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

Wow, that's very interesting. But some of us cannot get out of having the flu shot givin to us. Those of us in the health profession are forced to get both flu shots this year. the N1H1 and the regular flu shot. I also know that it is manditory for school children to get the vaccines in my state as well. I'm not sure what we are supposed to do if we do not WANT the vaccine. Pray, I guess.

Just fight against it!!!!  Was it written ANYWHERE in your job contract or job description that they "own" you and that you are REQUIRED to get these vaccines???  There's no way it can....  The state of New York won their fight against mandatory vaccines for health care workers.  You have EVERY legal, human and civil right to say no and refuse.  However, with knowing what I now about the "swine flu" H1N1 vaccine, if I had a job that would try to force me to get the shot or lose my job, I'd tell them they can have my job because my LIFE is far more important then my JOB.
