appreciate the reluctance — albeit not with the Covid vaccine. My oldest son was stricken with GBS when he was 10. GBS has a history of following on flu vaccines for a very small percentage of people — but statistics don’t really matter to those who are among that small percentage. None of us (I, myself and my 3 children) get the annual flu vaccine as a result of my son’s experience. It’s a pretty debilitating illness. So I can relate to a certain degree.
