Birkhoff's theorem for spherically symmetric vacuum spacetimes is a key theorem in studying local systems in general relativity theory. However realistic local systems are only approximately spherically symmetric and only approximately vacuum. In a previous paper, we showed the theorem remains approximately true in an approximately spherically symmetric vacuum space time. In this paper we prove the converse case: the theorem remains approximately true in a spherically symmetric, approximately vacuum space time.
