Fascinating. There's been tons of reports on how the flu shots are more dangerous than the flu itself, but I guess this confirms it. Pretty interesting how the neurological pathways are, though.
I'd say the odds of dying from the flu (however low they may be) are still higher than this side effect of the vaccine. This has been the only case drawn to public attention that I've seen--granted she is a pretty girl, so of course she'll get air time.
There have been a significant number of deaths caused by the flu, and this side effect, while detestable, is supposedly treatable. Unlike death, I think.
