Redskins Cheerleader and Marathon Runner Has Terrible Reaction to Flu Vaccine

While having my morning cup of coffee one day last week, I had the morning news on in the background and heard a story that just outraged me.

It was a story about a local marathon runner and Redskins cheerleader named Desiree Jennings who back in August had the flu shot.  She has experienced some horrific side effects to this barely tested vaccine.

Someone was kind enough to post the clip I watched on You Tube.  check it out…

I thought long and hard about keeping my mouth shut this year as when I wrote about the dangers of the general flu
vaccine last year, I was torched by some who disagreed.

Then this past Sunday morning I’m watching CNN and saw a story about NY State Health workers being mandated to get the vaccine if they wanted to keep their jobs.  I found a snipet of that story as well here…

Is that crazy or what that you can lose your job by refusing to be injected with a virus!?!?

After writing about it last year, I did find comfort in some of the people who responded positively to what I had written. You can see that article here: Dangers Of The Flu Vaccine (Article will open in new window)

I thought about writing an updated article for this year given the new H1N1 hype and pressure from the media to get the shot.  When I finally saw Desiree’s story, I finally decided that I was going to.

That’s when I came across an excellently written article about a doctor who says he wouldn’t give the shot to his own children due to the lack of research involved with it.  Not only that the article that was so good, I felt there was no need to write my own.  Check it out here on their website…

The best way to avoid the flu is to get plenty of exercise, eat whole/clean/natural foods(preferably Organic Fruits and Vegetables) with plenty of vitamins/minerals, and get a solid 8 hours of sleep per night.  Those 3 things alone will build up and keep you immune system working at its absolute best.

    This particular instance was not a reaction to the H1N1 flu vaccine, but the seasonal flu vaccine (your headline is incorrect).

    Even so, this rare reaction could occur with any flu vaccine.

    I have a hard time putting much stock in an article that uses a misleading title. After watching the clip, it is apparent that the flu vaccine was not H1N1. This article is quite opportunistic—nice plug at the end for your personal training packages.

    For the record, I am very sympathetic towards this woman who seemed to have ended up with a terrible complication from a flu vaccine. People do need to be aware of risks involved in getting vaccines—but I wouldn’t recommend getting the information here.

    It is sad, but this article provides better insight to the possibility of side effect than the Major News outlets or the government. “It is perfectly safe,” Well, no it is not. Aside from injecting mercury in the body of developing children, you are also loading them up with numerous viruses.

    The fact is that Doctors can lose their license if they recommend or show any favor of avoiding the vaccination.

    Yeah..I saw the interview with her.. It is just so sad that this had to happen.. It is scary to think that having a flu shot could cause something like that.. How ever rare it is.. I gues it is a risk that some are willing to take. I thiought it was jsut the seasonal flu shot that she had though.
