If this was genuinely a psychological issue for her, she should own up and say as much. She allows it slightly in some of her comments, but doesn't say definitively.

I understand people want privacy, but she invited the news to cover her and she claimed this was all due to the vaccine.

She cost other peoples' lives with this when she allowed herself to be used by the anti-vaccine movement.

I hope she continues to heal and find a good path in life, but I was around for this and I remember the way she presented it all to the news and the video of her walking normally off-camera. I do not hold her as blameless in all this as she seems to hold herself.
