Hi everyone:
Sue is referring to David Vetter who died in the Houston area in 1984.
He lived in a bubble for most of his life because he had SCID, or severe
combined immune deficiency, which happens in about 1 in every 75,000 births.
The 2001 movie however was a comedic version of this and in no way was an
accurate representation.
Why you would make a comedy about a disease, hey, i don't know.
