• Dystonia Girl Has Been Magically Cured

    Science Buzz Remember Desiree Jennings, the girl who had vaccine-induced dystonia? Turns out that her incurable disorder has been cured. Oh, and it probably wasn't vaccines that caused her problems, despite her story spurring on a huge anti-vaccination movement. Oh, and she probably never actually had dystonia.

  • hoax or not, everyone i know who has had either the regular flu shot or the h1n1 shot this year has gotten sick right after getting the vaccination. there's no way i'm getting vaccinated against this crap. i've never had a flu shot before and i've never had a problem. i'll keep washing my hands and take my chances.

  • no, it's not a hoax, because psychogenic symptoms are real. it is, however, intellectually dishonest to imply her symptoms are the result of being vaccinated.

  • It's not a hoax…
    “Psychogenic signs and symptoms are real – the patient really experiences them, and often they lack insight into the origin of their symptoms. Psychogenic is not a synonym for fake, they are usually not voluntary, and patients cannot just stop their symptoms. A psychogenic disorder is a real disorder – it is just that the problem is with the brain’s software, not hardware (if you will excuse the geek metaphor).”—from Dr. Steven Novella at http://www.theness.com/neurologicablog/?p=1184

  • Vaccinating yourselves from a virus like h1n1 is the stupidest bullshit you fools eat up like sitcoms. It mutates quick enough to make your shots useless. Its all hype you sheep think is more viral than the last. Remember bird flu? lol suckers.

  • Looks like she was just another pawn for the silly “vaccines are killing us” wackos. The fact that she got time on the news is also a sign that the journalists weren't doing their jobs. How about you ask any number of neurological physicians who saw the original video and her inconsistent gait and knew it was a hoax all along? But no, she's a pretty girl and it sells news so of course you ran with it without thinking twice. Bet you think that Obama's 28 new birth certificates from Kenya that were “just produced” are new and valid?
