It is also believed that it MIGHT be triggered by eating uncooked or undercooked poultry that has the campylobactor bacteria in it, Zika, Hepatitis (A, B, C, and E), CMV, recent surgery, respiratory or digestive tract infection, and ventilation, and a list of other possible triggers.

In fact, the vaccine AND Covid-19 are both considered RARE possible triggers, compared with all of the other possible triggers. Eating undercooked poultry is the most common trigger.

Lastly, Guillian-Barre syndrome is, in and of itself, a rare disorder. It's not likely that anyone would ever have it in the first place. And for those rare few who do, it is USUALLY triggered by something OTHER than the J&J vaccine or being sick with COVID-19.

Here's my source for this information:

You can check the Mayo Clinic website on Guillain-Barre syndrome,

Thank you for this information. I don't know why but I have always understood vaccines to be a cause of this very rare syndrome. I have also thought that the vaccine hesitancy we have here in the US is due to the very rare possibility of this specific syndrome. This comes from long before Covid too.
