Dystonia
1) The disease is real, what she presents on the video is not a-typical.
2) The incidence in the general population is higher than one in a million, independent of flu shots.
3) There is no firm evidence that the flue shot caused this to occur
4) Even if the shot did cause this poor young woman's distress, we have an obligation to ourselves and those around us to stop this pandemic, I'm getting my shot this coming week and urge everyone here to do so, too.
Two things are noteworthy about this whole mess. One, the Egyptians, having killed off all their pigs, are now literally dying under their mountains of garbage. We have two allies in our fight against rodents
- pigs who compete with them for food (three major species on this planet eat sawdust: humans, pigs, rats)
- cats, who kill the mice and, within limits, the rats
Well, the idiots Islamists killed all the pigs and now they have all those delightful diseases being carried by the exploding rat and mouse population. Cats can't reproduce fast enough to keep up and the infrastructure in Egyptian cities was based on neighborhood pigs eating the trash.
The second thing I see, and this scares me, is all this pseudo-libertarian nonsense about not getting vaccinated, teh guberment pepeol ain't gonna tell me wha' to do. Yeah, right. Well, you and all your runny-nosed kids get sick, you overload the already compromised health system and now, people who through no fault of their own (like your poor kids, unlike you) did get sick (too young, too old, weakened immune system) are not getting the care they need because resources are diverted to you and your brood. And, of course, your kids promptly gave it to all the other kids in school. Hallo, exponential progressions, anyone?
I used to get upset about folks who don't wear helmets then expect emergency rooms to put them back together and welfare to support them after a motorcycle crash leaves them impaired for life. A friend of mine who is a trauma surgeon in New Zealand set me right: Wrong way of looking at them: These people are the 21st century equivalent of rolling human parts lockers. We can't clone yet, so their body parts are the next best thing...and, she adds wickedly (red-head), after all, we aren't using their brains...
Did I get out of bed in the wrong century or something?
Oh, here's a nice bit of news on the side. I had the swine flu in 1976. Turns out people who had my version are conferred less protection against this mutation than those who had it in the mid-1950's. Vintage is good...
