You may already have heard about Desiree Jennings.
If not, here's a summary, although for the full story you should consult Steven Novella or Orac, whose expert analyses of the case are second to none. Desiree Jennings is a 25 year old woman from Ashburn, Virginia who developed horrible symptoms following a seasonal flu vaccination in August. As she puts it:
In a matter of a few short weeks I lost the ability to walk, talk normally, and focus on more than one stimuli at a time. Whenever I eat I know, without fail, that my body will soon go into uncontrollable convulsions coupled with periods of blacking out.
For some weeks the problems were so bad that she was almost completely disabled, and feared the damage was permanent. Vaccines had destroyed her life. You can see a video here - American TV has covered the story in a lot ...
