Taylor.

I only posted that snippet to emphasize that GBS is NOT contagious. In the hobby, lack of info can cause people to be skittish and I would not have known that without reading those links you provided.

Considering that even the common cold and the flu might be linked to some cases, I'd hate to have anyone worry about seeing you as you get back to work.

There are too many rumors that GBS can be triggered by the vaccine preservative Thiomersal which is an organic mercury compound. Some metals are harder for the body to metabolize and even though the FDA states that there isn't enough mercury to cause an issue, we all know that everyone is affected by medicines differently.

Another preservative added to vaccines recently is squalene which some have linked to the Gulf War Syndrome when us troops were forced to take the anthrax vaccine or face courtsmartial. All of it is speculation, but the vaccine manufacturers are the ones in charge of the testing.
