One thing I've been pondering is, out of these cases, how many of these kids were immunized/got their childhood vaccinations, or did their parents listen to Jenny McCarthy and not get their childhood shots?

Enterovirus 68 now being investigated in 10 paralysis-like cases
DENVER — Health officials in Denver are now looking into an additional case of serious, paralysis-like complications being experienced by children who have also tested positive for enterovirus 68.
This additional case brings the number of “polio-like cases” to 10 as of Monday at Colorado Children’s Hospital in Denver.
The Colorado Department of Health and Environment is working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to find out if the germ that is causing severe respiratory illness in Colorado and across the country is responsible.
The CDC sent an alert to doctors Friday about the polio-like cases. Enterovirus 68 was detected in four of the eight Colorado children tested.
An Associated Press reports indicated health officials don’t know whether the virus caused any of the children’s arm and leg weaknesses or if it just happens to be some germ they coincidentally picked up.
All of the cases have happened within the last two months, during the same time of the wave of severe respiratory illness.
