Woman retarded after flu shot

[XxRobJohnsonxX]

Ten days after receiving a seasonal flu shot, a 25-year-old woman developed a disease known as Dystonia.
The beautiful woman (who was a pretty sexy cheerleader) is now retarded.

Fucking crazy...

Watch what you inject yourself with.

Disabled is merely a euphemism for the mentally retarded (as well as several other things such as crippled, blind, deaf, etc.)

Exactly. If you are retarded, you are disabled. But being disabled does not mean you are retarded.

She has a neurological disease that does not allow her to function/speak/walk = retarded.

I smell an infinite loop coming on.

Anyway, she has a mental disorder now I believe. Which can be considered both depending on which way you decide to view it.

wow, that sucks! that fucking sucks!

Retardation is a cognitive disability. In her case, it's a motor skills disability. She can still think just as well as she did before.

[Purplefunk]

It's a one in a million thing.

She has Dystonia Disorder, not retarded.

"Retarded" = "slow". But this woman can run perfectly fine; which would be "fast".

Therefore, she is not retarded.

Wiki article copy/paste:
Mental retardation is a generalized disorder, characterized by significantly impaired cognitive functioning and deficits in two or more adaptive behaviors with onset before the age of 18. Once focused almost entirely on cognition, the definition now includes both a component relating to mental functioning and one relating to individuals' functional skills in their environment.

She can think perfectly fine. She can't perform perfectly fine. Which includes almost every aspect of her life.

So by that definition, would you also consider people with debilitating diseases such as Parkinson's retarded as well?

[ripoffhitman]

Hopefully this one in a million fluke won't make people go batshit crazy about flu shots.

[Dmabster]

Women retarded before flu shot as well

SEXISM IS FUNNY!

She is not retarded or disabled, she is merely handicaped, she can do anything a normal person can, but with greater difficulty. Thus meaning she is handicaped.

[Yrtnej]

I guess she'll just have to keep running her entire life.

+1 cool point for getting the reference.

Depends...
Of course if it prevented the individual from functioning in society... and it is a problem with the brain... by definition they are retarded.

Handicapped is also just a euphemism.

But instead of arguing semantics... why not share your opinion about the terrible situation the woman is in.

It was posted about a month ago, but I don't remember the name of the topic.

To retard something means to stop or inhibit it. Her movement is inhibited, therefore her movement is retarded. Even if you mean mentally retarded, she still is. If you payed attention to the video, she has a neurological disorder. That means it has to do with the brain ;). Her brain's control over her muscles is retarded. Therefore, she is mentally retarded.

d00d, you really can't trust anything these days.

[Kwing]

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. Walking backwards and running, eh?

[GeneralAC]

Being handicapped refers to anything that makes your life more difficult, meaning she is handicapped, as she can't move as easily as a normal person, she also can't complete daily tasks as easily, such as eating.

She is also retarded for the same reasons.

[Chymeraxe]

You know what's really retarded?

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.
