H1N1 Flu Shot Cripples Cheerleader – An H1N1 flu shot crippled Washington Redskins cheerleader Desiree Jennings by causing dystonia, a rare neurological disorder.
Cheerleader Desiree Jennings, 25, was struck down by a systemic reaction triggered by the H1N1 vaccine which has left her with seizures and partially paralyzed muscles.
Desiree fell ill 10 days after getting an H1N1 flu shot, with her first symptoms being difficulty in swallowing while eating and then rapidly progressing to impaired speech and painful muscle spasms.
When standing still or sitting, the young newlywed is overcome by crippling muscle spasms which stop her walking or talking properly.
Oddly, Jennings can walk backwards without difficulty and running forward causes all the symptoms to abate until she stops.

And that’s the latest from Action News on Desiree Jennings.

Has this happened to anyone else who got the H1N1 flu shot? I don’t think I would get a shot if I got sick like Desiree

Good luck with your recovery Desire. I hope you get better soon. I won’t get a h1n1 flu shot

There will prayers for you Desiree, many, mine will be amongst them.
Our bodies do what is right for themselves about 97% of the time. Only with evidence of a real epidemic do we need vaccines. Thanks for informing people of this. Our society needs to re-think medicine, ….. among many other things.

Okay listen to this:
this website tells about H1N1 flu shot risks. Then watch the video. Desiree Jennings got the seasonal flu shot, not H1N1.
“Her life changed forever on Auguse the 23rd when she says she got a seasonal flu shot in a local grocery store,” (youtube vid above).
Read the facts people. Stupid media pigs trying to scare us out of getting protected from a deadly disease. I got the H1N1 shot. Other than feeling crappy that day I am fine.
On the other hand, a boy my age died of the swine flu a few weeks ago at a high school nearby. So it’s up to you.
I am only a young man in college, but I have already learned to never trust the media pigs. (Pigs? no pun intended)

Did Desiree get the H1N1 shot or the flu shot? I ask because when the interviewer said that she had a routine shot, that usually means the regular flu shot, not the H1N1 shot.
In any case my prayers will be with Desiree and her husband, i hope that she has a speedy recovery, it must be very difficult living that way.

Really…..
I feel sorry for anyone who falls into the antivaccine movement…’
decades of peer reviewed unquestionable scientific research overturned by a bunch of overfunded morons.
evolution at work… if anyone wants to stop getting vaccinated than so be it..
could make a whole book of dawin awards out of this nonsense

No-one should ever be injected with the toxins in those vaccines. Just keep your hands washed, and be aware of hygiene, and you won’t get sick from colds and flu. The drug companies are just trying to ensure repeat business by injecting unnatural toxic substances into your bloodstream which destroy your nutrition and compromise your natural immune system.

I watched the show 20/20 on Desiree on tv tonight in Australia and for anyone to say she is putting it on if very harsh and how much do we know what reaction anyone will get from the flu vac the H1N1 vac in Australia was based on EGG and if you have reaction to egg you could not get it so how does anyone know if Desiree reacted with the metal used in it and if it is to do with her brain try something like let her lissen to music she likes while doing things and see if it destracts her sencers so normal actions is not a thought of movement and for all those I seen on show putting her down what would they do if this was them the brain is a very powerfull part of the body who knows what it can do good luck Desiree in finding a cure for a normal life……..this is one ausie behind you

I have a non-verbal retarded daughter who became ill after very first flu shot autumn 2001, but as it took weeks to develop, the connection to the flu shot was not known, and the condition was undiagnosed. Due to her health status going down, I figured she should have the shot the following year, and she became dramatically worse in a short period of time after that one, including needing a wheelchair and pureed foods. It still took 3 or 4 months for testing and diagnosis of CIDP- Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy. She took IV Ig for it, and she got slowly better. Then I put her on Dr Joel Fuhrman’s anti-inflammatory diet and she vastly improved. But she is left with permanently damaged nerve receptors and peripheral automics. Weaker and walks a little funny, but can swallow and gets around.

It is good when i stumble on a fantastic post such as this. Getting a touch tired with the poor quality posts quite a few bloggers write on their blogs. Keep it up. You now have a frequent subscriber now!

I know this is an old story, but it appears people still stumble by this article. Just so people are aware she has been found out to be a hoax. She has since been “cured” and because dystonia is incurable she could not of had that. Additionally the person who “cured” her was an alternative medicine practitioner and the actual doctors who examined her said her condition was most likely psychological or in other words she is an attention starved nut job.
