David Vetter - Biography
David Phillip Vetter (September 21, 1971 – February 22, 1984) was a prominent sufferer of severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), a hereditary disease which dramatically weakens the immune system. Individuals born with SCID are abnormally susceptible to infections, and exposure to pathogens can be fatal. Vetter was referred to as "David, the bubble boy" by the media. Vetter's surname was not revealed to the general public until 10 years after his death in order to preserve his family's privacy.
