People will watch this video and say, "nah....it won't happen to me.".
In the old days, people would go to the clinic, get their seasonal flu shot, smile and walk out.
Now you have to read and sign a waiver that, coincidentally, mentions Guillain Barre Syndrome.
I know someone who is still dealing with the paralysis of the lower legs, as mentioned in the video, 33 years later.
Does anyone really believe the government is/will openly publish the harmful side effects of the covid vax?
By the way, do those leg braces and robotic walk of the lady in the video look like fun?
Altruistic helping.
You consistently attribute GBS to vaccines and I do understand your trepidation. However, just because you know someone afflicted with it doesn’t mean it’s really a statistically relevant concern.
What causes GBS?
Several things are known to trigger GBS. About two-thirds of people with GBS had diarrhea or a respiratory illness several weeks before developing symptoms. Infection with
Campylobacter jejuni, which causes diarrhea, is one of the most common risk factors for GBS. People also can develop GBS after some other infections, such as
flu,
cytomegalovirus,
Epstein Barr virus, and
Zika virus. Very rarely, people have developed GBS in the days or weeks after receiving certain
vaccines.
About 1 in every 1,000 reported
Campylobacter illnesses leads to GBS. As many as 40% of GBS cases in the United States are thought to be triggered by
Campylobacter infection.
How common is GBS?
GBS is rare, affecting only about 1 in 100,000 people. An estimated 3,000-6,000 people develop GBS each year in the United States.
Who is at risk for developing GBS?
Anyone can develop GBS; however, in the United States, it is more common in men and adults older than 50.
