Guilian Barre Syndrome has no known cause other than viral or bacterial infection and that can happen without vaccines. It DOES happen without vaccines- cases have been confirmed as being caused by Zika and by certain gut bacteria.
It isn't the shot that's the problem. Viruses rewrite our DNA. Infection causes epigenetic change. If a half dead (or totally dead as is often the case) flu virus is the cause of onset, there is absolutely NO guarantee whatsoever that person wouldn't have gotten the flu on their own during the stage when the virus is most active and contracted GB.
