    Honestly hadn't thought of the "swine flu" in a long time, much less that it could suddenly kill an otherwise-healthy 26 year old. Sad and disturbing.https://www.foxnews.com/politics/bre-payton-conservative-writer-and-television-guest-dies-at-26-after-sudden-illness …

        The deadliest flu pandemic ever, kiilled the young, because their immune systems reacted so much and the old, because they didn't. Those in the middle, fared best. https://www.clinicalcorrelations.org/2009/09/23/the-forgotten-influenza-of-1918-when-a-strong-immune-system-becomes-a-weakness/ …

        Honestly though unless any of us have first hand knowledge of what and how this happened it's all speculative. No one knows if she was vaccinated or not and if she had the flu was it the primary cause or a co morbidity.

        And to those blasting anti vaxers on this issue you should read up on the lack of effectiveness of the flu vaccine it's not like other vaccines in that it's a best guess as to the current genetics of the flu type and usually less than 30 percent effective at best.

        ???? She was an antivaxxer, if anything, she died because she WASNT immunized and had no resistance to the H1N1 virus. Truly tragic what misinformation can do to a young life.

        1918 flu pandemic helped kill ONLY because it was able to spread among millions of already immune-compromised after WW1: starving, stressed over-crowded terrible sanitation where fecal-to-oral diseases reigned. Disease is always multi-factorial.

        A big factor was the fact so many people were in hospitals with injuries, etc. Normally a disease that was so lethal would be at an evolutionary disadvantage - if people die they can't keep spreading the disease. W/so many people sitting around in hospitals it could spread easy

        I hate to sound selfish at this time, but my daughter who has a suppressed immune system is visiting me in San Diego. Hopefully, she wears a surgical mask on her flight back to Boston.

        There a couple Influenza strains in the world today with mortality rates several times greater than the 1918 Spanish flu, but that one predominantly killed younger people.

        Everyone skipping over the ‘possibly meningitis’ part of the diag. H1N1 is not in itself high percentage death sentence.
