Covid vaccines linked to serious nervous disorder

Covid vaccines increase the risk of Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS), a serious neurological disease, by as much as 40 percent.

AstraZeneca’s Vaxzevria and the Johnson & Johnson and Janssen Covid jabs have both been linked to the raised risk, and it’s suspected that the ‘Trojan Horse’ delivery system they all employ is responsible.  Similar technology is also used by most of the childhood vaccines, such as the MMR, and GBS is a recognised adverse reaction with those.

GBS is most likely to happen within two to four weeks of getting a Covid jab, say researchers from University College London, who analysed countrywide data collated by the National Health Service.  There were 140 cases of GBS during a two-month period, when usually there are around a hundred, and 20 percent of them happened within six weeks of a Covid vaccination.

The researchers suspect the adenovirus from monkeys, which is used as the delivery system for the vaccines, may be tricking the immune system to attack the nerves.

But American researchers found a similar link to GBS with other Covid vaccines, such as Pfizer’s mRNA jab, that don’t use the adenovirus as a delivery system.

Typical symptoms of GBS include pain and numbness, while walking, swallowing and breathing can become more difficult.
