UPDATED: Woman injured after Covid vaccine demands retractions after media falsely declares her video to be faked


A Louisiana woman with documented seizures and other medical issues following Covid vaccine is demanding retractions from a mob of ill-informed media who published attacks that she calls false and libelous.

Watch Rumble video here.

Angelia Desselle, 47, is a former manager of a surgery center outside of New Orleans. Earlier this week, she responded to a post by Twitter CEO Elon Musk. Musk stated that he’d had a bad reaction to a Covid-19 vaccine booster, and had a cousin who suffered heart inflammation after the shot. 

Desselle can relate.

Days after getting Pfizer’s Covid vaccine in January of 2021, she reported serious medical issues. She posted a video clip recorded at Ochsner Hospital in Jefferson, Louisiana showing her apparently suffering an episode of uncontrollable shaking.

Evidently without investigating the matter in even a cursory fashion, many vaccine industry interests and others on Twitter declared the video, and Desselle’s apparent illness, to be fake. Desselle, who is white, was subjected to bullying and a barrage of racist attacks.

In one of the tamer exchanges, a user by the name “Ducky” Tweeted: “Why does this phenomenon only happen to white American republicans?” 

“Because they’re all victims,” replied user Pauly Cassilas.

Multiple media outlets, without evidence, followed suit in concert, claiming Desselle is an “anti-vaxxer” and her video is part of a discredited anti-vaccine conspiracy movement. The outlets include the Daily Mail, Yahoo News, Daily Dot, MSN, and several publications that have published misinformation in the past, Rolling Stone and Forbes. In some of the articles, doctors who never treated or met Desselle commented that her injuries seem unlikely, and implied they’re fake. Some falsely stated that vaccines have not been associated with seizures. Others claimed that Desselle’s symptoms were not consistent with seizures or true illnesses. 

A representative for Desselle says neither the journalists nor the medical professionals dismissing her injuries took the basic step of contacting her to see if her illness or the fact of her vaccination could be substantiated. 

In fact, voluminous medical records provide lengthy, detailed documentation of Desselle’s illness following Covid vaccination, and a large body of published medical articles describe similar case reports around the world.

Notes by various doctors and specialists who have treated Desselle

Interestingly, the assault by vaccine interests mirrors a similar rash of attacks launched exactly two years ago. That’s when a number of people posted videos on social media that they claimed showed shocking adverse reactions to Covid vaccination such as seizures, paralysis, loss of control of limbs, and uncontrollable shaking. Many media outlets, such as Wired, defended the vaccine industry and implied, without evidence, that the videos were all faked. 

Vaccine industry interests and others smeared Angelia Desselle, who has suffered serious, documented illnesses after Covid-19 vaccine

In the two years since, there has been a series of medical literature reports documenting motor disorders, seizures, paralysis, and similar cases around the world after Covid vaccination.

In May of 2022, scientists in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology analyzed adverse event reports and found dramatically more reports of seizures after Covid-19 vaccine than after flu vaccine: 3.19 seizures per 100,000 people per year for Covid shots compared to just .09 seizures per 100,000 pepole per year for flu shots.

In November of 2022, a study in the European Journal of Neurology documented neurological symptoms reported after Covid vaccination. Doctors reviewed video recordings of people with “motor manifestations” associated with Covid infection or Covid vaccination.

The Covid vaccine group “demonstrated a higher number of functional disorders compared to the [Covid] infection group (58% vs. 22%)” and “Twelve patients (57%) developed neurological symptoms following at least one dose of the mRNA or viral vector-based COVID-19 vaccine. The most common manifestation observed was a functional movement disorder (43%).”

Additional literature documents cases of Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) after Covid vaccine. In July of 2021, the Journal of Neuropsychiatry noted that even though doctors cannot find brain lesions in these cases, and don’t fully understand the mechanism at work, “the occurrence of FND… is real and disabling,” and “FND is a common condition that can lead to distressing and disabling symptoms, which can resemble almost any form of neurological symptoms; common FND subtypes are seizures, paralysis, and movement disorders, often with associated sensory and cognitive symptoms. Although there is no structural neurological lesion identified in FND, it is a consequence of disordered neurological function.”

A study in Australia last November examined “the experience of 61 young people with past or current functional neurological disorder (FND) in relation to the COVID-19 vaccination program in Australia” and concluded “patients may develop FND after vaccination owing to a variety of complex and incompletely understood factors.”

An article out of Canada last August noted “An increasing number of patients…presenting with functional neurologic disorders (FND) after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination.”

Last April, the Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences reviewed three reported cases of FND following Covid-19 vaccines and presented three additional cases.

In March of last year, the Canadian Journal of Emergency Medicine reported two cases of FND in Indian patients and concluded: “Actual number of vaccine-related functional neurological disorders may be more than reported. As the pandemic and vaccination campaigns both are ongoing, more such cases may report to [Emergency Department].”

Desselle, through a representative, has demanded retraction of the articles falsely claiming or implying that she, her illnesses and/or the video were faked. As of this publication, the articles have not been retracted.

