There is no evidence that the COVID-19 vaccination increases the incidence of Guillain-Barré syndrome, a rare neurological disorder in which the body’s immune system attacks the nerves, according to a Rutgers-led study.

Published in the journal Vaccine, a statistical analysis by a Rutgers-team found that there was not a significant association between any of the COVID-19 vaccinations currently offered and the disease. The team was led by Nizar Souayah, a professor of neurology at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School who mentored a group of Rutgers New Jersey Medical School students, in collaboration with other scientists.

In July 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a warning, based on early reports, that those receiving the Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccine may be at a greater risk of developing the sometimes fatal disease.

From the conclusion:

>Although the reporting rate of GBS after COVID-19 vaccination was not
statistically different than that of the general population, the
increased reporting of GBS within the first 6 weeks after COVID-19
vaccination, more so than with other vaccinations, suggests that some
cases of GBS are temporally associated with COVID-19 vaccination.
However, there is a reduction in the reporting rate of GBS after other
vaccines, compared to reporting rates pre-COVID-19, highlighting
limitations inherent in any passive surveillance system. These findings
warrant continuous analysis of GBS after COVID-19 vaccination.

I think no evidence is a bit of a reach, considering the conclusion states it's up rather than down on reporting compared to other drugs - and that:

These findings warrant continuous analysis of GBS after COVID-19 vaccination

I can find no evidence for anything with little effort.

Not the organizations that are making billionaires from federal dollars..... Why do liberals love big pharma all of a sudden? They were the enemy of the people for decades according to liberal dogma.

So, who should be funding these studies? Irrelevant organizations? Their competitors? The GBS organization which probably has limited funding to begin with? If you dislike a certain party doing the study, atleast come up with a viable alternative.

Uh, like it used to be. Third parties awarded federal grants. Grant money has dramatically dropped over the last 10 years. A lot of researchers are spending more time competing for the little funding that is out there instead of doing research that saves lives and advances technology/science. All we have is crony capitalism being fueled by special interests.
