Marik goes on “and indeed I’m not an anti-vaxxer. The risk of Guillian-Barre Syndrome exceeded the risk of being hospitalized … for influenza. So you know what? People need to decide for themselves.”
Yikes! Next these lunatics will be railing against tetanus vaccines.

For those wondering what Cochrane *actually* says on this subject:
In a population of healthy adults, influenza vaccination reduce influenza & influenza like illness. They may reduce hospitalizations.
For those over 65 yo or with comorbidities the benefits are likely larger.

And yes Marik’s GBS claim is also completely untrue.
Getting the flu is a much bigger risk for developing GBS than vaccination. (Unless you travel back to 1976 and get that years swine flu vaccine)
