A Las Vegas man lost his vision, became partially paralyzed and has been unable to breathe without assistance since getting a flu shot last month.
Shane Morgan and his wife Monique decided to get flu shots on November 2, believing it would help protect them and young family members ahead of the busy holiday season.
But what they thought was a pro-active measure turned to horror when Shane began losing feeling in his arms and legs.
“About 36-hours after he got the flu shot he started to get sick,” Monique explained to KSNV.
“I never dreamed that any of this could ever happen,” Shane told local media.
A Las Vegas Man lost his ability to walk, speak & see days after getting the #FluShot Doctors diagnosed him w/ Guillain-Barre syndrome a.k.a GBS. His family says the Flu shot triggered it & the CDC confirms a link, calling it extremely rare. Tune into @News3LV @ 6 for more. pic.twitter.com/TUNTBB1JJe

Doctors at Centennial Hills Hospital diagnosed Shane with Guillain-Barré Syndrome, a known vaccine adverse reaction characterized by the CDC as an “autoimmune disorder in which a person’s own immune system damages the nerves, causing muscle weakness and sometimes paralysis.”
Monique blames the flu shot for triggering the adverse reaction, which has left Shane in need of a ventilator and a feeding tube.
“It’s the last time anyone in my family will ever get one,” she said, adding Sha
“Do you know anyone who had Guillain-Barré Syndrome?”
I do. A friend of mine was a professional fighter and at some point came down with this. He became paralyzed on his right side. He could shuffle around with a cane and later a walker. He never improved but hung in for a few years. The Body finally gave out and he died. It’s another one of those suck ways to go.
Never had a flu shot, heck I never even HEARD of a healthy person getting a flu shot till I moved to California. Had some moonbat at my job chasing me around every day asking if I had the shot yet, kept telling her no. She was getting downright upset telling me “I was putting everyone at risk” told her I did not care leave me alone, go away.. that seemed to end it.
The more they push this shot, the more people that pop up out of nowhere to defend it, the less I trust it. And no, I am not anti Vax, but VERY anti flu shot.
Good luck if they dont shake the vial before they suck your injection out.
Thimerosol. And yes. They will never stop using it.
Nope, just validated. Dont confuse it, its a rookie mistake.
GBS is an autoimmune disease. Your immune system attacks the nerve sheath.
Something like a vaccination or an infection can trigger it, but you don’t catch it like you would an infectious disease.
I won the GBS lottery in 1976. I got a swine flu shot and ended up with a mild case of GBS. I missed a couple of weeks work and have been basically free of any severe post GBS syndromes since then.
Decades later, I can still have aching upper jaws, sore neck muscles and mandible aches, when I am really tired.
I call it Nature’s way of telling Old Dave to slow down and to rest. My wife is a great RN. She can tell by the slight changes in my verbal skills that the low grade GBS is still there. Then, I need to shut up, rest and slow down for about 8 hours. A glass or two of a good California red wine works very well in these instances.
Post my original severe GBS onset, My lab values within a few months went to normal across the board. My current FP runs lab tests on me yearly, and they are very normal and boring as per my doctor. He says that I have better lab values than most 30-40 year old guys versus an 80 year old.
Data then and later show that more often GBS appears after getting the current flu bug each year without a flu shot.
3 years ago, a good friend with Parkinson’s got a steroid shot and then he caught the flu two weeks later. Within a week, he was hospitalized with severe GBS and nearly died. 3 Years later he is still in a rest home and has to use a wheel chair. He never got a flu shot before his GBS onset event.
My wife adult relatives and I still take the flu shot every year with basically no problems.
You are incorrect.

They have and continue to use it in flu vaccines.
dirt vaccination
Your arguments are what libtards do. Maybe go back to DU, you detract from this site.
My company requires I get a flu shot yearly. Plus I got all the other ones necessary as well and so far no problems considering the snot factory in back.
Poor guy, hope he makes it.
I got one flu shot decades ago even tho I never got sick. I was sick for months that year with devastating flu. Ever since, no flu shots for me and no flu. I take three grams of VitaminC every day of my life and don’t get sick. Period.
Other supplements too, but credit C with disease protection.
Well said.
Did they get a computer down in the hollow or are you just using the welfare dept one?
Finish night school and get your GED. There might be a promotion down at the manure plant in your future. But under no circumstances get any type of vaccination. All empirical evidence from this thread proves beyond any doubt that they are deadly injections conjured up by the government for mind control.
Maybe these are famous last words, but I just don’t bother with flu shot.
I figure the benefits don’t outweigh the costs.
So I get a little flu - generally the worst of it is a week down time. Why bother the slight risk of other problems, esp. the “flu reaction” that often follows the shot?
A few years back I had our son get a shot because of that Ebola scare - in the hopes that it would help clarify if anything was seriously wrong by keeping flu away. But that was it.
Its worse from a vaccine because vaccines contain ingreidients that are purposely put in there to cause a big surge in your immune system. They are classified as “adjuvants” and their purpose is to get an enhanced reaction from your immune system.
Vaccines when I was an infant are responsible for my horrendous allergies from then into adulthood. They were the worst during the years I was receiving vaccines. The more time thats passed by from those vaccine years, and building up my immune system with natural substances, the lesser they have become.
Allergies are an immune syytem response to things generally not considered something the body needs to fight, and these vaccines cause heightened immune responses. GBS is an extreme reaction and it starts attacking the bodys nerves and such, allergies can be developed because the hyped up immune system targets a normal thing like dust or pollen, a foreign body, and goes haywire by reacting to this generally non-harmful thing.
I get one every couple of years. I went this year and the young gal asked if I wanted the regular flu shot or the one that is four times stronger. I asked which one will kill you. She just gave me a smiley face Cortez laugh. So I got the weaker one. Felt crappy for three days.
You are deliberately lying. Measles is not back because of antivaxxers.
Measles is a problem in this country because weve imported infected foreigners into the cpuntry and its these strains that are causing problems.
We are letting in the problem through sick foreingers.
Stop lying.
“Chances are better than 98% this guy will have compete resplutoon of symptoms with the residual most often being mild numbness in the hands or feet.”
I pray that is so!
I am so sorry that the facts scare you. It appears that you resort to name calling when you have no earthly clue as to your ignorance. Again I point out the vast polio and smallpox pandemics in process because obviously immunization is ineffective. As to the other idiots who report the flu shot made them sick the vast majority likely did not have influenza but some other virus. Influenza vaccines have saves millions. Science has saved millions. If people spent less time being ignorant and actually understood the nuance of what in fact the science is then there might be hope. But pictures of a guy on a ventilator with makes for a great scare despite they it will resolve. I also get a bang out of the now demonstrably false statement someone died of the flu shot when they died of septic shock. But hey why let a little thing like the truth get in the way of your distorted and backward agenda. Looks like you are the liberal idiot. Step back away from the science and the professionals help. Seriously.
