Vaccine Victim Desiree Jennings Viciously Attacked By Medical Establishment
Paul Joseph Watson
Former Redskins cheerleader Desiree Jennings, the woman who suffered a paralyzing neurological disorder after taking a flu shot, has come under ceaseless attack from the medical establishment as well as websites acting as apologists for the pharmaceutical industry, who claim that her entire illness is a hoax despite the fact that her condition has been confirmed as genuine by numerous doctors.
Jennings was a fit and healthy cheerleader up until August when she got a seasonal flu shot. Ten days after the shot she began experiencing flu like symptoms, followed by severe convulsions and black outs. After seeing around 60 doctors, Jennings was eventually diagnosed with dystonia, a paralyzing neurological disorder that causes the muscles to relentlessly contract and spasm, causing extreme difficulties with walking, talking and general body movements.
Despite the fact that doctors who vigorously examined her condition at both Fairfax Inova and Johns Hopkins confirmed that she was suffering from dystonia, and that the cause of the illness was her reaction to the flu shot, numerous apologists for big pharma have ludicrously claimed that her story is a hoax and that her disease is imaginary, citing no evidence whatsoever and having had no contact with Jennings at all.
The chief culprit in erroneously circulating rumors that Jennings’ condition was a “hoax” has to be “The Inquisitr” website, a tabloid gossip rag that in-between obsessing about the vacuous activities of Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan, also thinks it has the knowledge to dismiss medical conditions by watching You Tube videos. On October 22, the website carried the headline, Cheerleader Flu Shot Girl: Hoax or Real? The story mentions that Jennings’ condition had been diagnosed by several doctors as genuine, yet still implies that the story is a “hoax,” citing no proof whatsoever. The agenda behind this becomes clear when the website lambastes “anti-vaccination nutters” for merely highlighting the case.
Not content with savaging a young woman whose life was almost destroyed just once, The Inquisitr went back for a second helping, with a story on Monday claiming that Jennings is now “cured” and that, “The chances of the whole thing being a hoax just went from about 50% to pushing towards 100%.” This time around, the website didn’t even bother to mention the fact that numerous doctors at major medical establishments had personally diagnosed Jennings with neurological problems, instead they claimed that Jennings had merely “told the media” that she had the disease.
In addition, the claim that Jennings is “cured” is another contrivance. The latest footage of Desiree shows her in a chair hooked up to a drip. Jennings has made progress as a result of treatment provided by doctors in LA with the aid of Generation Rescue, the charity that helped Jenny McCarthy’s son recover from autism after a vaccine, but she is far from “cured”.
Blogger Mark Lorenz, writing on the Manolith website, viciously attacks Jennings for ‘faking’ her disease while again providing no proof at all that she faked it, failing to mention that doctors confirmed she had a disease, and failing to explain what possible benefit a young, healthy and happy cheerleader could get from wasting months of her life “feigning” a debilitating illness.
“But guess what? It was all fake,” he writes. “Yes, fake. All of the hemming and hawwing and talk over how vaccines are terrible and need to be tested more, mostly from the same people who say no food is safe to eat but raw food, and LOOK AT MY HYBRID CAR — their poster girl is fake. Sorry if I seem contemptuous, but I have no sympathy for people who go on national TV feigning illnesses and blaming them on a source that might actually do some good in the world.”
The aggressive zeal with which these bloggers have ceaselessly attacked a diseased young woman is stunning to behold, but they seem to be borrowing most of their cockamamie talking points from Dr. David Gorski, labeled “the bitchy diva of Scienceblogs,” by Age of Autism writer J.B. Handley.
In his article today, Handley exposes how Gorski, who has been on the warpath attempting to smear and discredit the “anti-vaccine movement,” has seized upon the Jennings story with wanton abandon in an effort to rebuild the credibility of vaccines that are being rejected in accelerating numbers across America due to concerns about side-effects and dangerous additives like mercury and squalene.
Handley chastises Gorski’s “angry, disrespectful, biting, caustic, and immature approach” in his efforts to counter the Desiree Jennings case. The main body of his article is reprinted below.
The Desiree Jennings case appears to be bringing out the absolute worst in many of the bloggers who oppose our community. As one example, I read a post by Dr. Steven Novella where he “reported” on a string of events involving Generation Rescue and the Desiree Jennings case that had no basis in reality and was simply false. We have neurologists breaking tabloid-level stories? Dr. Novella as investigative journalist? Too funny.
In no particular order, the Desiree Jennings case appears to be causing doctors to break all sorts of medical ethical boundaries including:
- Challenging Ms. Jennings’ original diagnosis of dystonia. Since when do doctors make long-distance video-only diagnoses? Don’t these doctors realize, by offering up potentially false commentary on the nature of Ms. Jennings diagnosis in a story that has captivated the world, that they will one day be called to task for such a glaring breach of medical ethics?
- Claiming Ms. Jennings condition is all in her head. For parents of children with autism, this one has a familiar ring. How on earth do Doctors like Gorski and Novella dare throw out a psychological diagnosis on a patient they have never examined? Thank God she found a doctor who knew it was all in her body.
- Claiming the flu shot couldn’t possibly cause her condition. Once again, how on earth does a long-distance doctor determine this? Vaccines cause a wide variety of side-effects, but Ms. Jennings’ condition just couldn’t be vaccine-induced? To hell with what doctors who did examine her actually determined, we are the only arbiters of truth. It’s nuts.
- Claiming she couldn’t possibly recover from a condition she didn’t even have. Forget the HBOT, chelation, B-12, vitamins, etc., Ms. Jennings couldn’t possibly recover, much like our kids never do, either.
It’s great to watch these “doctors” dig themselves into a bigger and bigger hole. I’m not sure doctors like David Gorski realizes how silly their comments look to the average American and how much they have exposed themselves as the true story of what Desiree went through emerges. Thank you, Orac, for showing the world your true colors, because the world is most certainly watching.
The desperation with which apologists for the vaccine industry have gone about trying to savage the credibility of the Desiree Jennings case illustrates how damaging the story has been to the pharmaceutical lobby and their floundering agenda to coerce as many people as possible into taking their dangerous swine flu shot.
The Jennings case, allied to the story out of Germany about how elitists were given access to a special version of the vaccine that didn’t contain additives but was not available to the general public, has undoubtedly contributed to the mass resistance to the H1N1 shot that continues to build across Europe, Canada and North America.
No amount of callous back-biting, gnashing of teeth, and contrived smear attempts on behalf of the vaccine lobby and their media apologists can now stop that momentum. The word is out – people know what’s in your vaccines and there’s no way to reverse that revelation.

