This is me after 1 dose of Pfizer on 1/5/2021 in the hospital. I was a very healthy 45 year old who managed a surgery center. Two years later I am still having major issues pic.twitter.com/x026LRy6L8

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.
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.
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.
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.

I join others deeply grateful for Angeliia, Frontline, other doctors and nurses, and all people working for life. Thank you for speaking truth, for your integrity, for your courage.
Bless you for honoring life and intelligence and for your deep caring.
Many of you recognize my story, others I say please do all you can to avoid hospitals – and always think for yourselves..
My husband during Covid – a year ago – was medically murdered as were many people nationwide USA. My husband’s health was good, he had a broken hip, soon kept comatose, starved, given wrong meds. As often as allowed, I was with him trying to figure out what was going on not suspecting I was being lied to – and learned too late he was repeatedly given wrong meds. (that he refused and they were given) kept comatose, literally starved and poisoned . . our story is not unique.
His primary doctor not allowed, orders of his surgeons ignored, doctors lied, nurses lied. One Hospitalist who I never once saw look look at my husband pleaded with me to understand he had financial responsibility to the hospital.
Thank you so much Sharyl for writing this article! You’re a beacon of light in a cesspit of shoddy journalism that doesn’t even meed the term unqualified. I’ve been a fan of yours ever since I saw that astroturfing ted talk you did :)
The ELEPHANT in the room seems to be the UNVACCINATED who, for some reason, are not having these neurological issues. They are also not dying in their sleep or dropping dead of ” unknown causes”.
Why isn’t that investigated? Because it doesn’t fit the “approved narrative”.
It’s not that hard to read between the lines, folks.
I though women were supposed to be automatically believed
Your coverage is much appreciated. It should be headline news. Miss seeing you on
TV.
I am not sure how to reach Angelia Desselle so I am leaving this message. I have seen one of the vaccine damaged in my clinic and she had severe neurological problems and uncontrollable shaking for over one year.. She ended up stopping all the MD prescribed medicines and just using CBD without THC which is OTC in every state I believe. It took 6 days but the tremors or seizures stopped. CBD is well documented for use in seizures. I am not a physician and am not providing medical diagnosis. Please check with your physician to see if CBD might be effective against these seizure like conditions.
In a podcast a couple of years ago I heard a couple of doctors snickering because their patients were happy to get a “diagnosis” of functional neurologic disorder. They could hardly contain themselves because they were using the term as “doctor speak” for “It’s all in your head”. These doctors were using the term to satisfy their patients and get them out the door. They imagined how silly the patients would look, naming their diagnosis, when the doctor was merely labeling them with these medical sounding words.
I wonder if that is what is happening here to the vaccine-injured. Are they being taken seriously? Even before these vaccine injuries, many suffering patients have not been taken seriously by their doctors.
For as many years as I have left in my life I will never forget what has been done to my fellow citizens by Pharma and the media. What had been done to my country. Thank you for writing this and for your professionalism as a journalist. Those who wield power in this country have not even begun to understand what they have wrought or what the ramifications will be – neither has the pharma or medical industries. The damage to trust will take decades to repair if it even can be repaired. I fear we are only seeing the short term results from an untested vaccine – the long term results are still unknown.
The responses to this woman’s suffering is evil. Whether you believe her or not, mocking a fellow human being is unacceptable. Has our society degraded this much? Shame on those that mocked her and remember karma always comes around and bites you in the arse!
I’ve been to war. I’ve seen horrors and I’ve seen evil. I had family members slaughtered. I’ve seen pigs eating human flesh. I’ve studied Stalin, Hitler, Mao in depth. I myself have been politically prosecuted in my native land (and subsequently given a political asylum in the States)
I am also a writer and wrote on dystopia and / or madness. But the face of such callous evil in the face of suffering, by ordinary people, in such a huge numbers is beyond my comprehension. America I immigrated to, the Americans I admired have nothing to do with the America and, sadly, so many Americans of today are from another planet, something I am unable to recognize. I fell like I’ve lost my second home, this time this wonderful land I chose to be my home, due to madness and cruelty.
I haven’t been so sad, not even when I looked, hopeless, at the city back home being burned to the ground. I fear this is the very sad destiny America writes for herself. I can see the burning towers of New York, the charred remains of L.A. in our future. I wish I am able to believe we deserve better.
