WASHINGTON REDSKIN AMBASSADOR HAS SERIOUS HEALTH PROBLEMS AFTER FLU SHOT (video inside)
The news has been reporting everyday about how important it is to get a flu shot. My mom has been on me about getting one. I wrote in my appointment book to get one this week. Someone sent me this disturbing video of a Redskin's cheerleader in training that received the flu shot that caused medical condition called Dystonia.
NBC Reports:
Desiree Jennings thought it would be a good idea to get the seasonal flu shot. Her job offered incentives for it, and she didn't want to get sick.
Ten days after she got the shot at a Reston Safeway, she did get sick.
"I got flu-like symptoms -- nausea, vomiting, body aches, fever -- then was lethargic for a week and started blacking out," said Jennings, an AOL employee and Washington Redskins ambassador hoping to one day be a cheerleader for the team, the Loudoun Times-Mirror reported.
The one time I received a flu shot..a day later I had the flu. Since then I have been skeptical about getting the shot.
More on Desiree's story:
Finally, doctors at Johns Hopkins figured it out, diagnosing dystonia, a rare neurological condition with no cure brought on by infections, brain trauma or, as is believed in her case, reaction to medication. It causes body jerks and abnormal or repetitive movements.
"A simple conversation with two people -- you and I could converse on the couch, and if the phone were to ring it would send her into a violent convulsion," said her husband, Brendan Jennings.
Strangely enough -- as she can't walk forward five feet without stumbling -- with some effort, she can perform one of her life's passions: running. And she walks backward with ease -- oddly empowering, now. After her ordeal began, "My insurance wasn't going to pay for another hospital visit. Matter of fact, they called us as we were driving to Johns Hopkins not to offer a specialist but instead to offer a hospital bed and a wheelchair for our house. I told them I wanted to know what was happening to me and that I didn't want to be in a wheelchair."
Her reaction is one in a million, doctors said.
"I would've much rather won the lottery and bought that ticket instead of gotten the flu shot if I knew that risk existed," she said.
One in a million is a high risk to me. I was looking at the news today and they said some cities received over two million vaccines. So chances are if you receive this shot this will happen?

What people don't realize is they have to guesstimate what strain of flu shot every year will be most prevalent.(hence the need for the new H1N1 vaccine) Many of these vaccines they are giving hey are using society as guinea pigs... no thanks! These drug companies are under time constraints and about the almighty EVIL $$$$$$$$$$$. They gave the flu shot at my job for free I passed and a few people became sick from it. I had one flu shot got sick laid up in bed for 5 days...NEVER AGAIN! Eat right take vitamins and wash your hands often!
