immune myelitis after hepatitis B vaccine

The hypothesis up until now has been that autoimmune attack is triggered by the cross-targeting of an infection like a bacteria/fungus then a viral infection.

Anti-insulin marking the pancreas then the flu virus infecting and replicating there causing the immune system to attack the pancreas and causing type 1 diabetes (just one example)

It is baffling then to read that after a hepatitis B vaccine that some kids develop myelitis which is a swelling of the spinal cord.

Hepatitis B is an infection of genital secretions, the blood, the bloods filter the liver....liquid based cells.  How does it cause antibodies to the central nervous system?

The only cross over I can fathom is one between Herpes HSV-2 and Hepatitis B as sexually transmitted diseases of the genitals. Here the location is the same and the immune system could get confused if the infections coexisted.

Then later when a hepatitis B vaccine is received the body would look not just for hepatitis but for herpes.....

note that it is not the vaccine that causes autoimmunity but the virus piece itself in the vaccine and the industry has pulled any vaccine that has reactions....the true trigger is the virus. I  advocate vaccinations.

The chicken pox virus aka vericella zoster virus incubates in the spinal cord.  The varicella zoster virus is the human herpes virus 3 based on homology.  To our immune system it is a herpes virus

Hypothesis:  If there is a history of genital herpes and hepatitis in the mother....and the child has had chickenpox (not the vaccine the actual disease)....then and only then could hepatitis vaccine could trigger myelitis in the child.

Antibodies can cross the blood barrier if the zoster virus (chicken pox virus) has already created holes and crossed. 

Possible? CDC will have to check case histories here.
