Hello dear readers, today I would like to share with you a little more about Covid-19 and its side effects on health. At this particular point we must take into account that thanks to the continuous advances of different scientists, vaccines have been found that help to reduce the spread of this virus, the problem lies in the adverse effects that these vaccines are causing to their users.

In this particular topic we are going to talk about Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), which is a disease that consists of the partial or total loss of body movement as a result of an attack on the peripheral nervous system by the body's immune system. The causes of this disease are still unknown, but among the most common cases are that weeks before its detection the patient has felt a tingling in the body, muscle weakness and respiratory infection, among other symptoms.

In different parts of the world up to the end of July, a total of 833 cases of people have developed Guillanin-Barré syndrome, days after having received the Covid-19 vaccine. These cases particularly resulted from the 592 million users who were immunized with the AstraZeneca dose, these figures were reported by the European Medicines Agency (EMA).

In this sense, the European Medicines Agency (EMA), indicated to place the observation as a possible side effect of this vaccine, so that people who are being vaccinated with it can take their possible medical precautions at the time of presenting any tingling or weakness in the body. This recommendation was also extended to the use of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, since it has the same adenovirus system as the AstraZeneca vaccine and may also be the possible cause of GBS.

It is also important to highlight that the chances of developing Guillanin-Barré Syndrome after inoculation with a dose of the aforementioned vaccines are quite low in comparison with the high degree of benefits they bring to the people who receive them.

The appearance of GBS has been observed in adult patients over 50 years of age, and it is considered one of the rarest diseases in the world because the possible reasons that cause it are still unclear. To date there is no cure for it, however there are medical treatments that help to improve the quality of life of people who suffer from it, relieving their pain and reducing the time of the disease.

The mortality rate that currently exists in relation to this syndrome is low, since the vast majority of patients suffering from this disease tend to recover with time and regain full mobility of their muscles, although certain sequelae such as weakness and tingling in their limbs persist.

In conclusion, I hope this information can be of great help for the well being and peace of mind of everyone, since we are in the middle of the inoculation process and it is where we all must take our corresponding precautions at the time of vaccination. Until next time friends, if you have something to contribute I would like to read your comments in the corresponding section.

hello @sidalim88,
I think that one of the reasons why this type of information is not made public is that the population could panic and not want to be vaccinated, which is normal if we consider that this vaccine is in the experimental stage, it gives a lot to think that governments that are genocidal also want to vaccinate their populations, it causes doubts about the insistence on the vaccine by all countries, people know that the states do not care about their citizens, so to see that they insist so much generates many doubts about the dangers of the vaccine.
