surveillance website said that the CDC hasn’t reported any deaths, outraging grieving parents.
