My wife received the flu shot 2 weeks ago. 5 days later she could not walk. Diagnosed with Gillian Barre Syndrome, caused by the flu shot, left untreated it is fatal. She spent 7 days in the hospital and received 5 intravenous treatments. She is home now, can walk with a walker and is improving every day, but needs physical therapy for a while.

Was told by nureologist that it is very rare, but he is full of it. We have found out there are at least 4 other people in our rural area who have had this syndrome. It is actually more common than they try to make out, but the health care industry does not want to scare people off from getting the jab.

We both have gotten the flu shot in the past, but never again after seeing what it put my wife and family through.

Just got mine. I have leukemia so at risk for catching anything and I get a flue shot every year.
Sorry to hear about your wife.

Prayers sent. Hope she better soon

Not thinking about getting it and won't. Hoping for healing for your wife.

That is understandable, my son in law has hairy cell leukemia, so he too has no choice but to get the flu shot.

It is not my place to persuade or dissuade anyone from doing what they feel is best for them. I won’t take any vaccinations though.

Sorry to hear she feels so yucky! Last vaccination I had was rabies series for a bad dog bite and it put me down for days. At one point my husband couldn’t wake me up and he was about to call an ambulance. And that’s a killed vaccine not modified live.

The one vaccine that has never worked. It was developed to keep seniors from succumbing to the flu, yet death numbers are steady or rising since its development. Yet, folks rush out every year to get it, lol.

And the medical professionals try to push the shot on you.

To each his own. I'm not going to pass judgement on any for getting vaxed for the flu. That's your business.

I'm not going to chance it. It's like shooting in the dark.

I choose not to get vaxed for the flu because I have never in my life been able to pinpoint being sick to having the flu. About the only time I get sick is a sinus infection in May/June of every year.

I am 1000% against any part of the covid vax hoax.

I do hope that your wife gets well soon and makes a full recovery

Another bad reaction to a pointless shot sold to people out of fear. I hope she get well quickly

Feelings about the vaccine aside, have you guys seen the commercial for the flu vaccine? We like the wolf in sheeps clothing in it. “Who, me? But I’m just the flu “

Nope

I believe it's totally a personal decision and would not encourage or discourage anyone from getting or not getting vaccines. Most of my friends and family are getting up in the age these days. Some of them refuse to get any vaccines, while others get all or some of them. Far be it for me to urge someone to get vaccinated and then have them experience negative effects like Squash's wife. Likewise, I would hate to discourage someone from getting vaccinated only to have a serious strain of the flu end up killing them! It's a decision only they can make based on what they feel is the best choice for them.

That said, Squash posting his wife's experience is a good thing, as it can allow people to make more informed decisions.

My daughter in law also contracted Gillian Barre Syndrome after getting a flu shot. She was in intensive care for a month. She has recovered for the most part,but still has neuropathy in her feet. The drug company paid her $175,000.

Exposure is what makes your immune system stronger. Im healthy with a strong immune system so I'll let it work the way it was designed.

I get one every year. Almost died from the flu when I was much younger. At my much older age now, iI am not going to risk it.

With that, don’t push on me…. I am a grown man capable of making my own decisions.

Leave me be and I will leave you be.
