A Cheerleader named Desiree Jennings got dystonia from the flu vaccine. Why do some people claim it is a hoax?
I’ve seen her on the news. It’s no hoax. She has neurological damage from a seasonal flu shot.

Furthermore, why would anyone hoax something like this? I think some people are in denial of what a vaccination CAN do.

It seems that several have a problem with the “news source”. I would like to add that I initially saw this on my Local News TV station. It wasn’t through Inside Edition or National Inquirer. Local news broadcast… But I realize that even the “real” news can spread propaganda.

This whole thing is a media creation. If the media had taken the time to consult an actual neurologist first, the headlines would have read “Dystonia Hoax”. Unfortunately, some will be influenced to avoid getting the flu shot just because of this!
I am a neurologist. I have watched the videos and I forwarded them to dystonia experts many of whom have already seen the videos. One movement disorder specialist went ON THE AIR stating that this is “psychogenic” dystonia. In other words, this patient is malingering or at least “playing the sick role”. Her actual correct diagnosis is a psychological diagnosis not a neurological one.
This is NOT dystonia and it does a great disservice to those who actually DO have dystonia. Please, go on you tube and look at some videos of patients with real dystonia.
Neurologists see patients with “fake” symptoms almost daily. This individual picked the perfect disorder to fake. She knows there is no lab test or MRI that can disprove her. Write it down, she is in this for personal gain — and she is succeeding!. I promise you will find her walking normally five years from now and probably even around her home right now!
This woman is sick, mentally sick. She’s definitely not the first to fake dystonia. She’s just the first to get the media involved. Shame on the media for reporting this!
