    Even if any of this is true, which I very much doubt, what evidence do you have that your relative’s illness was caused by the vaccine?

      It was the only change in their day-to-day life (they, and myself, are both housebound due to disabilities), and is a known risk of any injection, afaik. I’m not into the med field myself so this is all secondary knowledge, but I found the name of the condition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guillain–Barré_syndrome (jeez that’s a mangled url).

      Doubt all you want, but I watched it unfold over the course of a week before they were admitted to the hospital, and stayed there for over a month before being able to return home. I watched the difficulties grow, and I went to see them in the hospital a couple weeks after being admitted. It was absolutely heartbreaking. They already had enough to deal with before it occurred (physical and cognitive impairments, from birth) and it was just… just really trying, showing strength and being positive while scared I was going to lose a sibling.

      E: paragraph two, “Sometimes this immune dysfunction is triggered by an infection or, less commonly, by surgery, and by vaccination.”

      People can be potentially allergic to ingredients they put in vaccines. Have you ever gotten a vaccine where they ask you if you’re allergic to eggs beforehand? And that’s a more common ingredient.

      If you have an allergy, even a tiny amount of the substance you are allergic to can cause a severe reaction. That’s why single bee stings have killed people.

        That too, though they (and myself) have no known allergies.

        I’ve thinking about getting tested, as I know my mother is deathly allergic to seafood, for example. Found that out as her windpipe constructed at a restaurant, apparently (before my time). I don’t want to find out that my body doesn’t jive with something as I’m rushing to the ER…
