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
So we should look forward to a resplutoon? Or avoid one at all costs?
“never get sick except for an occasional light cold or flu.”
Same here. All I need to do is get “sick” (flu cold etc) ONCE during the fall and winter months and my body recovers/remembers and makes sure to protect itself. Kinda weird.
“so never washed hands,”
I draw the line there LOL. In my business full of fags and ass munchers, I do my best not to shake their hands and just make excuses..
At least he won’t get sick.
Of course they did.
So glad to have you back at FR!

Yeah, they’re mostly freaking leftists.
Thank you! I’ve been posting to FR on FB but missed the “real thing” :-).
Ask what country the vaccine was made in!
Then ask where your generics are made and what the fillers are.
I got some kind of triple vaccine shot when I was a young teenager. It was followed by all kinds of crazy symptoms. Things have never been right since.
But it’s like getting hit by lightning. Only a fool would conclude that walking outdoors is a mortal danger and resolve to stay inside for the rest of his life because he heard about somebody somewhere who got hit by lightning..
My grandmother got the flu shot years ago and it nearly killed her.
From November - April I can’t be a hospital volunteer because I don’t get the shot. Several who sing praises about getting the shot have been quite ill each year.
I generally avoid it. Have for years.
About 10 years ago was gonna get the baby vaccine without the mercury. They told me they generally give 2 doses to adults since it’s smaller amounts.
Many said the mercury thing wasn’t true. Well, I wound up not getting it most of the time (the shot). Nor this year, either.
How effective was last year’s flu shot?
Good job reporting the truth.
This type of BS nonsense is what you get by reading crazy kooks like Alex Jones and other similar conspiracy morons. To say they are ignorant, stupid and Venal money grabbers is an understatement.
Anti-vaxers ecstatic.

My son has been in the hospital for 234 days in the last 15 months. He has been in an isolation room since Labor Day. I am there everyday and need to wash hands, wear a mask, gown etc. Nobody asked me if I ever got a flu shot but I believe I heard some of the nurses telling me they had to get one.
Maybe it was the shush had the night before.
