Israel: 57-Y/O Dies Following Swine Flu Vaccine

A 57-year-old kidney patient who received a swine flu vaccination two weeks ago died on Monday in Soroka Medical Center in Beersheva. Hospital officials report the woman arrived three days earlier, exhibiting severe difficulty breathing. Her condition deteriorated rapidly, and she was admitted to an intensive care unit.

Health officials report the woman died of a respiratory infection and her death is in no way connected to the vaccination.

    “Health officials report the woman died of a respiratory infection and her death is in no way connected to the vaccination.”
    This makes your Headline rather misleading doesn’t it?
    In fact, it makes the entire story decidedly un-newsworthy.
    Why fan the flames of hysteria this way??

    To #1: Because “Dog Bites Man” does not sell papers, but “Man Bites Dog” does.
    Isn’t it a shame that the vaccination wasn’t developed by a “chareidi?”. Then the headline could have read “Death of 57 Y/O Liked to Chareidi.”

    “Linked to Chareidi”. Sorry for the error.
