Look at you getting way personal two moves ahead! So that we don't oversimplify social phobia for the sake of winning an Internet argument: like all mental illnesses, there are certainly biological and psychological components which overlap to a great degree. The mind even has the ability to change its own chemistry, which makes the matter very complicated.

You are dismissing this woman's problem as psychosomatic only because she has made the connection that the vaccine happened just before onset
No

You are accepting this woman's problem as evidence of harm via vaccine... why? There's no actual evidence. You say things like, nobody else proved any other cause! But that explanation doesn't make any sense, you know?

I am offering an alternate explanation for why she is experiencing her symptoms. I am skeptical of the explanation that you and Inside Edition offered, because I find it to be weak, and I seek facts to understand it more completely.

Skepticism is healthy, and you should welcome challenges to your beliefs. When your point of view is challenged, either you will find that you are correct and thus your view is strengthened, or you find that you are incorrect and thus you change your view. In either case you are improved by it.