Hi There Desiree; You stick with it girl/and thank your lucky stars that your husband had the-true-gut-feeling to get you into the proper care that your body was-screaming-out for. I’m wishing for you…right as this minute; all the strength and courage that you are going to need in the coming weeks ahead. Because the leeches have attached themselves; all you have to do now is ‘GIVE THEM VINEGAR.’ I’m on the outside looking into the
‘FARCICAL FISHBOWL’ that is the US Health system at This Time in History, and Boy O’ Boy do they look Daft. This will be written about in the years to come as (America’s Big Pharma’s Pig Trough.) All the lies & cover-ups, the deceitful attitude of literally hundreds of people. I’m going to predict that the rats will be leaving the sinking ship soon, & a lot of finger pointing going on into the bargain. I will never be able to fathom-out why this has gone on for so long. Corruption really does bring a terrible taste to your mouth. We always teach our kids to share everything. What we sow we reap etc; etc; Perhaps the Courts will now come to the AID Of The People, I Pray, these Wrongs are put Right….My Good wishes to you and yours. d.f.

I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised at this point but I still am shocked and frightened by the lengths the drug companies will go to for a profit. And a profit obviously isn’t enough, it has to be a ridiculously big profit before corporations are satisfied. It is no wonder that Greed is one of the 7 deadly sins. It seems to erase all evidence of decency and humanity.
This society will only be able to continue this type of mentality for so long before it self destructs.

Right on, Rev. Lynn, but you got just one little thing wrong. Greed is NEVER satisfied. That’s what makes it greed. ergo, corporations will never be satisfied either.

#it has to be a ridiculously big profit before corporations are satisfied#
People are partially guily for being ignorant of what corporations target. There’ll be no corp. satisfaction ever, and many millions suffer till they realize that ruling minority will ever stop (of cause by means of kiling people when they need) Those guys know/respect no humane ethics, they are cancer sells, all of them (food, pharma, any big corp. mass media, IMF, WHO, you name it)
Cancer sells are taking over intill you agree with it.

To think doctors took an oath to NEVER intentionally HARM ANYONE….huh. There are so many of these cases that get swept under the rug !!!!! And on the clinical forms for these shots, they even mention if there is a history of neurological brain nervous disorders NOT to get the shot……..so hmmmm seems to me they know the risks and do not want to inform the public !!! Its all about money and control. BE ENCOURAGED Desiree, you are on the right track!!!!! This treatment is so sickening and ugly !!

My family and I all wish and send you our best. This should never happen, but you got unlucky and the brown shirts are rallying around to slam the one who can do them the most harm.
You had the American dream and it was stolen from you by the fascists who would run/ruin the world.
They’ll spend more money on and time trying to make themselves look good on this than the GDP of many small countries.
Millions of folks out here know what they did to you for the sake of their bottom line, and they will get their just rewards yet.

Well if it makes you feel any better, I went and knocked a few heads together at their site.
It doesn’t take much to point out the fact that the guy who wrote the articles has no expereince or evidence and is just trying to increase readership. And the lemmings who believe their tabloid trash are incapable of thinking for themselves. I directed them all towards the cliff.

