CDC Reports Hundreds of Guillain-Barre Cases with mRNA COVID-19 Vaccination
Neurologic Complication Bodes Ill for mRNA Vaccine Pipeline
By Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH
One of the early product warnings came in July 2021 with COVID-19 vaccination was Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) or life-threatening ascending paralysis with the Janssen adenoviral COVID-19 vaccine. Using VAERS, Abara et al reported 211 cases of GBS submitted from December 2020 through January 2022 occurred with mRNA vaccines (Pfizer, Moderna) presenting with symptoms 8-10 days after taking the shot.
Of note, only 16% of cases reported by the patients themselves to the CDC leaving the majority to be reported by healthcare workers or the vaccine companies. The mean age was 59 years and sadly, 10 patients died after developing GBS. All but one of these cases died on the mechanical ventilator suggesting the systemic syndrome was far more lethal than GBS survived in other conditions (West Nile virus, Campylobacter jejuni, influenza vaccine etc.) These data strongly support FDA warnings for GBS in the FAQ for EUA vaccination and in all consent forms. This illness is a disaster for so many patients causing severe short and sometimes long term disability.
These findings are a severe blow to the mRNA vaccine development programs active in several companies including Moderna who recently received FDA Breakthrough Therapy Designation for their investigational respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine candidate, mRNA-1345, in adults aged 60 years or older. Data safety monitoring boards and advisory committees should be on a alert for GBS which can occur days to weeks after injection with mRNA.
This paper illustrates several points: 1) the CDC believes VAERS is a solid database for research and is using it, 2) the majority of serious events like GBS are reported by healthcare providers and vaccine manufactures, not the patients or families, 3) the FDA/CDC are not updating EUA FAQ or consent documents, thus Americans are not getting fair informed consent with COVID-19 vaccination, 4) GBS is likely to occur to occur with mRNA and should be tagged as a special adverse event of interest in mRNA development programs.

My daughter sustained a vaccine injury from the rabies series which were a necessity but lead me to RFK and Children's Health Defense where I learned about all of the horrid side effects of many if not all vaccines. I was advised to go on the VAERS website and report it, but it was so laborious and time consuming I just said the heck with it. As it was, I was dealing with my daughter's health and figured it was a waste of time - so the truth is, there must be so many more cases that have gone unreported (which the Harvard study revealed) that it's a waste to even share this with people who believe in the shot. Their response will be - "well millions of people took the shot and are fine". I've realized that they are killing people daily and don't give a you know what - until someone stops them it will just continue.
It will keep on getting worse and worse. They won’t stop doing evil things. So sad to see the guilty silence of the majority of our fellow colleagues.
