Did Bre Payton Die From the Flu Vaccine?

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, it’s possible that it could have saved her life. If she did get the vaccine–on the other hand–it’s 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 College’s website described Payton as such: “She’s striking; her Valley Girl accent adds an unexpected tension to a dry sense of humor and she carries herself with Californian nonchalance. While she’s not always sure of herself, she’s always succeeded due to hard work and an appreciation for opportunities that come her way.”

Not enough of a benefit for me to risk the flu vaccine.

I'm not worried about dying from it. I know where I'm headed and it will be a vast improvement.

One thing that has been somewhat troubling about FR in the last several years is the emergence of a visceral hostility toward alternative media and citizen’s journalism...

Do you think that may be because so many of the alternative media and citizen journalist articles are ludicrous click bait drivel like this one?

Or is there something larger and more sinister at play?

One thing that has been somewhat troubling about FR in the last several years is the emergence of a visceral hostility toward alternative media and citizen’s journalism among quite a few freepers, It seems that the current gold standards for reporting here are the Washington Post and New York Times.

That seems to be exactly the opposite of reality. When it comes to anti-vaccine stories, people are scared of what would happen if such ideas catch on, but that's an exception to the way things are here.

Probably
The vaccine industry is do gooders from HELL seeking profits over lives
How many vaccines do they want to force you to have now ?

[P.O.E.]

Criminy - the vet wanted my cat to get all kinds of vaccines. For a hefty price. Kitty’s just fine.

It’s a different level of scare tactic when they want to give them to your kids.

I think I’ve had maybe a dozen or so shots as a kid, and maybe another dozen since. (not counting dentist anaesthetics)

Some people post these utter clickbait pieces of drivel, and then when the article is criticized they attack all the critics and raise foolish straw man claims such as “oh, so you only believe what is in the NYTimes or WaPo???” “Alternative” does not automatically mean better.

This clown does this stuff all the time. Anything he is involved with is pure nonsense.

Anyone that read this garbage, let alone embarrass themselves by posting it, has got a few screws loose.

You have quite a reputation on the board. I think I would keep your head down.

[azkathy]

I appreciated the article. I had asked the same question when I heard of her sudden death.

The level of vitriol you have received for daring to post this is over the top.

People are injured by vaccines and even killed by them. My Grandson is one of the statistics. RIP Larry Paul.

The FDA has now approved a 6 in one vaccine for 6 week old babies and it will be on the market in 2020.

This 6 in one vaccine will kill children. The authorities just won’t admit it’s from the vaccine. It has already killed children the following is from the vaccine insert “Deaths In the 2 US studies, death was reported in 6 participants (0.2%) who received VAXELIS and in 1 participant (0.1%) who received Pentacel + RECOMBIVAX HB vaccines; none were assessed as vaccine-related. Causes of death among infants who received VAXELIS were asphyxia, hydrocephalus, unknown cause, sepsis and 2 cases of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (occurring 1, 2, 10, 42, 44 and 49 days post-vaccination, respectively)” They call it “unknown cause” and “Sudden Infant Death Syndrome” because they won’t admit it’s the vaccine but go ahead and take the risk, be their lab rat.

Life is so unfair to good people, YET the EVIL LIBERAL BABY KILLERS live longer, conquer all stages of cancer(Ruth), continue to prosper in everything they touch etc. RIP Bre!

There have been over a half dozen unnecessary, sarcastic/outright ignorant comments on this thread.

I would have made more but I'm busy dying of Polio.

Should have.. coff.. gotten the .. coff coff.. vaccine!

AAAaaaarghh! (PLOP)

I hear you, but your comment could have been addressed to BobL who wrote it.

Take care .....

I am sorry about your grandson. But your blaming vaccines is wrong.

There is always a tiny risk associated with vaccines but considering that vaccines have eradicated diseases that killed and crippled millions upon millions of people worldwide over the centuries no rational person can suggest that vaccines be abolished.

[Reily]

Sorry!

I will try yo be more careful.

[Reily]

“... Because the odds of dropping dead from Swine Flu is not exactly very high …”

But people do! In a nation of 327 million there will be some number of people who drop dead from the flu. Because of modern communication the reporting of one doing so will have more impact then it should. So maintain a healthy skepticism as to what this incident may mean if anything!

Thank you.

People get more than a little irrational and mean when the subject of (flu) vaccines arise. It is odd.

There is much unsettled science in this area.

Be well .....

Very true.

There have been some few people who died in auto crashes (or its aftermath, from burning or drowning) BECAUSE they were wearing seatbelts. But those numbers pale compared to the numbers of people who have been saved by them. Same goes for flu vaccinations. 650,000 Americans died in the 1918 Spanish Flu epidemic. 70,000 died from the Asian flu in 1957. In the 2018 flu season, 4000 Americans die each month from influenza, the vast majority of whom were unvaccinated. So get your gall-danged flu shot already, because you’re endangering the rest of us if you don’t.

LOL ......... your "logic" seems a bit faulty.

Let me see: I'm a 72 year old male and have never had a flu shot AND have never had the flu. My wife is 68, never had a flu shot and never had the flu. Hmmm .....

Personally, I am not going to start getting a flu shot now ........ but, I will wear a seatbelt.

Have a Pleasant and Prosperous New Year ....

Let me know when a prominent Left dies that way - and considering that there many times more prominent Leftist, I expect to be seeing some.
