Flu victim..SAD
8-year-old mother of two died of flu complications on Sunday just days after deciding the medicine she was prescribed to treat the illness was too expensive.
Heather Holland, a second-grade teacher at Ikard Elementary School in Weatherford, Texas, began exhibiting flu symptoms about a week before her death, according to her husband, Frank Holland.
Holland went to a doctor and was prescribed flu medication, but when she went to pick it up and learned about the $116 copay, she decided to forgo the prescription, believing it wasn't worth the money.
When Holland's husband found out about the copay incident on Thursday night, he went back to the pharmacy and bought the prescription himself, but by that point, her condition had swiftly deteriorated.*
"Friday night, things escalated and she ended up in the ICU," Holland told The Weatherford Democrat. "The doctors got the blood cultures back and they had to put her on dialysis early Saturday."
On Sunday morning, Holland passed away from flu complications, leaving behind her husband, a 10-year-old daughter and a 7-year-old son.*
"I have to be strong for the kids but it’s still surreal, it hasn’t all set in," Frank Holland said. "We've been together a long time, over half my life. She's my best friend, my soulmate, my everything."
The family's pastor, Clark Bosher, told WJBK that Holland was a "happy, fulfilled person" who was just trying to do what was best for her family when she tragically died.
"She wouldn't go get medicine because she's a mama. Mama's are tough. She just kept going. She had a job; she had kids," Bosher told the outlet. "I think any mom does that. I don't think she is being irresponsible. I don't think she thought she was that sick. It happened so quick." <snip>

This isn't influenza.
The CDCs own report said that only 12% of the cultures tested as being suspected influenza cases actually tested positive for a flu variant this year*
Yeah so.....
That's that.
88% of people with the flu....dont have the flu.

This is some seriously scary shit.*
I have a wife and two daughters. Our diet is 90% organic and we use all natural products to avoid chemicals. Also supplement with a fistful of vitamins, minerals, and probiotics, apple cider vinegar, ginger, garlic, turmeric, etc.*
No flu shots, no vaccines.*
We’re all healthy, but this so-called “flu” has me seriously worried.*

Re: Mom of 2 dies of the flu after deciding medication was too expensive
dont lie, their is no medication for the flu, only your body can fight it off, medication doesn't help.. tamiflu helps with symptoms it can not kill a virus, it does nothing for the flu itself. The flu can only kill you two possible ways Cytokine storm or Pneumonia. Cytokine storm can easily be prevented by smoking a couple cigarettes, FACT. and Pneumonia with inhalation of an antibacterial like vaporized colloidal silver for instance or again a couple cigarettes which will kill the bacteria in the lungs. This is why they trained you to think smokeing is bad for you when it is the exact opposite.

She didn't think her life was worth a hundred bucks?
What a retard!
And she was a mother and in charge of teaching other people's kids as well?
No sympathy, apart from the children now motherless. The dad shouldn't have bred with someone so stupid, sorry.

You don't know her economic situation. Up until now, she hadn't died- so, probably didn't expect to...
And, do you really have that much faith in meds to have saved her?

Re: Mom of 2 dies of the flu after deciding medication was too expensive
the story is unclear whether she took the Tamiflu before she deteriorated.
So, we see that he went back to the pharmacy and got her the Tamiflu, but "by then" her condition deteriorated rapidly.
Other versions online have even less detail, but it could just as easily be that she actually crashed AFTER she took Tamiflu.
It's a critical difference, whether she did or did not take a dose of the meds BEFORE she got even worse.

it is established fact that your odds of dying from the flu are increased taking flu medication. Lots of statistics on that.

We are making that choice right now. Food for my child or flu meds for my husband. Hopefully she doesn't get it also.
So I can empathize with that sort of plight.

I have a sister in law that got the shot along with my two nephews and they all got the flu a couple of months back. My brother did not get the shot, was around them when they had the flu, and he did not get it.

EXACTLY
Many have died AFTER taking tamiflu and flu shot. The way the article reads it sounds like the hubby got the tamiflu she then took it and died.

They are pulling at your heartstrings to get you to take the vaccine/shots. Is it working yet? Will you get your shot next year?

She may not have known her life was at stake.
She may not have had the means to pay $119. You assume everyone has a credit card but you are mistaken. I have left ER with prescriptions I could not fill.
It's obnoxious that emergency treatment sometimes is limited