When people ever learn that you do not have unknown and untested crap injected into your bodies? more people without college degrees are finding this out, before the little brainwashed college girls and boys get it. Like Forrest Gump said, “Stupid is as stupid does.” Go figure
What is never reported in US mainstream media is the withdrawal of the mandates or even the covid drugs themselves due to injury and public refusal in many countries.
The racial aspect in these attacks ignores the fact that many people do not know how to file reports or let doctors demean their own sense of judgement about their own bodies which diminishes reporting. And the vast number of doctors fall into locksteip with the corporate narrative and don not even know how to report to VAERS. This list of details on this is much longer than what i listed here.
Funny how the corporate narrative claims it is unvaccinated people who are getting sick but now we read that only white women GOP’rs get reactions. The nonsense is bottomless.
What interests me are the number of pro-vaccine professional practitioners who get reactions. and then speak out. Robert Malone, MD, inventer of the mRNA technology for vaccines , a true believer, reports how he almost died after the 2nd shot! It is these reports of people who believed, submitted and then suffered and wound up retrenching their positions. Why isn’t this THE story.
I am so sorry to hear of your daughter’s, and your family’s horrible ordeal!
It really angers me that celebrities can get a lawyer to win millions of dollars for them because their feelings were hurt by someone’s comment, but your daughter is going through all this with no compensation!
The Alex Berenson part of this story is disturbing to me. He has done a lot of good work, but his dismissal of conditions that are harder to prove (like long Covid or these tremors that I have heard of in mostly female vaccine injured) is a very big problem. Also his personality does not appear to be the most pleasant, so he might be dismissed for that too, even if he makes gains for the medical freedom movement. .
I subscribe to Alex Berenson and Dr. Robert Malone’s substack newsletters. The latest newsletter from Dr. Malone included this:
”
Alex Berenson @AlexBerenson
These shake videos are the long Covid of the anti-mRNA movement, and equally credible. The biggest difference is that the middle-aged ladies in them are conservatives and not wokesters.
———————————————————————————
It is one thing for individuals to attack and make claims of “faking” injury. It is yet another when journalists at “reputable” publications follow suit without investigating any of the claims or seeking comment from the person attacked.
If any of them had looked into Desselle, they would have learned that she could provide all of the necessary medical documentation to validate her Covid vaccine injury.”
Alex Berenson is a mean, gas lighting, hypocrite. I hope he gets to experience the ‘joy’ of Covid vaccine side effects and gets the same treatment.
Yeah, Alex is a weird case. Very egotistical and prone to shoot wildly from the hip at times–like the interview on Fox where he claimed Malone had not invented mRNA tech, despite the fact that Malone’s name is on something like 9 patents? No apology or acknowledgement that Berenson was completely, 100% wrong. And he’s got this weird bias against IVM, too, despite being shown many dozens of RCT’s, and in a debate with Dr. Pierre Kory, Berenson couldn’t make a decent case against it in the face of a man who uses it all the time. I still like some of his reporting, but as the kids would say, he’s problematic.
Most of us know one or more persons who’ve had blood clots, heart attacks, or neurological damage. This News Media carrying Big Pharma’s water discredits them individually, their employer and journalists in general.
You get screamed at by society to take an experimental vaccine.
You do it.
You become injured or worse, so you seek help (if you didn’t die)
and the same fricking people now bully, smear, shame, and sht on you?
The vax injured are a group of people that I hope one day will have retribution.
It’s a disgrace what is happening to them. If they all truly understood the scam behind
pharma it would only make it worse.
What a disgusting world we have become.
Pray for those who are injured. It’s so unfair.
So well said. And thank you Ms. Atkkisson for all you do.
I got screamed at and wish I never spent 5 minutes with some of my oldest friends from childhood, screaming at me to stay away and gossiping to anyone to stay away from me because I am not vaccinated.. Aren’t I stupid and selfish? NO! I am healthy and unafraid!
I was sounding the alarm saying, “Please explain to me your scientific understanding how this mRna vax beats covvid.?” The reporting skipped many steps that made no scientific sense to me. I also would posit: “Why do doctors have malpractice insurance if they are always right?”
I WAS RIGHT.
