Since this question came up in class last week on flu vaccination and Guillain-Barre syndrome, I think I’ll mention this tomorrow: “most research indicates that active influenza infection poses a higher risk for GBS, and vaccination may provide protection against it” cc @jackiantonovich.bsky.social
Investigating Guillain-Barre Syndrome and Vaccines: Is There a Link?
Research exploring the link between vaccines and Guillain-Barre syndrome suggests there is a minimal overall risk for GBS associated with vaccination.

Pitched an essay to @lmansley.bsky.social for the @historians.org’s Perspectives magazine, I’m very excited about! What does it involve, you ask? Cannon balls. Cave paintings. And MORE! In a lot of ways, it’s an extension of my essay on unessays. Read that here: www.historians.org/perspectives...
