Desiree Jennings, like millions of other Americans decided to have a routine seasonal vaccine at her local supermarket. However, little did she know that she would soon start to experience some strange symptoms that would change her life forever.
However, were these symptoms as strange as they first appeared, or did Jennings make the whole thing up? There are several things to consider. Firstly, she claims that she has been cured by walking sideways or backwards.
Her ‘symptoms’ mean that she cannot walk forward, she cannot speak properly, she has seizures, and she passes out. She claimed that she had received a diagnosis of Dystonia, a rare disease. According to Jennings, the seasonal flu shot that she received was the cause.
However, there are several things that have been pointed out about this case that make it hard to believe. Firstly, she started to talk in a British accent, claiming that it was one of the symptoms. However, a specialist claimed that Dystonia would not change a person’s accent. Secondly, she claims that she cannot walk forward, and that she can walk backwards and sideways and this has cured her. However, news reporters obtained some footage of Jennings appearing to walk perfectly fine, forwards, and even driving. All of these things added up make for a very suspicious case indeed. Whether or not it is a hoax nobody will ever really know, but certain things in this case do not add up as thousands of people have pointed out.
