Peru declares 90-day health emergency over Guillain-Barre Syndrome outbreak

www.business-standard.com...

Peru has declared a 90-day health emergency over Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS), a rare neurological disorder. The diseases could lead to paralysis of the whole body in extreme cases.

Peru declared a nationwide emergency as Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), a rare neurological disorder, surged in the country. A 90-day health emergency has been imposed in the country to curb the outbreak.

So far a total of 182 cases have been reported, of which 147 have been discharged, four people died, and 31 remain hospitalised.

The country declares a health emergency at the request of Health Minister César Vásquez, who noted that an increase in the number of cases could mean a lack of immunoglobulin (antibodies).

Let's see what might be causing the sudden increase of cases of this syndrome

A correlation between a first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine and a small but significant rise in cases of the serious neurological condition Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), has been identified by UCL scientists, as part of an analysis of NHS data

Correlation? Small but significant? Let's not try to hide behind words.

J&J Vaccine and Guillain-Barré Syndrome: Information on the FDA Warning.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) attached a warning (included in fact sheets for patients and providers) in July 2021 to the Johnson & Johnson shot about the increased risk of developing GBS in the 42 days after vaccination.

It seems logical despite the attempts made to downplay this issue on the site I linked.

Guillain-Barré syndrome after mRNA-1273 (Moderna) COVID-19 vaccination: A case report

All vaccines have been linked with the syndrome one way or another. From AstraZeneka and J & J to the mRNA vaccines.

And don't forget: these events are rare, everything is under control, safe and effective.

they still hawk the vax by the Angamos train station

but what i know is most of the vax was sinovax and i think moderna

Your statement that all vaccines have been linked with GBS is true. That includes the ones that have nothing to do with Covid-19. For example, there was a noticeable outbreak following the 1976 Swine Flu immunization campaign. Most occurrences of GBS after vaccination happen within about a month and a half after vaccination.

GBS is essentially an autoimmune reaction that can be triggered by anything that stimulates the immune system, that includes surgery, viral infection, and vaccination.

In this case, if the GBS outbreak was causally linked to Covid-19 vaccination you would expect there to have been a corresponding increase in the Covid-19 vaccines uptake in Peru in the last couple of months, but it doesn't look like there was:

covid19.healthdata.org...

Peru, like most countries on the planet has had essentially no increase in Covid-19 vaccine uptake in the last year.

It's much more likely that the GBS outbreak in Peru is related to infection. For example, in 2019 (before Covid-19 or its vaccines came along) Peru had a GBS outbreak caused by Campylobacter jejuni.

As the Covid-19 pandemic recedes in the rear view mirror, and the vaccine uptake does also, people are going to have to stop blaming every public health issue on the vaccine, even though it's a lot of fun to to that.

Gee, I wonder what could have caused that and what mental gymnastics and big pharma funded excuses will be desperately deployed to explain it with a lot of "the science" thrown in.

They need a lot of mental gymnastics and excuses to explain away this phenomenon.

Mental gymnastics and excuses just as the poster above said.

Pretty much all Covid vaccines can cause this syndrome. But it could be true one vax maybe causing more incidents than other ones. It doesn't matter at this stage, as long as they recognise it's the vax (at least in a number of cases) and don't try to explain it away with ridiculous excuses.

How do you know it's much more likely to be related to an infection? If you give billions of these vaccines to people then you will have the expected side effects and conditions associated with mass vaccinations. That's a consequence of this policy.

True

I am wondering how a 90-day health emergency being imposed in the country will be able to curb the outbreak......if it's not a contagious disease.

By emergency they probably don't refer to lockdowns or other measures seen during the COVID-19 pandemic. It's a health emergency as they say and it could be caused or triggered by some virus (is what they can claim). No mentioning of any medical interventions in the last 3 years. It doesn't suit the narratives.

But you're right.

well unfortunately, we do not have the best educated minds...especially in the government who makes the decrees
