If true, very sad. I dunno it just seems TOO strange to me.

And by the way, the shot was not a swine flu shot, just a regular seasonal flu jab.

If that is true and to be believed its absolutely tragic story, hope its not a sick joke! The strange thing is I have been unable to find and concrete news stories other than that youtube video, surely if this was indeed true the should be more coverage of it rather than just a youtube video. Call me sceptical I think it could be an elaborate hoax of some kind. However if it is indeed true then its most tragic for the poor girl her name is Desire Jennings, see if you guys can find anything more.

I have a friend who got the Swine Flu vaccine back in the 70's and was one of many people who nearly died from Guillain-Barre Syndrome, an auto-immune condition that causes inflammation of the nervous system leading to total paralysis for several weeks. So neurological impairments from flu vaccines aren't unheard of.

But even in the Guillain-Barre cases, it was one out of every million people who received the vaccine, which means the odds of having an adverse reaction were lower than the odds of getting the flu itself. I would suspect the same is true here as well.
