The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced on July 12 that it is updating the label on the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine to include a warning about the risk of developing Guillain-Barré syndrome, (GBS) a rare and sometimes deadly autoimmune disorder in which the body attacks and damages nerves, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Anywhere between 3,000 and 6,000 people develop Guillain-Barré syndrome each year, per the CDC. For some people, a full recovery just takes a few weeks; for others, it can take a few years.

“Reports of adverse events following use of the Janssen COVID-19 vaccine under emergency use authorization suggest an increased risk of Guillain-Barré syndrome during the 42 days following vaccination,” the FDA says in an updated fact sheet for the Johnson & Johnson vaccine (also known as the Janssen vaccine).

However, the FDA notes there isn’t enough data to prove that the vaccine actually causes Guillain-Barré syndrome. While the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines have not been linked with Guillain-Barré syndrome, other common vaccines have. Here’s everything experts want you to know about the condition.

Back up: What are the symptoms of Guillain-Barré syndrome? People who have GBS often feel weakness or tingling sensations in both legs first, according to the CDC, and this sensation can spread to the arms and upper body. Weakness usually peaks within the first two weeks after symptoms first start, the CDC says. However, symptoms of GBS can progress until some muscles can’t be used at all. In severe cases, a person can experience permanent nerve damage, become paralyzed, or even die of the condition.

The cause of Guillain-Barré syndrome isn’t fully understood, but it often develops after someone has been infected with a virus or bacteria.

Hey healthcare workers even Immunity system Docs are taking the C-19 shot. If they didn't well the ER may well be empty due to no staff.

Some are, some aren't. The majority of medical folks I know refuse to take it.

The FDA is the property of Big Pharma.

Bump for visibility re: the possibility that Newsome has acquired GBS after dopily mix-and-matching the Moderna booster on top of his original J&J. Schadenfreude!
