Picked up a hitchhiker the other night…
Hitchhiker; aren’t you afraid that I might be a serial killer or something?
Me; No way! Do you know the odds, of one serial killer, picking up another serial killer?
I don’t think I have ever changed another guy’s viewpoint with an argument either.
Shane Morgan got the flu shot on November 2nd. And he was left unable to speak, walk, see or even breathe less than two days afterwards.
Shane started complaining that he couldn’t feel his legs or arms so his wife rushed him to Centennial Hills Hospital, where he spent 4-days on a ventilator in the ICU.
According to doctors, the shot gave him Guillain-Barré Syndrome, considered a “very rare” side effect by the CDC. And they’re still warning us that we NEED the flu shot to save our lives.
It’s a rare disorder where a person’s immune system damages their nerve cells, in some cases turning deadly.
The Morgan’s say they’re sure the flu shot is what triggered it.
“I never dreamed that any of this could ever happen,” Shane said from his hospital bed.
According to the CDC, there is a link between the flu shot and GBS, but it’s extremely rare. Statistics show 1 to 2 people develop GBS from the flu shot per 1-million vaccinations.
Officials with the Southern Nevada Health District say the risk of developing GBS is actually higher if you catch the flu.
“The benefit from the flu vaccine greatly overcomes any specific rare condition like this one that might happen,” said Fermin Leguen, Chief Medical Officer with the Health District.
However, for the Morgans it’s just not worth the risk.
“He’d take the flu ten to one,” Monique said.
Interrupted by Shane who said, “I’d take the flu three times a season than to have to do this once in a lifetime.”
They say no one in their family will get the flu shot ever again.
The health district says this story shouldn’t deter people from getting the flu shot, they say it saves lives.
Here’s the truth. While this syndrome is a rare side effect, there are tons of common serious side effects from the flu shot. And you’ll never hear them from your doctor… because doctors aren’t told about them.
