Mass. girl recovering from rare, serious illness linked to flu
Acute necrotizing encephalopathy is a rare but dangerous flu complication that can cause brain damage or even death.

By Morgan Rousseau   
January 10, 2026

A Massachusetts mother is sharing her family’s frightening experience with the flu after her 4-year-old daughter developed a rare but potentially deadly complication of the virus.

Caitlin Lyons of Ashland told CBS News that her daughter, Althea, came to her in the middle of the night, complaining of dizziness. She was taken to Mass General Hospital, where doctors became concerned after diagnosing her with acute necrotizing encephalopathy (ANE).

Though rare, ANE is linked to common viral infections such as the flu and causes rapid brain swelling that can lead to lasting brain damage or death.

Yikes!  Good information to know.

Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Hmm. Yet nobody's calling for lockdown. I wonder why.

My wife's niece (a vibrant, otherwise healthy 40 something) just spent three weeks in ICU fighting "flu". She was required to take Covid shots in the past in order to remain employed. I know what I think but you can make of it what you wish.
