Viral post claiming that a child was severely injured by vaccines contradicts doctor’s assessment

The widespread circulation of the story increases its risk. Debunking messaging may emphasize that there is no evidence that vaccines caused the child’s illness and that a pediatrician ruled out that possibility. The infant reportedly tested positive for metapneumovirus, an upper respiratory disease that can cause severe symptoms, including high fever, vomiting, and seizures, in young children.