I think that Desiree has grounds for a very solid lawsuit against these s.o.b.s . Sue them for libel, and make them prove she never had this disease.
Go after them as viciously as they are going against you.
[Reply]
Hello dear Desiree, I am so sorry that this happened to you. It may just be not so common,but I am sure that the medical producers are aware that yes it can be so. They just trying to rob you from your life because if they accept that there is a chance for this then they feel that the general public will take advantage and they will have to pay out a whole lots of money. Now, they are working hard to disallow your claim, so that it will be not even a chance that any one with the same unfortunate happening related to this drug can or will collect on any claim. The truth is that your body have been put under some terrible stress and trial, and I pray and hope that you will recover. Also, I pray that the evidence that be produced will override the hungry for all they can take with out any kinds of responsibility from the general public. The monster corporations are the ones doing this, and it also reflects in the drug industry. I pray that the hands of the Lord be on you and that he will bring justice over those who are up to destroy your entire life.
Always with love in the lights of Jesus,
Hugs… and may wellness become upon you.

Please do, let the docs keep giving their personal opinions – they only add testament to what “they” are really all about – and it’s obviosley not the patient but their own ego’s. I’snt it funny how every drug commercial out there has a zillion side effects lised but when one of them actually causes one of the side effects in a real person all of the sudden it’s in the patients head or all made up. Keep in mind also that these few doctors don’t represent all doctors and they are the ones that will be phased out if they don’t get with the program of real health-care.

I would like to know how to contact Desiree Jenkins. I have some useful knowledge that will help her eliminate the effects of the vaccine.
[Reply]
Dear Desiree,
I hope that you can at least try a regimen of the Miracle Mineral Supplement. I have been using it for several months and I will not be getting a H1N1 flu shot because I really believe that keeping my immune system strong is the proper answer to overcoming any threat of this virus. I hope you can really give this a try. Meanwhile I promise to keep you in my prayers that you will have the strength to return to good health again.
With God’s Love,
Carl

After 40 years of hospital work, I know that prevention of disease arrives in ways other than shots.. Wash your hands 10+ times per day,use salt water or mouthwash every 2 hours & drink hot drinks to wash away bacteria in the mouth.
[Reply]
In my opinion if there wasn’t any truth to any of this then why would people and Drs have their panties in such a twist? They must feel threatened that MAYBE, just maybe, there is another way.
In all of my life experiences I have learned that when people get venomous and spew nasty words to discredit someone (and other experts), 9 times out of 10 its because there is money involved and/or there more than an ounce of truth to what they feel threatened by.
I know what I know and I will keep being preventative of my family and myself and that includes no flu shots of any kind, ever. PERIOD.

Listen, 3 points here.
1st) her son was cured of autism after receiving a vaccine.
2) she has a very severe response after receiving a vaccine
3) Read above where some elitists in Germany were given special vaccines without ‘additives’. Find out if the vaccines ‘additives’ contain gluten. Gluten poisons many people: causes seizures, neurological problems, autism, to name three – but there are many more.
The medical industry, the government and the pharmaceutical companies are not doing their part to investigate these products and issues sufficiently. Everyone would be wise to study Celiac Disease, gluten intolerance and it’s link to so many health conditions. I believe her 100%.

No disrespect intended for what people like Desiree have to deal with. Sometimes we just need to laugh to keep from stressing out.

On one of her previous updates on this list, this is exactly what I called in the comment section; saw it coming a mile away! Interesting, though frustrating and sometimes depressing to always see things from outside “the box”! Uh oh, now I’ll be getting ads for psychotropics-r-us in my inbox! HA-ha …I think!?
[Reply]
My son has a rare neurological disorder triggered by his one year vaccines. His disorder is 1 in 10 million. Big Pharma needs to do more research and we need to quit letting them run our health care system!
[Reply]
Just hang in there Desiree! If a harmless vitamin causes even the littliest bit of harm, it is “accepted” as obviously caused by the vitamin, but when untested or undertested vaccines with mercury, aluminum, (neurotoxic or otherwise toxic metals), formaldehyde and many other poisonous compounds are injected into someone’s body and cause harm, it “can’t be possible.” Strangely, it appears as if your critics are behind on their Hooked on Phonics lessons as such cautions as paralysis and other ailments are listed in the package inserts of the vaccines.
Don’t take it personally. It’s plain old fashioned prejudice and ignorant people are like a pandemic in this country. As a nutritionist, I see the close-minded nature of the medical profession and those that blindly accept everything they say. Don’t take it personally! Albert Einstein said that “Great Spirits Have Always Encountered Violent Opposition from Mediocre Minds.” You’ve just received messages from many with mediocre minds. Pay no attention to them. Just continue on your path of using the therapies that work for you. Shame on your callous critics!
