The Truth:

A fake news website is behind this hoax.

World News Daily Report started that rumor with a story headlined, “Texas: 14-Year Old Virgin Falls Pregnant After Flu Shot.” The story reports the girl experienced nausea and severe cramps after receiving the vaccine:

San Angelo, TX | A 14-year old schoolgirl has suffered serious complications after a flu shot allegedly left the young girl terribly ill and with severe cramps, until the family doctor finally realized weeks later she had been impregnated by the vaccine, reports the Forth Worth Telegram this week.

After symptoms persisted several weeks, the distressed mother brought her child to the Whole Womans Health of Forth Worth medical clinic where she was found to be pregnant moments later.

“She was in excellent health beforehand. After a few days she became very unwell, she had all the symptoms of a fever” explains her mother. “It took a good few weeks before she felt better, but the nausea continued. She would throw up every day or so, until eventually we went to see Dr Hersch who realized she was pregnant” she told local reporters, visibly still under shock.

The fake report was quickly shared more than 200,000 times on social media sites. Taken out of context, many readers believed that it was true and questioned the “medical diagnosis” that the girl had been impregnated by a flu shot. One reader commented:

As a former resident of San Angelo who learned all too quickly what kids do for fun as their parents overwhelmingly choose to ignore what’s going on right under their noses, I’m pretty confident this girl got pregnant the traditional way. And anyone who doesn’t consider sex a form of witchcraft knows a girl can become pregnant with the hymen intact. I went to college with three different girls who became pregnant (and were definitely awake during conception) whose mothers (who didn’t know each other) told everyone they were drugged and molested at frat parties, if that tells you anything.

But the girl wasn’t impregnated by a flu shot or “the traditional way” because World News Daily Report is known for publishing fake news reports that trick readers into believing they’re true.

According to the website’s disclaimer, it assumes “all responsibility for the satirical nature of its articles and for the fictional nature of their content.”

Summary – The teen girl claiming to be impregnated by flu shot is found a scam.

Reaction – It is hard to belive that people even thought this was and or is slightly true, it is so hard to grasp why people thought this was true. I can’t imagine how this lie affected her family.

World Impact – Considering since numorous people belived this to be true must show that our world is pretty gullable and will trust everything they see or here on news or media to be true. I think that is leaving us vonurable and gullable.

“I lived in Mosul for five months under ISIS. I tried to avoid trouble but one of my neighbors reported me for shaving my beard. They came to my house while I was sleeping. My mother answered the door and they pushed her out of the way and dragged me out of bed. They asked me why I’d shaved my beard. I didn’t know what to tell them. They dragged me into the center of the city and made me kneel next to five other men. They called out on loudspeakers for everyone to come and watch. A large crowd gathered. The faces in the crowd seemed sad but they had no choice but to watch. ‘These men are atheists,’ they said. ‘And they will be punished.’ They took off my shirt and put a blindfold on me. They said that anyone who tried to go to the hospital afterward would be killed. I was the fifth one to be whipped. I could hear the men before me scream out in strange voices. When the first lash hit me, the pain was so bad that it felt like my soul left my body. They lashed me twelve times. I lost consciousness before it ended and woke up in bed.”

This is my favorite story byfar, it tells of a time of sorrow and pain,a nd for anyone to overcome this takes a brave heart and soul. The pain and misorry that she went through is unbarable and so crul that it is astonishing that she can tell this story

Frank Edwards says the growing violence on the streets comes with major consequences.

“It’s only two ways the streets are going to take you. It will take you to the pen, or it will take you to the grave,” Edwards said.
Edwards says he joined a gang when he was just 14 years old.

“We wasn’t a gang then, we was just a group of guys,” Edwards told us, but he says that eventually escalated.
Edwards says he served time for assault, drug possession, and felony possession of a fire arm.

“Some of everything, violence…drugs. My first prison stay was actually for aggravated assault,” he adds, “Just being crazy. Trying to rep for the ‘hood, trying to live by the street cred. It cost me.”
After spending three years in solitary confinement, Edwards says he wanted to turn his life around, but that came with challenges.

“You have to have a made up-mind that you don’t want the same thing. You have to prioritize and put what’s more important to you, your life, your family,” Edwards says.
The 43-year-old says his time on the streets of Longview landed him in prison for 17 years.
Pastor Jerry D. Skinner mentored Edwards throughout the years, and he says today’s generation has the wrong priorities.

“They want to be in gangs, they want to be like other kids, but the church is a hand that could help them,” Skinner said.
Which is why Edwards says he uses his time speaking to kids and teens about his journey.

“To be that testimony that kids need. If you love these youngsters out in these streets, if you really love them, you will show them there’s a better way,” Edwards said.
Both men believe there is hope for the city of Longview.
“We got some bad apples out there, but everybody is not bad,” Skinner said.
Edwards says it’s going to take some dedication from parents, teachers and community leaders to make a positive influence.

Summary- Ex gang member believes there is hope for Longview
World impact- This impacts me because I know some people who admire this lifestyle and claim to be involved in this and the truth is it’s not as glamorous as the TV and media makes it sound. Eventually you will be in a corner with no way out. So even though this is meant for just Longview it speaks for almost every other city, especially ones that have gang, drug, violence, or any kind of problems, this article should stand for itself.
