Að skjóta flugu með fílabyssu

Er ekki eitthvað til í því að svo og svo margir geti orðið alvarlega veikir af Guillain-Barré syndrome sem aukaverkanir af bólusetningu.
Erum við kannski bara að styrkja lyfjaframleiðendur.
Samskonar flensa var á áttunda áratug seinustu aldar og þá var bólusett í USA en fljótlega hætt vegna aukaverkana og jafnvel talið að fleiri hafi látist af völdum bólusetningarinnar en flensunnar.

Byrjað að bólusetja í október

Description

The classic scenario in GBS involves a patient who has just recovered from a typical, seemingly uncomplicated viral infection. Symptoms of muscle weakness appear one to four weeks later. The most common preceding infections are cytomegalovirus, herpes, Epstein-Barr virus, and viral hepatitis. A gastrointestinal infection with the bacteria Campylobacter jejuni is also common and may cause a severe type of GBS from which it is particularly difficult to recover. About 5% of GBS patients have a surgical procedure as a preceding event. Patients with lymphoma, systemic lupus erythematosus, or AIDS have a higher than normal risk of GBS. Other GBS patients have recently received an immunization, while still others have no known preceding event. In 1976–77, there was a vastly increased number of GBS cases among people who had been recently vaccinated against the Swine flu. The reason for this phenomenon has never been identified, and no other flu vaccine has caused such an increase in GBS cases.