  1. Sharyl, thank you for writing this article. I know Angelia very well. She is one of the vaccine injured in my support group and an amazing advocate and warrior for our community. The hate, trolling & vicious attacks on her have not stopped. Celebrities even jumped on the bandwagon calling her a liar and fake. This unfortunately is NOT uncommon with our community. The barrage of insults, stalking, trolling, bullying and lies continue to this day and do not cease. The paid shills to follow us online and barate us with wishing death on us, threatening the lives of our families, calling us grifters. The list goes on. We still need to bring attention to this everyday. The censorship and attacks have cost the lives of many in our groups. Suicide is at all time high. Those that have tried to share their stories have long since quieted and gone into hiding bc of these attacks. Many just stop trying at all. We need justice on not only this but so much more. I implore the legal system and attorneys to get off their asses and start representing our community and grow a set. The legal system should swing toward the side of justice, which right now, does not.

  2. I hope every vax injured person has or will contact Senator Ron Johnson from WI. He is the only one I know of who is listening and trying to expose what’s happened to people. Write your Governors and demand the shots be stopped in your state. Write to each of your representatives in DC and demand the shots be stopped in our Nation and that the drug companies be held liable. President Regan signed the piece that protects Big Pharma. This must be reversed.
    This whole Covid thing was a lie. They created the virus and released it. The recovery statistics stayed at 99.9% to 99.8% but no one talked about that. They emphasized the deaths which we know were exaggerated. The lies were told to create fear so we could be controlled. Note to self: FEAR = False Evidence Appearing Real. And: Perfect LOVE casts out fear.
    God please help us in this battle against pure evil. I ask for God’s healing over everyone who has been injured by the covid vax. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

  3. Note that the medical entry that referred to the neurological signs and symptoms as possible “functional” and a component of a “conversion disorder” was essentially saying “all in her head”

    Thankyou Mary. You’re onto something. It gets worse. Every time the vaccinated get reinfected, they have their bodies TOPPED UP with more wild spike protein, which activates the vaccine spike proteins into action against the Immune systems T-cells. In short: the bodies defence system is shut down, like a Model TX ‘turning off’ the Model T Terminator. No antiviral drugs will work once a vaccinated person has been infected with Covid-19 more than 3 times. People are in real danger, which is why they are catching other things like Monkey Pox. If I was an elitist wishing to depopulate the earth, I would have chosen this virus too to do the job, as it’s a ‘slow burn’ of a killer. Very slick, but evil. I hope people ask for God’s forgiveness, considering what has been done to the innocent children- OUR FUTURE. Please forgive me too, for revealing too much.

  5. Angelia Desselle and many others like her–to include the courageous whistleblower doctors and nurses, may form a front line(such as Frontline Doctors) in order to engage a class action lawsuit against the Media (liars for hire) and all who work for the Pharma profiteers. In terms of slander and defamation of character, I should think there is more than an adequate basis for a class action lawsuit that would be global in scale. Is there an altruistic lawyer in the house? [Reiner Fuellmich]

  6. Evil response! My heart aches reading this. I had and still have neuromuscular issues from the Pfizer vaccine. 2 years now. I’m a physician and was top 10% of my class. This is REAL. Everyone injured will be vindicated eventually. Great progress by many researchers and physicians such as Dr. Pretorius, Dr. J. Vaughn and Dr. A. Iwasaki amongst many others. Prayer. May God heal her or use someone in the medical field to find a cure.

  7. These experimental dangerous mRNA gene altering jabs need to be stopped! People will die. Innocent children will be harmed. People will die suddenly of heart attacks. Dr fauci is dr falsey he’s a liar evil. Don’t trust big pharma they only care about profit and lowering the population. All the evidence and science is out proving that these jabs are deadly and doctors like dr Robert Malone creator of the mRNA vaccine who is trying to warn the public are being silenced. This is against our constitution. Freedom of speech. And the right to live and work with government mandates threatening us to get boosters or we lose our jobs. Our bodies are sacred temples. Our bodies our choice. The same people telling you they’re safe are the same people profiting and controlling the laws and courts.
    We all need to speak up and fight to save lives before innocent babies get their poison shots.
    The vaccines don’t stop you from
    Catching covid. They don’t stop you from spreading covid. And if you get the vaccine out of fear of being sick from a flu and your told it will “lessen” symptoms then your a fool cause the vaccine is more dangerous than any flu. The side effects and long term side effects are still unknown but we’re seeing all lab animals died and coroners see the vaccinated blood is full of thick white clots strangling they organs.
    If your afraid of a flu be more afraid of the neurological and cardiac problems and strokes from the vaccine.
    The invisible killer is all part of a de population agenda from the new world order Illuminati.
    The news and doctors are brainwashed to tell you they’re safe it’s all propaganda.
    This is the biggest hoax created.
    Don’t get your booster shot. Save your loved ones.

    On MedPage, a daily email service for health professionals, an article was posted about the social media attacks on this patient. It was not a fair review of the situation at all. Here is the link: https://www.medpagetoday.com/special-reports/features/102820. I tried twice to post a link to your excellent summary of her true clinical situation AND the listing of the professional publications showing links between the vaccine and onset of the neurologic condition she has. My posts were never approved. So frustrating.

  9. There was widespread reporting of serious issues with mRNA vaccines in 2021 and 2022.
    The problem is msm and our politicians ignored. And still ignore!

  10. Isn’t this legally actionable? She isn’t a public figure.

    Grateful for all who have spoken out. And full of respect for them ~ Sharyll Attkisson was first.

  11. The bastards in Big Pharma can’t afford to have their scheme exposed and as the truth comes out are becoming more unhinged by the day. Keep the pressure on and force the truth out there.
