Desiree Jennings—the woman who inspired a bunch of memes, galvanized the anti-vax movement, and is a Pot Psychology certified Diamond Girl—changed her name and went into hiding after gaining media attention when she claimed a flu shot gave her a host of strange symptoms. But Tracie found her! A lawsuit reveals Desiree's medical history and how Jenny McCarthy's autism organization, Generation Rescue, turned her into a media sensation to promote its bogus anti-vax claims and to sell its pricey and medically-debunked "cures."

Read all about Generation Rescue's deceptive practices in Anna Merlan's investigative piece here. CORRECTION: Dr. Buttar was not admonished by the AMA, but rather, the North Carolina Board of Medicince.
