You Are Legend

So flu season is right around the corner. I know many of you have probably considered getting the H1N1 vaccine but are a little bit hesitant. It's ok to be wary of possible side effects, but make sure you are well informed. Don't NOT take if for being in fear of turning into a zombie like that Will Smith Movie. Most of you have probably heard of the cheerleader girl who claims to have gotten the vaccine and then developed "dystonia". For her sake, I hope this is all a hoax and that she is trully in good health. This is the original video of her news report:



After watching that clip...you be the judge if she is faking it or not. An undisclosed neurological doctor recently wrote this online with what he thinks of the situation:

"It is my professional opinion that this one's a hoax.

She's actually a bad actress (over-acting), and her "dystonia" is inconsistent.

If she's trying to sell this one off as some kind of "intention tremor" (cerebellar lesion, which still doesn't fit), her dysarthria should remain consistent regardless of whether or not she's running.

If she's trying to sell this off as some kind of DeNiro-esque "Awakenings"-style catatonia where she can retain certain motor functions (running, walking backwards) but not others, survey says: [X][X][X]. Does not fit.

A fixed brain lesion/insult is just that: fixed. It doesn't come and go. So let's just pretend that she suffered some kind of autoimmune reaction to the vaccine or some "toxicity" to some kind of vaccine preservative (the favored mechanism espoused by the tin-foil-hat crowd re: autism) that destroyed part of her motor cortex: again, fixed ataxia/choreoathetoid movement. Does not come and go.

And lastly, Guillain-Barre, a known/documented reaction to vaccines, this is completely NOT that.

The only other thing this can be is psychogenic/psychiatric, a type of hysteria/somatization/conversion disorder. Yeah...she's batty.

It just continually bewilders me that so many people are ready to point the finger at "the evil government" and "pharmaceutical conspiracies", but they're so willing to trust charlatans and malingerers."

I hope that the girl is faking it because dystonia looks really fucked up if it is how she portrays it to be, with that crazy shakira stuff. Anyways, if you DO NOT believe that her story is real, then let us all drop her banner a la Americas Best Dance Crew and watch THIS video together:



(i hope shes faking it. because if we all just laughed at this poor girl, then we are so going to hell. see you in hell! (from heaven of course))
