Vaccine Injury Isn't Just for Babies: The Desiree Jennings Flu Shot Story

Managing Editor's Note: As part of their vaccine safety and injury outreach initiative, Generation Rescue brings us the story of Desiree Jennings. Click (HERE) to learn how you can get involved. A Dr. Vincour, from the U. of Maryland has called Ms. Jennings's symptoms, "psychogenic," which means originating in the mind, not in true physiological illness. In fact, they are going to use her case to teach students about crazy women who think a vaccine could injure them. Psychogenic is akin to the word, "hysteria" which comes from the Greek word, "hyster" for uterus. Hysteria is a female disease. Psychogenic too, in this case, according to the "experts."

My name is Desiree Jennings and I am twenty-five years old. I work full-time as a Marketing Communications Manager for a major Internet company. I am currently working to finish my bachelor's degree in Finance and Economics this fall and hope to continue on to a Masters in Economics in 2010.

In my spare time, I enjoy running and training for races from 5Ks to marathons. I also lead a local run club, training beginning runners for 5K and 10K races. I am training for the National Marathon in DC in March and recently became a member of the Washington Redskins Cheerleader Ambassador team. That was the life that I used to know.

On August 23, 2009, I received a seasonal flu vaccine at a local grocery store that drastically, and potentially irreversibly, altered my future. In a matter of a few short weeks I lost the ability to walk, talk normally, and focus on more than one stimuli at a time. Whenever I eat I know, without fail, that my body will soon go into uncontrollable convulsions coupled with periods of blacking out. 

Each day is a battle to control the symptoms triggered by the flu vaccine and a reminder that my life will never be the same.  I set up this site to tell my story and warn people of the neurological side effects than can result from vaccinations; especially knowing that in the majority of cases, these stories are seldom heard outside of immediate families and friends. 

I hope everyone that reads my story will heed my warning and think very carefully, including watching my story, reading the information about vaccine side effects on this website, reading the vaccine package insert, considering the natural remedies for flu and H1N1 on this site, and seeking out consultations with the doctors found on this website, before making the decision to receive a vaccination.

Sincerely,

Desiree Jennings

The "experts" (liars)always try to cover up their tracks.Denial is the only thing they have,everything is a coincidence. Believe the victim, do not believe big pharma and
the Psychiatric mad man who will blame the victim.She had suffered adverse effects at the wrong time,at the time of the winter flu shot orders. Top of that she is very beautiful and gets lot of attention. That is a big problem for pharma,because mercury,
aluminum,detrgent vaccines are "safe and effective".This video and the awareness she had created is going to reduce the$$$$ pie
pharma is dreaming about.

In 1976 there was a swine flu vaccination program just like the one currently being pushed. 500 lawsuits were filed due to Guillain-Barre syndrome being a side effect. For smart people like the "boing" the symptoms are almost exactly like dystonia which Ms. Jennings has been diagnosed with. After 10 weeks the vaccination program was halted. Just this week in Britian the doctors are being told to watch out for symptoms of Guillain-Barre. Perhaps slow persons like "boing" will believe their trusty MSM instead of a single doctor of questionable repute.

Please google about the deaths of young girls here in the US who got the Gardasil vaccine...it's discusting. Yes, deaths. Blame it on what you will, but one girl is still alive, diagnosed with a deadly disease, as she was once a 4.0 student, and wants to get the word out asap about the vac.
Spain actually pulled there Gardasil vaccines after only TWO girls went into seizures. Do they love their daughters more than we??
Think, think, think Pooh. Think.

Hello AOA followers,

Desiree's story is very true. A friend of our's who also has a child with Autism just met her yesterday at the same Doctor's office where she gets treatment. It is just a shame what happened to her.

I pray she has a safe and complete recovery.

God Bless you Desiree.

What a shame, what a beautiful and vivacious and obviously healthy young lady who was someone’s wife and daughter.

Vaccines are snake oil and I tell people that all of the time as a physician, and I mean everyday in my clinic or in the OR. People simply do not believe you because they have been programmed to trust the government. The government which has become fascist knows this and is in a conflicted relationship with several pharmaceutical companies to make money selling vaccines so they can pay for an AIDS vaccine which they will never successfully make. They simply are not smart enough, and most drug dealers are not that smart and these drug dealers are actually stupid, further when you are insane it lessens your chance for a successful outcome.

As you may or may not know Merck spent $500 million dollars a year for twenty years totaling 10 billion dollars trying to make a AIDS vaccine. After all of those years and money they determined that they finally had a vaccine that would work as it prevented the replication of the HTLV-III virus in the macaques(primates)they had been using in experiments. The vaccine was then used in Africans (blacks being used yet again)to test the efficacy of the vaccine and most if not all of the subjects came down with AIDS. Later when asked about what happened Anthony Fauci of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) replied that they determined that they had the wrong animal model.

TRANSLATION They spent 10 billion dollars over twenty years on the wrong monkey. This is stupidity on a entirely new level. Generally you figure out which monkeys to use in the first million dollars not the last of 10 billion dollars. Further if the vaccine animal model was wrong for an AIDS virus what made it right for all of the other vaccines they used it for and gave to our children and young adults like this poor girl? NEWS FLASH We should not be using these animal models as they probably in all likelihood are the wrong animal model. How many times have you heard someone say I got the flu shot and got the flu? What a trillion? DO NOT VACCINATE FOR ANYTHING EVER

With regard to this imbecile Boing. This guy is a lackey, a fecalcrat that will vomit up his stupidity all over the web as ordered to so just ignore him.

Unless you are a monkey or a boing (monkey is probably smarter) DO NOT VACCINATE

Regarding:

"Yeah. Vaccination screwed up my friend too. The day he got his flu jab, he got drunk, drove his car and had accident. Ever since he drunk drove and crashed his car, his life has been a constant battle. And he thinks he drunk drove because of?? you guessed right, the bloody flu vaccine! What a logical thing to say, right?

Oh yeah, the day my aunt got the flu jab, she got laid off her work. Surely this is all because of the dreadful flu jab.

Just how these people make connection between what is most likely two completely separate events is beyond me. Aren't people stupid......"

Dear Boing Boing,

It seems by your total lack of logical reasoning and total lack of sympathy that the only solution for your problem is to experience these horrific vaccine reactions yourself, or to witness this happening in your own child. And since you are so insolent and sarcastic, your attitude reveals that you are lining up for the flu shots and so I just hope that you don't have any children which you will submit to this risky venture of Russian Roulette. All children rely upon their parents to educate themselves regarding their protection. Sadly, your present or future children do not have you to protect them from the potential damages caused by vaccines, which include documented delayed adverse reactions, of which Autism is just the tip of the iceberg.

[Death by Flu Shot]

the last flu shot I ever got caused me to get a flu-like illness that lasted 6 weeks, baffling multiple doctors and evading multiple antibiotics, steriods, and inhalers. When my body finaly stopped the racking "coughing till I turned purple in the face" episodes that scared the crap out of the doctors, I was left with a severe case of what has been known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. My injuries were described in almost the exact detail of Stan Kurtz's neighbor in the documentary film by Stan made entitled "Death by Flu Shot".

Desiree, I am truly sorry they are jerking you around. Been there, done that. Hang in there.

I wonder how many would get vaccines if they understood if they had a bad reaction they would a very tiny chance of being compensated.The doctors and media are very careful to hide the risks and side effects of vaccines, that is why they do not refer to them as drugs being injected directly into your bloodstream with potential side effects that can be life altering.