I feel so badly for Ms. Desselle and for the young healthy daughter RUINED for taking a shot she NEVER NEEDED.
Keep praying for truth and justice because dear G-d we need it!
One has to wonder how we’re going to fare as a country with so many activist “journalists.” I truly don’t know how we can get back to the principles of sound journalism when there are so many people who don’t even see anything amiss. Thanks for all your efforts, Sharyl.
I 100% believe that the Covid Vaccines can cause debilitating and life changing symptoms!!! And how can I be so sure of this, you might say?? Because my family and I, ESPECIALLY my daughter, have been living thru this hell since April 2021. For ANYONE, ESPECIALLY reputable magazine and news outlets to discredit this woman’s story is absolutely ridiculous!!! It would appear that they didn’t even reach out to even give this lady a chance to validate her symptoms! To make a very long story
short, my 26 year old daughter was a vibrant, motivated, intelligent, and care-free young lady prior to April of 2021! She had just graduated with her undergraduate degree the prior December. She now lives in CONSTANT pain, has multiple “nonepileptic” seizures every single day, has multiple episodes of random anaphylaxis every day, cannot endure ANY type of stress on her body without causing a “seizure”. She now has a tracheostomy and port-a-cath. In the following year after getting the vaccine, she had to be intubated 10-12 times and this isn’t even a drop in the bucket compared to all that she has suffered! I have been in the healthcare industry for 20+ years and have NEVER been more embarrassed, infuriated, disappointed, and shocked at the subpar care that she has received and continues to receive thru this life-changing ordeal!
I’m so sorry for you and esp your daughter. I don’t know what I’d do! Everyday I wonder if my oldest daughter will drop. She has had 3 moderna shots that I know of. My other daughter had 2 Pfizer. I begged 5e. Not to take them but no one would listen. I pray for you. I pray for your daughter. We all need to come together and go after these criminals. I want them to pay. They all need to be locked up for life!
I’m so so sorry to hear the terrible tragedy that has happened to your daughter. She, you and your family are in my prayers! I’m thankful for you for sharing and Shari for publishing her article to give a voice to your experiences!! ??
God I am so sorry for your daughter, your family
I pray her body heals but also that the drug companies are made to pay for the horrific genetic manipulation they have foisted upon this world and lied to everyone and burt so many
My heart aches for your daughter. Early Feb.2021 FOX News reported there were Healthcare workers were concern about the growing number of patients having side effects from the vaccine. Instead of pausing the vaccine we were steam rolled it was safe with virtually no side effects just a sore arm & headache lasts a few hrs. Even Advil lists side effects could cause serious harm or death. Look at our Healthcare Dr’s. Calling other Dr’s. Conspiracy theory. Science isn’t science anymore. I thought Dr’s take an oath to cause no harm!!!! Especially when Pfizer has been caught fudging data on trial studies
a new drug. Not reporting side effects or even conducting a real study. They are known to cut corners & Basically lie with data. They have been sued & made to pay out big $. Vaccines get amnesty but when they perpossedly deceived us and lied repeatedly and committed fraud
Thank you for writing this. The V injured need compensation and acknowledgment and medical help.
Crimes agains’t humanity ………………..
These souls deserve our compassion and should be compensated by the company that produced the shot. It is criminal that Pfizer, et al, are not subject to liability for the injuries suffered by users of their product. Thank you for reporting on this, Sharyl, keep up the great work.
They ARE subject to full liability, because they LIED in order to get their “immunity” from prosecution or claims for damages done! WHY would they ever ask for such a thing, if they didn’t know well beforehand of the death and destruction these shots of mRNA and graphene oxide and who knows what else, would do to people?!?! If they really are safe and effective, the results would speak for themselves, and no one would ever have a bad thing to say about them!! Everyone who took the shots would be bright and healthy, not dropping over dead under exertion or dying in their sleep!
Fraud vitiates ALL that it comes into contact with! Anything that is alleged to be a bona fide contract is vacated for fraud, threat, duress, coercion, mistake, illegality, immorality, impossibility, insanity or minority age! Look up the definition of the words Contract and Fraud in any law dictionary, and then apply it to the legal system itself!
You are correct and fraud is the way they will ultimately go down.
Thank you for writing this.
