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 young.
What an idiotic article.
Starting them young these days, huh?
Hard to believe she was “ a-year-old political writer”...
Her family has asked for privacy—and this article is a good demonstration as to why that’s a good request.
What is important....who else was exposed.
Not likely. Just more anti-vaxxer speculation, IMO.
Quickly reading the headline I thought they were talking about some variety of exotic cheese ...
Or maybe IF she didnt die of influenza, she would have been run over by the beer truck the next day.
This is not FAKE news, this is called IFFY news. And it is just as bad because STUPID people treat it as factual...and there are plenty of stupid people who believe BS...Obama was elected President twice by these people.
Smug, arent we. I took my first (and last) influenza vaccine in 1999 at age 50. Weeks later I got the chronic form of GuillainBarré syndrome. I still suffer with to this day.
“....It is unclear whether Payton received the flu vaccine....”
They why pound out this idiotic screed?

I got a routine tetanus shot a few years ago... It really F***ED me up for a while, and before you ask I did go back to the Doctor a day after the shot and they ran a literal SLEW of tests expecting it to BE SOMETHING ELSE before finally admitting and telling me.... “well you had a reaction to the shot, take some NSAIDs and time off work and rest.....You SHOULD get better....”
I am not getting a flu shot ever!
Because some of the same crap that I could have a reaction to in the tetanus shot could be in the flu shot too, I am talking about the “immune accelerators” or adjuvants.
OK. Even if the answer is yes, does that mean you don’t vaccinate anyone? This is stupid.
We won’t know anything about the COD until the autopsy report comes back.
What an idiotic article.
Triple dittos here.
absolutely idiocy, I agree

That's funny.
Badly written sentence there.
She was a real prodigy.
