I didn't see anything about insurance cash, but the "reporting" is woeful, there is no documented causation by the flu shot, experts in the condition she is reported as having question the diagnosis...it's all arm chair analysis, and I have no doubt that it is a tragic situation she is dealing with, but there are big holes in some of the dot connecting people are doing...
I have seen people with very weird physical symptoms that were all in their head... including someone with paralyzed legs. It is certianly possible she is doing it for attention... but also possible that it is involuntary. It doesn't mean her issue isn't real... just that the cause of it is not the flu shot... which was the whole reason the story was in the media in the first place.
