Bre Payton, a-year-old political writer and TV commentator, died suddenly on Friday, a day after being hospitalized with H1N1 swine flu, her friends and employer said.
A staff writer at The Federalist and frequent guest on Fox News, Payton was found unresponsive and barely breathing Thursday morning by a friend and was rushed to a San Diego hospital, according to a CaringBridge fundraising page set up for her.
If Payton died from meningitis, which can cause sudden death, she likely had a weakened immune system, which could have been caused by influenza. It is unclear whether Payton received the flu vaccine though the only post that we can find about the subject was sarcastically critical of the industry:
State urges more people to get vaccinated. ///// NOOO ! vaccines are from the devil.
...... the flu vaccine is not a panacea and may actually cause complications that lead to serious disease and even death if ignored. On the other hand, the flu vaccine does prevent the flu and its secondary infections 10-to-40 percent of the time.
If Payton did not get the vaccine, its possible that it could have saved her life. If she did get the vaccineon the other handits possible that it actually contributed to her death. That is the paradox of a life-saving medical treatment with serious side effects.
Payton was a California native and went to Western Christian High school. A 2015 profile published on Patrick Henry Colleges website described Payton as such: Shes striking; her Valley Girl accent adds an unexpected tension to a dry sense of humor and she carries herself with Californian nonchalance. While shes not always sure of herself, shes always succeeded due to hard work and an appreciation for opportunities that come her way.

...... so true.
I dont get a flu shot. You do. You believe the flu shot is immunizing you from getting the flu. So how does whatever happens to me, affect you anyway?"

Interesting that you see some humor in Polio. /s
We weren't laughing so much about it back around 1950.
By the way, here at the University of Pittsburgh Dr. Jonas Salk discovered and developed one of the first successful polio vaccines.
"In 1948, he undertook a project funded by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, the organization that would fund the development of a vaccine, to determine the number of different types of polio virus. Salk saw an opportunity to extend this project towards developing a vaccine against polio, and, together with the skilled research team he assembled, devoted himself to this work for the next seven years.
The field trial set up to test the Salk vaccine was, according to O'Neill, "the most elaborate program of its kind in history, involving 20,000 physicians and public health officers, 64,000 school personnel, and 220,000 volunteers." Over 1,800,000 school children took part in the trial." (Wiki)

You're right, it was incoherent and irrational.
Ill be 70 in 2 months. I would die before taking another flu shot. Im still sick from the last one 19 years ago.
OMG!!!! OMG!!!
Actually, an acute attack on the respiratory system CAN kill you. Especially if you have a weakened immune system.
Our hospital is full of people who thought the flu shot was a waste of time. And the morgue is literally double booking over these holiday weekends.
So, go ahead and stay unvaccinated. You can share a bench in the fridge with a neighbor.
Yes, because it is so much fun listening to you hack up a lung for the last few days of your life. We love listening to old fools and their families cry. Medicare loves paying those last few days in the ICU. All because you cannot stand the shot.
When people who get the shot say they get the flu they are lying. They get colds and stomach viruses. The flu kills old people. Unless you are diagnosed with the flu, you have a cold.
Think of someone else for once.
Thanks, looks like progress is being made on her REAL cause of death.
I haven’t missed a flu shot in over 20 years, and that includes going to Canada the year we didn’t have enough to go around, so suck on that.
But I STILL refuse to accept that she ‘won’ the lottery given the death rates at her age.
I haven’t had the flu shot in years nor have I had the flu.
I take reasonable precautions and wash my hands carefully after being out and avoid large crowds and places where the flu is likely to be when it’s going around.
Besides, it’s not necessarily the flu that kills but complications.
Do people forego the pneumonia vaccines just because they think they are safe because they got the flu shot?
How much of a false sense of security does the flu shot that’s only 10-40% effective, hoping they get the strain right in the first place, do people get that they take unnecessary chances or are careless or lackadaisical about hygiene?
There’s not enough certainty about the flu shot to make it worth the risk, especially for someone allergic to eggs.
That seems FAR more likely.
Infect her with something else with that injection and make it look like the flu vaccine.
Convenient.......
Who knows, but when you hear about car crashes where the driver (an actor) was convinced that his car had been hacked, you hear about a person who commits ‘suicide’ by shooting himself twice in the head, Seth Rich having recoverable injuries but having to face a well-connector doctor, not to mention the Clinton Killing Fields...you do start to wonder, a bit.
I’m not saying that I know the cause of death, but I’m not buying the Swine Flu line...just too convenient.
This is moronic. The writer doesn’t know if she got the flu vaccine but blames it anyway.
A conclusion in search of supporting evidence
You can’t get the flu from the vaccine. It’s not a live strain.
If you are allergic, that is a reasonable reason not to get the shot.
But the general anti-vaxxers on FR are just fooling themselves. Sure, because they are holed up in their cellars, they probably are not exposed. But the flu will kill an old guy faster than just about anything else they will catch.
If you are a smoker (or even a former smoker) the flu will put you in the ground in less than a week.
We go through this every year. The AVaxers pound their chests every year. It just seems there are fewer and fewer of them every time around.

LOL ..... great thinking. /s
Show the world WHERE the writer blames the vaccine on her death.
I'll wait, A.P.
