"Bubble Boy" is a term commonly associated with David Vetter, a boy born in 1971 with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), a rare genetic disorder that left him unable to fight off infections. To protect him from germs, he lived in a sterile environment, often referred to as a "bubble." His life was closely monitored, and he spent most of his 12 years in a plastic bubble-like enclosure. The story of Bubble Boy has inspired various media, including films and documentaries, highlighting the challenges faced by those with SCID. David's case raised awareness about the importance of medical research and the need for better treatments for immunodeficiency disorders.
