THE WOODLANDS, Texas – Wyatt McGlaun, a teenager in The Woodlands, said he got Guillan-Barre syndrome a few weeks after his first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
“I wanted to get the vaccine. I felt it was the right thing to do,” McGlaun said. “I wanted to travel and enjoy my last summer before college.”
However, he said, he got extremely weak and had difficulty walking when he was admitted to CHI St. Luke’s in The Woodlands where he was diagnosed.
“I just knew something didn’t feel right. It wasn’t getting any better,” Wyatt explained.
The NIH reports one case of GBS in an 82-year-old woman, who also got one dose of the vaccine.
Dr. Charles Sims, Montgomery County Health Authority and infectious disease doctor from St. Luke’s in The Woodlands, said it is more often caused by a viral or bacterial infection and he can’t say the vaccine caused Wyatt’s condition.
“There have been cases seen in people who have received the vaccine but they’re not at any higher rate than people who have not received the vaccine. Guillan Barre is seen in one-two people per million per year,” Dr. Sims said.
Therefore, Dr. Sims said the condition could be a coincidence.
While Wyatt’s parents said they’re not trying to deter anyone from the vaccine but they do want others to recognize if this happens to them.
“Do your research,” Joe McGlaun said. “It’s a personal choice.”
“Listen to your body is the biggest thing that I’ve learned,” Wyatt said.
Dr. Sims said if adverse reactions are reported to the CDC they will be investigated. Wyatt’s family said they do plan to report it.
Of course not.
The vaccine will NEVER be the cause for all its side effects because they don't want it to be.
If people knew how much damage it did, nobody would take it and they'd lose the money and ability to control people.
Big Pharma and big government are _not_ your friend.
Some folks are gonna have to learn this lesson the hard way.
I understand the hesitancy people have about covid shots but I hear stories like this for other vaccines too like flu.
I had GBS back in 1973-74 after an upper respiratory infection, took nearly a year to get back to being able to walk and get around. Took several years to get to feeling really good, but I’ve never gotten back to where I was before my bout with it.
It is equally as inaccurate to attribute this to the vaccine as to not attribute it to the vaccine. The physician quoted is exactly correct. GBS generally follows a mild viral infection. Once in a while a bacterial infection. Can it be the result of a vaccine? Yes but vanishingly small chance and generally attributes to live or attenuated vaccines as there is real infection.
It strikes me that the zealots on both sides are ravenous to say absolutely this is due to the vaccine or no chance. The truth is quite simple. The chances are extremely rare but possible. It is more likely this patient has an active infection not a vaccine and that the timing is coincidental
However GBS is very rare and we lose site that the scarcity of this disease (1/150 M ) vaccines given in the attempt to politicize this in either direction.
Equivocating?
Some of us tried to sound the alarm, but they think they’ve done their ‘research’, and they also trust the ‘authoritative voices’ in the media and gubmit.
It’s hard to prevent people from self-harm, when they believe they have facts that are nothing more than half-truths or downright lies.
Watch how the gubmit is constantly moving the goalposts for Covid and vaccines. That is the dead giveaway that they are full of BS.
Ugh my daughter-in-law is expecting my first grandchild any day now and although she is not really a liberal, the private school she teaches at is very concerned about covid-19 with the elderly nuns there. She wants to know when we are getting our shots before we see the baby.
My son is in the Air Force Reserves and had to do a covid testing Duty so that sort of reinforced the fear porn.
Might have to do a bit of taqiyya
Quick, hide this story. Would not want lo info folks to start getting the idea bad stuff can happen if you take the vaccine.
With some salt and lime....................
“I understand the hesitancy people have about covid shots but I hear stories like this for other vaccines too like flu.”
This is true. That’s why I don’t take those either!
My advice is wait for the Johnson & Johnson shot if you get any vaccine at all. It will do the least amount of damage, I think.
“It is equally as inaccurate to attribute this to the vaccine as to not attribute it to the vaccine.”
You are probably right. But, why take the chance for a virus that affects only 8% of the population and has over a 99% chance of survival if contracted?
Exactly. My DIL told me she took the two dose shot albeit 9 mos pregnant. Worrysome
It was a factor in the Swine Flu vaccine back in the 70’s.
And that wasn’t the first time vaccines were shown to cause problems.
It happens and it’s a factor people need to be aware of and take into consideration when they accept the shot.
While Wyatt’s parents said they’re not trying to deter anyone from the vaccine but they do want others to recognize if this happens to them.
🙄 ping.
In 5 years, if people that already took the vaccine are still walking around, then I might take the vaccine.
No telling what nasty things might be brought about, with these experimental, UNPROVEN shots.
Why on Earth ANY teen/child (or ANY one, for that matter) would consider injecting these agents, is beyond me.
Wait....your DIL, who is 9 mos pregnant....took the two dose mRNA vax?
I thought they (WHO/FRAUDci’s groups) had specifically warned against this.
Who gave her the shots?
